Yeah, spending a little time looking at what is generally recommended, the easy rule of thumb is not before age one... because you definitely want them to be able to support their own weight while sitting, and you want their neck to be strong enough to support the weight of their head plus the weight of the helmet. I've read that you also don't want to ride with a sleeping child because if you go over a large bump while their neck is limp, their head bouncing around could cause injury.
