βββββBLUEY SCORES 5 STARS FOR SAFETY! βββββ Good news, parents: the best helmet doesn't have to cost the most! Under the NSW Government's Helmet STAR ratings, the $22 Bluey toddler helmet earned the top 5-star safety rating. All helmets sold in Australia meet the safety standard, but not all protect equally. A 5-star helmet gives far better protection in a crash than a 1-star one. Before you buy, check the star rating. Then make sure it fits: β Sits level, two fingers above the eyebrows β Side straps form a "V" under each ear β Chin strap buckled, with one finger of space Right helmet. Right fit. Every ride. #RoadSafety #HelmetSTAR #ParramattaCatholicSchools #RideSafe
