You're the parent, but I think as a society we're going way too far 
with that kind of stuff.  Think of all the stuff I, and probably 
you, were allowed to do:  3 wheelers (including more than a few 
models designed specifically for kids 5-12 years old,) riding in the 
back of a pickup, some of us didn't even have child seats, and no 
one wore a stupid bicycle helmet.  Now they're even cancelling 
school sports in some places due to safety concerns.  I always 
thought the space between the seats, with some mods made, could be a 
good place for a secured child seat...
