Is their any additional padding that a child should have on their little bodies, or will the helmet suffice?
Thanks.

P.S. is it a national law that parents must wear a helmet? If so what do you where and why? Any other pads? Thanks.

Answer
All Wal*Mart helmets or other chain / low cost store helmets have passed safety standards in the U.S. That's why thaey can be sold here...

So.. anything you buy will meet the same standards... Expensive or cheap.

Buy something that your child likes (color / graphics), otherwise they will fight wearing it...

The bigger the vents, the cooler they are.. probably not a critical thing for a child sitting in a bike seat not doing any strenuous exercise, but once your 9 to 15 year old is doing the hard work of pedaling, then a cooler helmet will be nice.

Expensive helmets are usually lighter, and have bigger vents... That's where the differences are... Not in the amount of protection they offer.

My state does not have a helmet law (bicycles or motorcycles). so there is nothing "National".. your state may have specific helmet laws.. you need to check on that.

BMX helmets give the illusion of offering more protection.. it may be more than an illusion though. They cover more of the skull. They are more like a hockey helmet... They have a higher "cool" factor than a regular bike helmet... since they are also used by the skateboard gang.. They may be a bit heavier though.

Fingerless gloves with padding in the palms are the only other riding item I would suggest...

What should I get my boyfriend for Christmas? I want to get him something we can do together.?

My boyfriend of 1 year says he doesn't want anything for Christmas, and he HATES getting gifts. I was thinking that I could get him something we could do together, such as concert tickets or something of that sort. I'm still in high school, so a vacation is obviously out of the question. Any ideas?

Answer
Gift ideas for birthdays, mothers day, fathers day, Christmas....

Driving: a CLUB, steering wheel cover, back support pillow, window shades
Diving: Scuba gear, new flippers, weights, snorkel,
Swimming: cool swim suit, sun glasses, visors, beach towel
Golf: Personalized tees or balls, glove, golf bag, cart with wheels
Ball games: Ball, glove, mitt, or tickets to favorite team, baseball cap
Boating: Floating ice chest, floating flashlight, flag, canopy, life vest..
CDs of favorite artists, concert tickets
Quilt, comforter, Snuggy thing, booties, pretty umbrella
Lip gloss, spray-on hair shine, energy bars, votive candles, calendar, hair extensions, clips
Board games: checkers, chess, Upwords, Scrabble, Monopoly, card games...
Book covers
Badminton, ping pong set, croquet, horseshoes
2-man inflatable raft (canoe, boat, kayak) and paddles
bicycle built for 2

The best and easiest gift to receive and to give is a Gift Card/Certificate to a favorite store.
They can redeem it after the holidays when things are half price.

Especially for adults that are hard to buy for:
Make some "good for" tickets and put them in a stocking or card. Things that say:
Good for one free back/neck/foot massage.
Good for detailing your car (wash, wax, shampoo car carpets and seats)
Good for vacuuming the whole house
Good for cleaning the garage, attic and/or basement (whichever you have)
Good for babysitting the younger kids so you can have a peaceful bubble bath
Good for making dinner every nite for a week, doing the dishes and cleaning up afterward
Good for cleaning out the fireplace and chimney
Take down curtains and drapes, wash them and re-hang.
Clean upholstered furniture.
Wash windows
Shampoo carpets

I bet you can think of a lot more; you know them better than we do. Trust me, they'll be thrilled!!!
