Hi everyone! Our family loves biking together, but recently we've run into a bit of a comfort issue. Our two girls, age 4 and 14 months, love riding in their trailer, but they are always complaining about their helmets. Right now we are using the Giro Me2 (http://www.giro.com/en-us/products/cycling-helmets/me2/) with both girls and we're finding that the back of the helmet juts out enough to either push the helmet down over their eyes, or makes them have to sit with their heads pushed forward, or sit slouched...and all three of those things get kind of annoying after a while.
I'm thinking that a kids helmet with a thinner/fuller back (like a skateboarding helmet) might be the way to go, but I was wondering if any of you had any ideas or advice first. A couple helmets that have been mentioned to us to solve this problem are:
Specialized Small Fry (http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=39043&menuItemId=9301&eid=4952)
Casco Mini Pro (http://www.50cycles.com/casco/casco-mini-pro-helmets.php) (only available in the UK, so we'd have to get it shipped here which would cost a lot...so this isn't ideal, but it's exactly what we had in mind)
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated!
