Check Your Head: Tail Wags Helmet Covers

No one's questioning the importance of kids' wearing helmets while bicycling, skateboarding, snowboarding or doing anything else that might endanger their precious noggins -- although if not for pictures like this one, we'd probably be questioning the need to slap a soft, fuzzy cover on said helmets.

While you may not need to deck out your kid's helmet as a turtle, beaver, lion or green dinosaur, Tail Wags Helmet Covers are so doggone cute that kids may actually start donning their safety gear without a fight. That the covers (which even our old friend Elmo endorsed this spring) add extra warmth to kids' heads during the aforementioned activities is a nice bonus, even if it's the last thing those of us in hotter climes may be wanting this time of year.

Running $40 each, Tail Wags have been well-distributed in their creator's home base of Canada until now, but they've also started spreading into the U.S., Europe and Australia: Visit the company's site for a full list of retailers, or if you place an order online, you can enter the coupon code "Babble" at checkout for a 10% discount.
