xxxxx cool-looking and safe bike helmets for kids and teens for their school commute
Schools are just getting started in my neck of the woods, and I’ve heard from a lot of parents that their kids will be pedaling to school instead of sitting on school buses, subway cars, or carpools to get to and from school in this age of Covid. And along with a quick bike tune up to check that there is air in the tires and grease on the chain, we also recommend you check out your kids’ bike helmets to make sure they are ready to protect your kids’ precious heads in case of a fall.
If their helmet doesn’t fit properly, has been involved in a crash, or is just too “babyish” in style, check out our list of xxxxx cool bike helmets for school-age kids, tweens, and teens that they will actually wear as they go to and from school on two wheels. Where possible, we have chosen helmets with MIPS technology built into them which run approximately $20-$25 more than a regular helmet.

My own head is covered in a Smith helmet when I cycle, and I just love how it fits. Originally focused on snow helmets, Smith’s bike helmets are super comfy and easy to adjust even while on the bike. The only downside is that they focus
Helmets, especially helmets for kids, should be checked regularly to make sure they still fit properly. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has an excellent quick-read checklist for parents on Fitting Your Bike Helmet. We don’t recommend you buy a second-hand helmet since damage from a crash may not be obvious to see. All helmets sold in the United States have to meet CPSC standards and will have that certification inside the helmet.

Thousand Bike Helmets for Teens
Our young eco-warrior teens will flip—though hopefully not off their bike—for the gorgeous, sleek, and environmentally friendly helmets from Thousand. I especially love their Chapter MIPS helmets which include a magnetic taillight for the back of the helmet and the extra protection against concussions and brain injury from MIPS technology. And with its corporate commitment to offset 110% of their carbon emissions, I know my sustainably conscious teens would appreciate that Thousand has thought about more than just the school commute when designing their helmet.
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
