    Buying a bike helmet for my son

    Hello
    I would like to buy a bike helmet for my son. I'm a little worried about the comfort of sitting, so I'd like to know your experience, which helmets are nicely flat at the back so that a child can lean on as much as possible.
    I like this Uvex Kid helmet <link removed> because it has done quite well - does anyone has this helmet?
    In the bike shops I found the selection unfortunately very modest so I wanted to ask here for some advice. Which bike helmet would you recommend for kids?

    So, you signed up to a tech forum to ask about bike helmets? Interesting. I find the fit of my i5-2500 beautiful, and it is nice and flat at the back to receive the heatsink. I wouldn't recommend letting your child lean on it mind, as the snot and jam that comes with them tends to not play nicely with the average motherboard. But hook up a decent GPU and your kid can bypass the pedalbike stage and get straight onto street racing in the beautiful surrounds of Metro.

    Following our recent ribbing about QOTW topics, I'm wondering if this guy is undercover HEXUS trying to ascertain intel on the most productive subjects of discussion, or something.....

    then they should try cheese. And I'm not sure why QOTW needs ribbing. Is that for extra sensory market penetration or something?

    for a regular poster I'd agree. But why sign up to a tech site to ask about bike helmets?

    It will be Zachary, and you shall be thankfull I'm not insisting on Zachariah... Honestly, how do you expect people to take me seriously as a doctor, if my assistant won't even go by the full-length version of his biblically-referenced name?

    Now, when you're done here, send Meshach and Bartholomew down to fetch me a few more corpses for my research...
