I just did a web search for "walking helmet", and got pages of stuff on
helmets for babies and toddlers learning to walk.  I guess that's a
thing these days; I must be out of touch.  Perhaps one day we'll see a
generation unwilling to step outside without a helmet.

 
That'll be a sad day indeed. But the general trend toward "Danger!
Danger!" warnings is strong. At one time, Safe Kids recommended that no
kid under age 10 be allowed to cross a street alone.

This i suspect like the bike holsters for guns, while available to buy,
they aren’t seen in the flesh.

I see lots of kids and babies with families and friends let alone living in
a large city, not a walking helmet to be seen!
