How are mermaids meant to see where they are going? (Was recently talking to small kid and "mermaid" and "bike helmet" was mentioned in same second, which made me think ......)

How are mermaids meant to see where they are going?
Drawing of mermaid, showing that with their head in a straight line with their body they are looking down but moving forwards - so they are looking at a 90 degree angle to the direction they move.
Drawing of mermaid swimming straight into ships anchor, "BONK"
Drawing of mermaid rubbing head and saying "Ow ... Not again ... Never see this in the little mermaid, do you ..."

Are they just meant to get a really sore neck?
Drawing of mermaid with head tilted right back so they can see in the direction they are going, saying "Ow Ow Ow"
Or bewitch a passing sailor?
Drawing of a sailor handing over a bike helmet saying "My love, I have brought you what your heart apparently truly desires, are you sure about this? ... A quest to the bike shop wasn't quite what I was expecting ..."
The mermaid takes it, saying "Yes!!!"
Finally drawing of a centaur holding a pair of trousers and saying "Well no-one can agree how I'm allowed to wear trousers but at least I can see where I'm going."
