Bike Safety & Helmet Fitting Event

  • Trestlewood Pediatrics 5082 Lovers Ln Portage, MI 49002 (map)

Trestlewood Pediatrics and Safe Kids Kalamazoo County are hosting a bike safety event focused on properly fitting helmets for upcoming spring and summer activities! A properly fitted helmet can dramatically reduce the risk of severe brain injuries.
You may bring your child's current helmet for a fitting, or new helmets will be available for a $10 donation to Safe Kids Kalamazoo County. The helmets provided are CPSC-compliant for non-motorized wheeled activities like bicycling, kick scooter riding, as well as inline and roller-skating.
A CPSC compliant skateboarding helmet should be worn for skateboarding and long boarding. If your child rides a motorized scooter or bike, a moped or motorcycle helmet is recommended.

Sponsor: Safe Kids Kalamazoo County

Cost: free fitting;, $10 for a new helmet
