Bicycle and Small Wheels Safety

A young child's skull is soft and easily injured from a collision or fall.

Whenever children are riding wheeled toys or bicycles, it is important that they are wearing a correctly fitted and AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS approved HELMET. This is an ADULT'S RESPONSIBILITY.

Young children who wear helmets from the moment they start riding their first wheeled toy are more likely to continue the helmet wearing habit.
