Lucas’ story
Aida, Lucas’ mother, says: “Our son Lucas has been wearing Talee helmet for over two months and so far the experience has been great! He adjusted to this helmet very quickly due to it being very lightweight and breathable compared to other brands on the market we initially considered. We are very lucky that Talee helmets are now available in the Netherlands. Not only it helped to improve our son’s head shape but he keeps on getting compliments everywhere we go because this helmet looks so cool and stylish. The team is super friendly and very professional in what they do. Lucas loves to see Juul and Wendy every time we have a checkup. We would definitely recommend this helmet to every parent who is about to start a helmet journey with their child.”

"There was no other option but to look for a counterbalance to the pain. And that’s a long process you go through. Because how do you learn to deal with such a setback? I started focusing on what I could still do, what was physically possible, what I could still enjoy. That’s how the strength to keep going was born. During that period, I learned to drive with my left leg. I’m very proud of that and happy about it!"
