How to measure for a children’s bike helmet?

If you’re not sure what size children’s helmet your little one needs, never fear – measuring for a helmet is very easy and only takes a few minutes. Use a soft tape measure (like a dressmaker measuring tape) and measure the circumference of your child’s head (do this around the eyebrows as this is typically the thickest part of their head). All our helmets come in a centimetre range so you will be sure to find a kids helmet that will suit your child’s size.

How should children wear a helmet?

Children should always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. They should be fitted with a full face shield and be able to see clearly.

What type of helmet is safest for kids?

Any type of helmet is safe for kids to wear. But, we recommend using a helmet with a chin strap, as it provides the most secure fit and keeps the helmet from slipping off. Also, avoid helmets with visors, as they increase the risk of accidents, especially if your kids have glasses.

Which are better, hard-shell or soft-shell helmets?

While both are great, soft-shell helmets are more flexible and offer a superior fit. Hard-shell helmets are usually more durable and come with better ventilation, but they can be difficult to fit and don’t allow for as much flexibility.

KIDS HELMETS

Toddler & Youth Helmets

The Nutcase Little Nutty Helmets have been at the forefront of safety and comfort for toddlers for the past three years. The latest version of the cycling helmet has been upgraded with MIPS technology, providing even better head protection. It also features a toddler-specific EPS protective foam that not only safeguards the head but also provides posture and head support. These helmets fit securely on the head while remaining incredibly comfortable, and the addition of a magnetic buckle ensures that toddlers won’t accidentally pinch their chin.
