We ride at the park ..... I live literally across the street ... Not a busy street. I generally let the children use the climber, play in the sandbox around the climber and then use push toys, tikes on the path around the sandbox. With 5 I don't know how I would put helmets off and along with sun hats etc..... I had a parent bring me helmet today ... I think I will just not use the trikes anymore..... Thanks for your opinions.
