Do your kids wear a helmet while riding a bike? EDIT added question

[kcook55]

Just wondering if you make your kids wear a helmet while riding there bike and or there scooter? Theres several neighbor kids that dont wear a helmet at all so my ds that almost 7 ask why they dont have to wear a helemt and if he can ride his bike without a helmet? I told him i dont know why there not wearing a helmet its not safe to not wear a helmet while riding a bike. So i asked him what are the rules about riding your bike? he says i have to wear a helmet if i want to ride my bike.

So one of the neighbor girls shes about ds age maybe a year older was riding her bike without a helmet while we went for a walk. and he asks her wheres your helmet she says i dont have one so he says you are supposed to wear a helmet its not safe and she says no im not and rides off.

EDIT: If you dont make your kids were a helmet why not? Its a huge safety issue. You make them ride in a car seat or a seat belt. you dont let them run around with knifes or play with fire and other unsafe thing why not make them wear a helmet its the same thing

Yes, of course.

 Yes they both do. It is just safer in my opinion and until they are old enough to make that call they will be wearing one. I just tell them that I love them and I don't want to see them bust their melons if they fall. My oldest says it too she says mom look at them no helmet they are gonna bust their melon if they fall.

yes my kids do, but my son (6) hates it b/c none of his friends have to.

Yes. As well as their scooters. They're six and seven

When learning to ride a two wheeler, yes, after he learned, no.
