We are all too familiar with the “you have to wear your helmet” cycle. They want to ride their bike. You want them to wear their helmet. They don’t want to wear their helmet. You won’t let them ride their bike. But they want to ride their bike. Then they have to wear their helmet… on and on it goes. Well hold on to your helmets ladies, I have stumbled upon a cycle breaker… a tantrum tamer… a helmet cover.
As soon as my daughter opened up the package, her “Big Stinker” Tail Wags was on her head. She thought it was hilarious to walk around with a skunk on her head and try to scare the rest of the family. As much as we all enjoyed that… I broke the news to her that it was, indeed, a helmet cover.
Despite the near-freezing weather, she immediately wanted to ride her bike. So out she went (with Daddy… thank goodness he was home)! The Tail Wags fit perfectly over her helmet and did not hinder her visibility in any way. It did enhance ours though – just try losing your kid while she’s wearing a giant skunk on her head! The soft fleece kept her head warm and she loved riding around with it on… almost as much as the neighbours loved watching.
There are 30 different Tail Wags covers to choose from and they are all made right here in Canada. The helmet covers fit over virtually any type of helmet from bike to hockey, equestrian to motorcycle. They come without packaging which passes savings along to you while at the same time being environmentally friendly. All things considered, Id’ have to say that Tail Wags Helmet Covers are a fun and worthwhile investment. You can even wash them when they get dirty… if you can manage to get it off your child’s head!
** Please remember to check your child’s helmet for signs of wear periodically.
