Kids' helmets - Hold the licensed characters
With my kids racing around our hilly neighborhood on the Mini Kick scooters we bought for their birthdays, helmets are a mandatory part of their attire. But it's tough finding helmets that fit little heads well-- and aren't covered in characters from the TV.
The Little Nutty helmets from Nutcase (ha - get it?), whose motto is "I love my brain," make helmet-wearing fun, rather than merely a necessity, with seriously bold, clever designs for both boys and girls.

But these helmets don't just look great-- they're safe and smart too. The ABS shell with inner foam plus a great venting system keeps kids' heads protected and fairly cool. Depending on the head size, you can adjust the helmet with a handy fit dial in the back; even so, make sure your kiddo's head is in the size range. If they're too big for the Little Nutty, you can go up to Nutcase's regular street helmets.

Most of all, I love the one-handed magnetic closure which allows even my littlest one to get her helmet on and off herself, and without nicking her chin. I won't say how many times we've accidentally done that. -Kristen

You can purchase Little Nutty helmets at the Nutcase online store, REI.com or in cool boutiques. They have them in adult sizes too!
