    I got broadsided by a car doing 80 km/hr. I was on a 750 four doing about 30kmh/hr.

    4 months intensive.

    No helmet, thank God cos I hit the corner of the kerb with my eyes. If I'd worn a helmet the visor would have killed me. I was very, very lucky.

    My best friend got wiped out by a hoon in a ute a few years back. Pete was fully protected with everything money could buy. Hoon's doing 90-100, Pete.... maybe 50. Dead as.

    All the helmets in the world won't count more than sensible parental care and protection.

    Common sense, parental care, thought.

    The OP asked about suitable safety/ protective headwear for young children and I feel the suggestion of an imported professional push bike helmet was a fair solution for the OP.

    I am not aware of any suitable motor bike helmets for sale anywhere in the world and for youngsters just say 2-5 years of age.

    Lets face it you don't see many people in western countries driving around with their wife and small child as pillion passengers on motor bikes.

    Maddies suggestion about producing a special lightweight helmet for children has a lot of merit after not only seeing what I see here but also in Vietnam. I would imagine the harness mechanism would have to be right but the idea is certainly worth some thought.

    No one cares about merit LT, I want a cut of the deal, 10% sounds about right.

    Any chance of an upfront payment.....?

    Which goes back to my original question to the now missing OP, why can't he stop them taking his 3 yr old on the motorbike? I know it's not always practical in rural Thailand but not sure I would let it happen.

    ^^ You bring me the orders mate and you can cut your own deal.

    Really to make a lightweight high impact (polycarbonate/ ABS mix) shell with a special adjustable harness is a fooking great idea and the asians will buy it for their kids even if they don't wear one.

    Get governement safety approval and a bit of funding covering the local's purchase and you are on your way mate.

    Then a kid is probably fucked anyway, unless the other people on the bike offer some sort of 'lucky' protection by their bodies' being in the way.

    Are you supposed to be arguing against me of what?

    Nope. just pointing out that 5 retards on a bike might be hit by something else. Then it doesn't matter if the retards are only tooling along at 5mph, does it?

    But if the retards are only tooling along at 5mph and fall off in a sandy patch on a concrete road, isn't any helmet better than nothing?
    Forget about the cement trucks hitting them head on.
