cycling with kids: kit to ride with children from babies to independent teens

Helmets are the obvious one here. While you can get great helmets for little kids, helmets are not suitable for small babies- they’re too heavy. It’s worth looking into trailers that have good baby inserts and a good roll cage if you want to cycle with a child too young to hold their own head up and airway open when they fall asleep with a helmet on (and recognise that riding with small babies is generally not recommended).
