As a parent of a child who wore a helmet for real health issue this sounds like a terrible idea. Children who wear helmets do so for REAL reasons. The helmets have to be constantly adjusted for shape and growth of a babies head - which develops rapidly and grows at an incredible rate. Forcing a child to wear a helmet for "safety reasons" could potentially impact their health and development. Further, children who wear helmets for real reasons often have their gross motor skills delayed a bit because they have this big clunky thing on their head that they have to counter balance. The health benefits outways the delay. They do catch up.
My daughter is out of her helmet now. She is a little gross motor delayed with walking and crawling - but I would rather her get a little bump on her head from trying to learn to walk then have her in a helmet all day/every day.
Plus, a little parent supervision goes a long way.
