ATV/Snowmobile Helmut for 3Year Old

[RickOnt]

My Grandson Luvs riding on the 4 wheeler, and I know he should be wearing a helmut!!

 

So checked out Snowmobile helmuts and I can get XS But they are fairly heavy, SO I was thinking about a Bike Helmut or a Hockey Helmut.

 

What do you other Dad/Grandpas have the Kids wear???

 

Thanks

None of my business what you do but after seeing that TV program on ATV incidents I would not put any kid of mine on one!

when you have an atv rolling over, what type of protection do you want him to have?

Skeeter Royal Distributing is where I was looking at the XS snowmibile helmut but the Sales Lad advised it might be too heavy and suggested a Hockey Helmut..

I've ran into this once before... I had a Hockey helmet on my son

who was 4 at the time... we got stopped and almost charged by the OPP... the helmet must be DOT approved to be legal.

He said I may as well have used a construction helmet.

 

I then purchased a XS ATV helmet for my son and found that it wasn't that heavy..

 

But if you still find that's it's too heavy and are worried of neck injuries due to weight you may use a " Neck Guard" like they wear in hockey for stability.

That's the kinda info I was looking for!! I was wondering about the DOT thing and the suggestion about the "Neck Guard" very good idea.

 

Thanks Very Much
