Keeping our kids safe is definitely a full time job.  We baby-proof, we supervise, and we continually drill safety lessons.  Amidst all that, we hope that our kids get to have fun, be free, and be… well… kids!  Yes, protecting our children to the best of our abilities is incredibly important, but who says it has to be boring?  Not us!  and definitely not the fine folks over at Tail Wags.  They have found a way to make protecting our little one’s noggins an entertaining and creative experience.

Their adorable line of helmet covers encourages kids to wear their helmets by letting them express themselves during their active play.  In the summer they can be used while riding bikes, skateboarding, rollerblading, or horseback riding.  In the winter helmets are a great idea for those little skiers, snowboarders, or for extreme sledders.  Just ask my brother Philip about our game with our G.T. Snowracers – we called it “Ambulance”, and to this day I am shocked that we never needed one to pick up any pieces!

This is one of the newest designs, and I think it's so cute!

Having a unique cover on your child’s helmet can also help you pick them out of a crowd.  Trying to ski down a hill while keeping an eye on your completely fearless, snowsuit-clad torpedo among all the other little fearless, snowsuit-clad torpedoes?  No problem, just look for the one whose helmet looks like a bumble bee!

Increase your visibility, and spread a few smiles along the way.

This little penguin is too sweet for words

Helmet covers are available in two sizes (Adult and Child), and fit all models of approved helmets.  You can find them on the Tail Wags website, follow along on twitter, or be a facebook friend (and get a 10% discount!).  I even hear rumours that they will be attending the upcoming One Of A Kind show in Toronto, so if you are in the area you can pick one up in person.

Here’s to keeping our loved ones safe all year through, and having some fun at the same time!
