My child refuses to wear a helmet. What should I do?

Involve your child in the helmet selection process — let them choose the color or design. Kids are much more likely to wear a helmet they think looks cool. Make it non-negotiable, like a seatbelt — helmets are required equipment, not optional. Lead by example and always wear your own helmet. Start the habit early so wearing a helmet feels normal and expected. Consider a helmet with a Fidlock buckle that's easier for small hands to manage independently.
