Bike Helmets for Kids

by Joe • October 25, 2014 • 2 Comments

If you have gone ahead and purchased a bike for your young one, hopefully you have also provided some safe protection for the kid in the event of a fall. This post features my best 5 bike helmets for kids that should help you choose a helmet in case you haven’t purchased one yet.

I have included a link to a helmet sizing guide as it seems parents are struggling to find good information regarding kid’s helmet size charts.

My recommended bike helmets for kids are, the JOOVY Noodle Kids Bike Helmet, Giro Me2 Toddler Bike Helmet, Razor v17 Child Helmet, Giro Rascal Bike Helmet and Bell Fraction multi-sport helmet

When it comes to choosing the best bike for 2 year old members of the family can be confusing due mainly to the vast amount of choices available.

We have taken a look at what’s available and condensed them into a short list of the top 5 which will provide not only the best value but will also give more years of use.

Included in the short list are a Radio Flyer pink tricycle, a collapsible bike, Radio Flyer toddler bike, the Fisher-Price rock, roll, ‘n ride trike and the Strider ST-4 balance bike.

Air Pump for Tires

In this post you will find my top 3 versions of an air pump for tires that will keep your car tires at the correct pressure all year round.

The 3 models featured in this review are the Viair 00073 70P, the Slime 40022 and the Kensun 12v Air Pump. All of these models have been rated very well with users and is something we can into account.

Apart from the safety aspect of having the correct pressures set, who knows the moment and where we will need to inflate a tire just to get us home or to the nearest service station.

Battery Operated Portable Heater

Battery Operated Space Heater for Camping

Although the battery operated portable heater that many folk seek out might disappoint, there are options that will do the job intended very well.

For example there are outdoor types using hand and body heaters and are very happy how they perform at keeping them nice and warm. Even battery powered coffee heaters can be great at doing what they claim to do.

Space heaters can be the biggest disappointing types purely due to technology not being advanced that far yet. However you might find the XPower Powerpack 1500 very useful.

I have decided to treat our Xmas tree with a Christmas present this year and that is a new white Christmas tree skirt. My old I have been keeping for sentimental reasons, but this year we are treating ourselves.

There are plenty to choose from although not that many in white and the right size. I have broken it down to a short list that will help anyone else who is looking for a white version.

Some have a red motif added, some are in different materials such as velvet and lace, some have silver glitter added, see for yourself.

Attempting to keep all the kitchen appliances in the same color scheme can be a challenge although a challenge that’s worthwhile.

The red 4 slice toaster is just one example of the problem. Not only finding the right color of toaster, but also one that will do everything you want.

This post features a selection of 4 such toasters that are very different and worth a look.
