do you ride your bike with LO?

Maybe this is more directed at moms of older kids? I was walking today and saw a woman with a baby (maybe 1 yr old? 18 mos tops) in a seat on the back of the bike.  The little girl was strapped in and seemed to really be enjoying the ride, but she didn't have a helmet or anything on. I just kept thinking OMG if that woman ever fell.. or got hit by a car...

If you ride with a baby seat, does LO wear a helmet?

    We haven't biked with DD yet, we wanted her to have a little more control over her body, which she does now, but sadly the weather is too cold.  However, we do have a helmet for her and if it doesn't fit in the spring we will be buying a new one, I couldn't imagine not having a helmet on her precious little head.

    We have an iBert seat that we used with DD1 and started using w/DD2 who is now 8 months old. We always use a helmet. DD1 is 3 and is riding her tricycle by herself so sometimes we ride around our neighborhood together and DD2 goes in the iBert seat. She seems to enjoy it.

    We have never biked with DS, but if we did, he would absolutely wear a helmet. In fact, in our area anyone under 16 is required by law to wear a helmet and if they aren't the adult with them will get ticketed (not sure how that works with older kids without adults).

    I have never biked with DD2 yet, but DD1 wears one on her bike but Im not sure how I feel about those bike seats.

    I DID however see a dad today with his infant (5months or less) on a bike with his baby in a carrier front facing. Neither were wearing helmets.. how he thought that was a good idea I don't know. Tongue Tied
