Cyclists everywhere leave the house every morning wondering how they can get to work with that perfect Playmobil hair intact. Some Scandinavian designers have been working on it, sort of.

Simon Higby and Clara Knock, from DDB Stockholm and Copenhagen, respectively, partnered with Danish company Moef on a bike helmet kids would be excited to wear. The prototype is inspired by the Playmobil mop top, and is sure to resonate beyond the under-12 demographic.
