Toddler helmets?

Just got a bike seat for my one year old lad. Looking in to helmets for him and all the toddler ones (he's got a 46cm head) seem to have naff patterns and things on them. Does anyone know where to look for a helmet that will fit that is just plain? Ideally it would also resemble (somewhat) a normal road helmet. Is that asking too much?

I had the same probelm.
I bought a Giro Spree Kids Helmet - which was black with blue flames (red also available).
He's 4 now and currently has an Abus Brooklyn but not sure how small they go.0 -

Junior Bond has a Specialized one with dinosaurs on it.
Everyone loves dinosaurs...
He's had it since he was about 1 I think.0 -
Bought my Son the Met Elfo S helmet in pirate livery. IIRC there are a few different designs to chose from. It seems well made and there's enough adjustability to get a secure fit. His is a size 46-53cm.
Planet X are selling them for £14 at the mo:

Thanks for the pointers. The Met helmet from Planet-X looks like it might be a good choice I know that goes against the "plain" requirement, but apparently the wife now has a say in the choice, and I think she'd probably go for one of these (and I'm not too offended by them )0

You need to be careful when buying helmets from the super cheap online retailers, Madison had huge problems with them selling grey import Giro helmets that were not CE marked.0
