This post is part of a sponsored campaign for Wipeout Dry Erase Productive Gear. I received compensation for my participation, but my review and opinions are my own.
When first becoming a Mom, there are many “rules” most of us plan to go by. One I can vividly remember saying was, “My children will NEVER sleep in my bed.” HA HA HA. Joke’s on me! Every single night I sleep in between a 7 and 3-year old. And you know what? I’m treasuring those sweet, sweaty cuddles (and midnight kicks in the ribs), because I know it will be over all too soon.
While my co-sleeping thoughts have certainly changed, there is one rule I have religiously stuck to since becoming a mom — that is that I will always make my children’s safety a number one priority. I can honestly say that this philosophy has saved both my children’s lives. Remember that horrific car accident my family was in two years ago? My boys walked away from what could have been a very tragic event. One that left me with 14 broken bones, including my neck. Because my boys were properly secured in their car seats, Avery was still rear facing and Lincoln in a 5-point harness, they did not have a single scratch on them. Safety works. Safety saves lives.
Encourage Kids Bike Safety with Fun Protective Gear
Naturally I am that Mom that 100% absolutely, no questions about it insists her children wear full-protective gear when riding a bicycle. It’s pretty simple. If my kids want to ride a bike or scooter, they are wearing a protective helmet and pads. I know sometimes kids complain about wearing all that extra bulky protective gear, but it is such an important necessity…not an option! Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear makes wearing helmets and pads FUN!
What Makes Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear Different?
Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear lets kids customize their helmets and pads with their own designs, using included markers and stencils. What kid wouldn’t want a customized designed helmet made by themselves?! And because it’s dry-erase, kids can constantly change up their designs again and again! Wipeout makes safety FUN! Kids will actually want to wear their protective gear! It’s a win win!

This is an awesome idea! I know because I have this gear for all three of my kids. They love being able to decorate their own safety gear.
Jeanette
We have all of these safety gear things for the bike. I wish we would’ve known about the ones that he could decorate because I’m pretty sure my son would have loved to do that.
Sarah
Letting kids decorate their own bike safety equipment is an awesome way to encourage children to love their protective gear. If kids love their gear, they will want to wear it, which will cut back on accidents. This is such an awesome idea!
Amy Desrosiers
My kids would love this helmet. They love adding their special touches to things.
reesa

Claudia Krusch
This is a great giveaway. It is so important to wear the right protective gear.
Sinisa
This is super fun for kids. My younger one loves putting his own personal touch on everything. This is perfect for him.
Sherry
Keeping protected while biking is so important. I have a younger cousin who had to learn how to do everything all over again, including walking and feeding himself, due to a head injury sustained during a biking accident while not wearing a helmet.
Brian
This is a fantastic idea. Being on a street near a local elementary school I see packs of kids riding their bikes to and from school. I’m always a nervous a morning commuter will be oblivious to a young child riding his bike/scooter. This is a fantastic little arts and crafts project to help children stand out and encourage safety.
Thank you for sharing!
