What's a mom or dad to do when his child refuses to wear a safety helmet when bike riding, skateboarding, or even snowboarding? Make the helmet too cool not to wear!
Fohawx
Fohawx was inspired by a 7-year-old who refused to wear his helmet because it just wasn’t cool. The mission of the moms behind Fohawx was to provide a product that was hip enough to wear, while the helmets were protecting their kids’ heads. From long flowing strips fashioned like dreadlocks, to wacky and colorful punk shapes and high-top Mohawks, Fohawx are an embellishment that kids can add to any safety or bike helmet. With five styles to choose from (wavz, punkrox pink, punkrox yellow, dreadlox blue, and dredlox brown), kids can wear, collect, and swap Fohawx—easily switching them out and updating their collections. Available for $19.99; Fohawx (a New Jersey-based company).
