1. ConsumerReports.org
ConsumerReports.org is the most thorough reviewer we found of bike helmets. Although their coverage of adult bike helmets is severely out of date, this recent report on kids' helmets covers more than a dozen models, with ratings for impact absorption, fit and ease of use. The Bell Boomerang is one of three toddler helmets under scrutiny.

The Bell Boomerang has a rounded profile that resembles adult helmets -- analysts at BHSI say this is the best type of design, with fewer sharp edges that could snag in a crash. The soft foam visor and pinch-proof buckle are also highlighted.
