Tail Wags Helmet Covers Make Safety Fun!
Helmets for people under the age of 18 are the law in my neck of the woods, but it’s not that way everywhere. Even here, the law doesn’t always supersede stupidity. It doesn’t happen often on bikes but I regularly see kids on scooters, rollerblades & Ripstiks with their craniums bare for the smashing. With my background working with the brain-injured, it makes me cringe every time. (Wanna know what makes me cringe more? Helmet wearing kids bike riding with their soon-to-be-useless-bare-headed parents. Now I’ll step off my soapbox and tell you about a great solution for the raging stupidity!)
Tail Wags helmet covers are fun new accessory that has kids excited to wear their helmets! There are over 30 animal characters to choose from. From tigers and bears to turtles and dinosaurs, children love playing dress-up with Tail Wags helmet covers whether there’s a helmet around or not! My son wears his monkey on his head around the house, on his bike helmet and his hockey helmet and this winter we’ll be bringing it to the ski slopes as well because Tail Wags fit them all – even equestrian helmets!
Designed by Canadian mom Karyn Climans and made exclusively in Canada, Tail Wags not only encourage little ones to develop the helmet habit but they also help to increase the visibility of the wearer on the slopes, roads and skating rinks. Tail Wags are made from warm high quality fleece and are designed with a slit at the back to allow the wearer to access the helmet’s goggle clip. They’re made from top quality materials, are resistant to colour fading and tearing, and are sturdy enough to be worn under all kinds of conditions.
Check out the promotional video at the Tail Wags site or on YouTube.
Tail Wags helmet covers are available online and in retail stores worldwide for $40. Wouldn’t it make a great accompaniment to that new bike & helmet or skates & helmet that you’re buying? I think so.
Save 10% on your Tail Wags helmet cover order with the code opinion.
Win it! We’re giving away an adorable & gender neutral lion helmet cover from Tail Wags to one randomly selected winner. To enter, leave a comment on this post listing your two favourite animal characters from the Tail Wags line before midnight on September 9, 2008.

Helmets are so important! When my son was 10 he nearly lost an eye and had to have a steel plate in his head because of a bike accident and no helmet. My favorites are the raccon and the rooster.

Racoon and Beaver Too cute…AND Look awesome!
September 3rd, 2008 at 1:36 am
I think this is such a cool idea!!! Kids love to play dress-up anyway so what better way to encourage safety than to include a little “costume”? I can so picture the little kids in my family wearing these with their cute little faces and adorable smiles!!!
My two favorites are probably the gray tiger and the monkey.
Thanks so much!!

My daughter has to wear a plagiocephaly (flat head) helmet – I wonder if it would fit on top. My son calls her a rooster because of a bunch of curls on top of her head but I like the pink panther better.
