What is a kids' helmet and why is it important?

A kids' helmet is specially designed to protect children's heads while cycling, scootering, or rollerblading. Since children's heads are more sensitive, a good helmet is essential to prevent injury in case of a fall. Additionally, a fun, well-fitting helmet contributes to a positive feeling about safety and cycling. This also applies when your child is not yet riding a kids' bike but wears a helmet while riding in a child seat.

What types of kids' helmets are there?

There are different types of kids' helmets, depending on age, use, and design:

• Bike helmets for young children (2-5 years) – Lightweight, with extra protection around the back of the head.
• Helmets for older children (6-12 years) – Sportier models with more ventilation.
• Multifunctional helmets – Suitable for cycling, rollerblading, and scootering.
• Kids' helmets with visor or integrated light – Extra safety and visibility.

They are available in various sizes, colors, and with popular prints or themes.

What to consider when buying a kids' helmet?

When purchasing a kids' helmet, there are several important points:

• Size and fit: Measure your child's head circumference and choose the right size.
• Closure and adjustment options: A good helmet is easy to adjust and fits snugly without pinching.
• Ventilation: Helmets with ventilation openings provide extra comfort while wearing.
• Weight: Choose a lightweight helmet, especially for younger children.
• Safety certification: Check if the helmet meets European safety standards (CE mark).

Tip: Let your child help decide on the color or design – this makes wearing a helmet much more fun!

Children can wear a helmet from around 1 year old, as soon as they can sit independently and are transported in a bike seat.

On average, 3 to 5 years, or shorter if there is a fall or visible damage. Regularly check for cracks or loose parts.

Is a kids' helmet mandatory?
