I feel like I should wear one so my child will wear one on the bike, but I hate them and don’t really want to
Edited* Kids in the UK are not required to wear one. I don't wear one when riding with my kid (the kid does). There are lots of things that are different between kids and adults, It's not fair, it's just the way it is. I just explain it that way.

Such as the type and frequency of bike crashes. Assuming we're talking small children who are not playing in traffic, they're going to topple off at low speed - exactly what cycle helmets are designed to mitigate. Sober adults tend to do that much less, but they get hit by fast moving lumps of steel, on which helmets have little effect.

Has this been resolved yet? I feel like I should wear one so my child will wear one on the bike, but I hate them and don’t really want to. But if I feel like she should wear one, should I believe I need one too? What should I believe? And what should I buy, just some cheapo shit from Evans?
