We really struggle with our son when he is in the trailer as well. We put the helmet on him to start, but he rarely has it on when we stop. He even pulls the pads off the inside the helmet that velcro on and toss them out, and somehow we have always found them. I'm thinking some glue may be in order.

Hate to admit it, but he often "wins". As we ride mostly on our local trail, and only a few blocks on low traffic streets (rarely meet a car) to get there, I've been a bad dad and let it go.

I tell myself that the trailer adds protection from an accident like a dump over, but know deep down that if a car ever hit the trailer it would provide very little actual protection.

I'll try to be a better dad this season... =\.
