Protect That Noggin

As a mom when my children go out to play I like them to be safe as well as prepared for what lies ahead. With skating there will be falls, scrapes, and maybe even breaks. So far the latter has not happened. Being prepared for these things means as a mom you outfit your child with Helmet, and Pads. It was really a no brainier for me. I can't promise she will always wear them. Kids are kids, but I can have them available to her, while encouraging her to use them each time she goes out. 

I was able to find a really nice set from Jifar while looking for skates for my daughter. The set comes in several colors black, blue, and pink. Everything came in a really nice bag for storage which is nice when you are trying to keep things organized when not in use and easy to find when you need it.

We chose the set in pink as it was closest to my daughters favorite color purple. The helmet has a matte finish so you can paint, decorate, or leave plain. You get the helmet, knee, elbow, and wrist pads plus the bag. The pads fit my daughter but just barely where the helmet has plenty of room for growth. The helmet is easy to adjust which is just what I like. Some helmets are so hard to fit to your child's head.

I love that once we adjusted the helmet and showed my daughter how to use the pads she was able to get ready to use her skates without help. As a reminder please make sure you check your child's helmet often for fit as well as wear and tear.

The Jifar Helmet and pad set can be found below.

Computer for your Bike

It took me a while to learn about this bike computer mainly because I thought I would just put it on and be on my way, but it took a lot longer then that to set up. Once set up you are good to go but you need to make sure you follow the directions. You have to make sure all of the information is in the system right to get accurate readings.

You have a part that hooks to the bike handles and tire. Even though it was a bit tedious once set up it was good, but changing it from one bike to another isn't easy you have to reset the whole system and find the right numbers to put in the system so that the reading will be just as accurate for another bike. Overall a good product, just remember you need time to set this up for your bike.

Anti-Theft your bike

Having children usually means owning bikes and with that comes keeping them safe when they are doing errands around town or swimming at the park. With a bike lock we can make sure their bikes stay theirs and not someone else's.

A lock that is easy for my children to use but hard for someone to crack is something we needed and this bike lock does that. For safety we always keep a copy of the code in a safe place in case the children forget it.

I love that this comes with a bike mount to hold the lock. It has a cover protecting the metal from rusting, and has a sleek design,

Bike Wall Mount Rack

Over the years we have had 6 children and with that comes many bikes in different sizes and styles. One thing we have never had are bike racks to store them on when it is out of season here to ride them. This is where a bike rack like this comes in.

What I liked most about this bike rack is that it came with all of the hardware to be able to attach it to a wall in a sturdy and safe way that will hold the weight of a bicycle in between uses or in our case between seasons, which keeps our porch floor clear for other in season products.

This would be great on a porch like ours or in a garage. I have even seen something like this one walls in apartments in the city for easy storage and use.

You can find this bike rack on Amazon.

Mini Bicycle Pump

Being a parent I want my children to be ready for pretty much anything that comes at them. Since my children all ride bikes and we live in the country I want to make sure if they get a flat away from home they are going to be able to get home safely with their bike.

Having a mini bike pump is one way to do that. I really like how this does the job well. I don't like how it attaches to the bike. I want something that will not bring down the value of the bike so maybe they could come up with a different way for it to attach to the bike.

Also they need to have a spot for the needle so that if you are riding to play basketball, and find your ball needs to be pumped you will have everything you need with you. Even though this is small it is easy to use and works well. Over all I am very happy with this product, and hope to see more products from Cyrrus in the future.
