First Bike Ride with Daddy - Pull Behind

Daddy has been waiting for a long time to take the girls out on a bike ride.  They both needed to be able to sit up well on their own.  Since they have been sitting very well for awhile now we ran to Target to buy them both a helmet so that we could try it out.

It took Daddy awhile to get the bike and pull behind ready to go.  By the time everything was ready the girls were bumping up to their bed time and starting to melt down.  We tried it any way.  They both loved getting into the pull behind.  They were strapped in very well sitting on a seat and their feet dangled.  They loved scrubbing their feet on the floor.  Everything was going great until we put on their helmets.  We had tried the helmets in the house and overall they were fine with them.  However, in the pull behind the way the seat is the helmets pushed their heads forward so they had to look down.  They HATED that and started crying.  Once Dad started moving they both stopped but they still did not like those helmets.

You can kind of see how their heads are pushed forward.  They are not happy!  Kira on left & Alana on the right

We will have to find some new helmets for the next bike ride.
