Safety Check

Ensuring your child's bike helmet fits properly is essential for their safety and comfort. Here's a concise guide to help you achieve the perfect fit:

1. Measure Your Child's Head

• Use a soft tape measure to determine the circumference of your child's head, positioning it about an inch above the eyebrows or at the thickest part. ​

• Compare this measurement to the size range specified by the helmet manufacturer to ensure compatibility.​

2. Position the Helmet Correctly

• Place the helmet squarely on your child's head, ensuring it sits level and covers the forehead.​

• The front edge of the helmet should rest about two finger-widths above the eyebrows.​

3. Adjust for a Snug Fit

• Tighten the helmet's rear dial-adjust knob (if available) to secure the helmet comfortably on the head.​

• Without buckling the chin strap, have your child shake their head; the helmet should remain securely in place.​

4. Configure the Side Straps

• Adjust the side straps to form a "V" shape beneath each ear.​

• Ensure the sliders are positioned just below the earlobes to maintain helmet stability.​

5. Buckle and Tighten the Chin Strap

• Fasten the chin strap securely, allowing only one finger to fit between the strap and the chin.​

• Confirm that the helmet remains stable and does not shift when your child moves their head.​

By following these steps, you can ensure your child's helmet offers optimal protection, allowing them to enjoy their biking adventures safely.
