toddler bike helmets?

Any recommendations for a good toddler helmet? My son is 2 and ready to ride his tricycle soon!

Thank you!

Go to Target! We got a great toddler helmet there. They have the traditional-looking toddler ones with cutsie designs like letters and numbers or flowers, and then they have the ones that look more like "big boy" helmets with racing stripes and bold colors--that's what ds wanted! I think they are made by Schwinn, but I can't be 100% certain off the top of my head. DH had gone to 4 different specialty bike shops, none of which carried toddler helmets.

Here's a link to a thread about these from the Baby Bargains board:

Rei.com still has the Giro Rodeo (we have this one) on sale, but its design is more girly (has a flowery-type pattern and little hula girl on it):

Fogdog.com has a different pattern Giro Rodeo on sale too that your DS might like:
