Remember when wearing bicycle helmets were so not cool? Well, there’s a hip new trend in the helmet world, and it has kids wanting to rock bicycle helmets – even when they aren’t on their bikes!
Raskullz, the new 3D helmets that have skyrocketed in popularity for kids and their parents who purchase them, are so cool that celebs including Gwen Stefani, Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling and Madonna are getting them for their cool/hip kids.

Kids should always wear helmets when they are riding bikes, in fact, it’s illegal in many states for children to go without one! Regardless of the law in your state, helmets help save lives. Here are a few extra reasons to make sure kids wear their helmets, just in case a cool Shark helmet doesn’t do the trick:
- Universal helmet use by children 0-14 could prevent up to 294 deaths and up to 529,000 injuries annually.
- 2,200 of the children who sustain bike-related head injuries will suffer permanent disabilities.
- Head injuries accounted for 63 percent of bicycle fatalities in 2008; 75 percent of these fatalities were a result of collisions with motor vehicles.
Raskullz is making their debut into the world of wheels with the release of four totally cool tricked out bicycles. Retailing for $79.99 exclusively at Walmart – it’s the perfect gift they will never forget, and you’ll feel good about!
