i think it boils down to how well the baby can support it's neck and head, particularly if there is excessive movement in the trailer resulting from an accident. you would't want them getting whiplash or some such thing. you also have to consider where to get a helmet that small. that nutcase i bought for jake is the smallest one if could find anywhere and i still have the thickest pads in it with the dial cinched all the way down and he has kind of a big noggin. never fear, they will be big enough before you know it. why not just push him around in the trailer for now to get him used to it?
