Thank you for counting my money, but simple cost benefit analysis dictates that if 10% makes me feel better, then it's 10 bucks well spent, even if I am delusional.
1) There is no risk compensation in a three year old. That's just not how kids think. In adults, yes, I'll take that point. On top of that, he rides with me, so I am fully able to prevent "risk compensation".
2) That's a contrived argument if I ever heard one. It might be true with an average adult, but certainly not with my child. He actually likes his helmet, and sometimes goes riding just so he can wear it :)
"Rational" is such a stretchy term. Cost benefit analysis is different for everyone. There are plenty of people that think that seat belts aren't worth it, after such analysis, does it mean that's a rational decision?
