It is up to us parents to encourage our kids to be safe. Here are a few tips to help them out.

Helmets are for EVERYONE!

Wear a helmet every time you lace up your roller blades or climb on your bike. skateboard, rip-stick or scooter - no matter what age!

To fit your child's helmet, follow these steps:
1. Place a snug-fitting helmet on your child's head.
2. Adjust the helmet straps so the helmet cannot be moved from side to side or back and forth.
3. There should be about one finger width between the chin straps and the child's chin.

Remember to:
1. Ride your bike on the right-hand side of the street.
2. Obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals
3. Ride skateboards and scooters on the sidewalk.
4. Give cars and pedestrians the right-of-way.
5. Wear a helmet and protective clothing, no matter how slowly you are riding because a fall at any speed can cause sever head injury.

Set an example by wearing a helmet and encourage your friends to wear them!

Remember a helmet only works when you wear it!

Check back each day this week for more safety tips!
