When traveling with children, bringing along a scooter is a great idea for kids who are too big for strollers but too young to walk for miles without complaining. I’ve written about scooters before but today I’m talking about helmets and protective gear.
NYC kids start riding scooters as toddlers and quickly get accustomed to wearing helmets without complaining. At the ripe age of seven, my daughter has gone through a handful of helmets which she has outgrown literally and figuratively. You see, if another kid in my daughter’s school wears something my daughter owns, she no longer wants to wear it. While I appreciate her need for originality, this has become an issue. When I heard about Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear – customizable helmets and pads – I knew it would be a great fit for her (no pun intended).
Get crafty and stay safe with Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear.
The helmets come in an assortment of solid colors and dry erase markers and stencils are included so kids can start being creative right out of the box! My daughter had a friend over when the items arrived and they couldn’t wait to start decorating the helmet and pads…
Customizing the Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear with markers and stencils
The dry erase markers and stencils were easy to use and best of all, any mistakes could quickly be wiped off. If you’ve got a kid whose interests change frequently, this is a great item as they can doodle hearts and butterflies one day and draw skulls the next. The Wipeout Website features some easy-to-follow design tutorials or kids can run wild with their own ideas.
The helmets are made of ABS hard-shell construction with EPS liners for durability and they are certified for safety protection for biking, skateboarding, roller-skating and scooter riding. There are three sizes available which fit kids ages 3-14. A snow version is also available with ear flaps and a goggle clip for sledding and snow sports.
The Wipeout Dry Erase Protective 3-Pack includes kneepads, wrist guards, elbow pads and two dry erase markers. Pads come in black, teal, neon pink or zest.
We took to the park for a test drive and my daughter commented on how comfortable everything felt and loved that she could take the knee pads on and off by herself. I loved that too!

What a great and crafty idea. It’s perfect for city kids who “play” in the park and streets alongside cars, trucks and even worse, the crazy bike delivery people. I would get this for my niece who is 7. I think we would draw elephants!
What a fun idea. You are right about gift items. It makes a great gift, something different yet useful.
Thanks for all the great ideas.
Love these! Just ordered a pair for my nephews. They are always on their skateboards.
Something to truly get that creativity going. I love it.
My nine-year-old is into roller blading (on new york city sidewalks!) and she is a HOT MESS! I so need to look into this cool brand. I make both of the kids wear helmets but they both really could use some suped up knee pads too!
OMG this is the COOLEST!!!!! My son would go nuts!! Thanks for sharing!
