Snowboarding Helmets
Q: Is it really a big difference? can I use a skateboarding helmet n the snow?
A: I wouldn't recommend it. There is a reason why skateboard helmets are made the way they are, and why snow board helmets are made the way they are. The difference: protection on the danger level of the activity. Snowboarding has a lot more padding to cushion
That's not super expensive.

Helmtops are cute, rubbery, decorative charms that fit through the holes of safety helmets such as bike helmets, ski and snowboard helmets, and other helmets with holes. Helmtops was started on the idea that it was easier to get kids like ours to wear their bike helmets if they could personalize their helmets with unique decorations. Our business is all about encouraging kids’ safety in a fun, inexpensive way.
What inspired you to start your business? Our family was sitting on a stalled chairlift at a ski mountain, and as usual carrying on at least two conversations at once. One of the conversations involved my daughter asking about why she had to wear her ski helmet that “really isn’t that cute, Mom;” and the other conversation was with my husband and son talking about how when we were kids, we would collect little metal decorative pins from places we skiied or visited, and pin them to our hats. A lightbulb went off — I realized that while you can’t pin anything to a helmet, most helmets have holes that are perfect for a little “bling” and would hopefully make my daughter more interested in wearing her helmet.
How long have you been in business? We’ve been in business for just under a year, although we’ve only been in stores for about 4 months — there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes leg work that goes into bring a new children’s product to market. (Luckily we were too naive to realize that when we started!) We’re excited because we have great traction and are selling in 20 stores in New England as well as through Amazon and our own website, www.Helmtops.com. My ideal work day now has been spending a sunny Saturday with my family working at one of the charity bike rides we have donated product to, like the PMC Kids Rides (http://kids.pmc.org/) which raises money to help cure cancer. There is such a positive vibe and the kids love running around and meeting other kids. It’s really energizing even though it is hard work.
