A bicycle helmet should be worn at all times when riding a bike. Most bike crashes occur in your own neighborhood. Wearing a helmet may protect the head and brain from injury.
Bike helmets are very important for both children and adults.
The seat must be properly installed, and all nuts and bolts should be secured. A seat used ten years ago or longer is not safe, and should not be used. Keep in mind that a child in an infant seat makes a bike more unstable for the driver. Use safety devices and fencing that has self-locking latches placed out of reach of small children. Keep rescue devices and first-aid equipment at poolside.
