Safety first with the right helmet for your child
Which helmet size does my child need?
Holding a tape measure about 1 cm above your child's eyebrows and ears, measure all the way around their head. Check the positioning of the tape measure to make sure you're measuring the widest part of the head.
Size guide:
- 46–50 cm: size XS
- 50–53 cm: size S
- 53–57 cm: size M
Is your child between two sizes?
If your child's head measures exactly 50 or 53 cm, we recommend that you go for the bigger helmet size. For measurements of 49.9 or 52.9 cm, it's usually best to order the smaller size.

1. Loosen off the adjustment system
If the helmet is too tight, turn the size-adjustment dial to loosen off the adjustment system on the inside.
2. Put the helmet on your child's head
Place the helmet on your child's head so it's perfectly level. It shouldn't be pulled too far back or fall too far forward. The front edge should sit around 2 cm above your child's eyebrows.
3. Use the adjustment system
Turn the size-adjustment dial on the back of the helmet to tighten the ring on the inside until you're happy that the helmet is sitting nice and snugly. It shouldn't slide about when your child gently shakes their head.
4. Fasten and adjust the chin strap
Fasten and adjust the chin strap so that it sits snugly but comfortably without digging in. You should be able to slide a finger between the strap and your child's chin.
Handy hint
You might find there's space to fit up to two fingers between your child's head and the side of the outer shell due to the oval shape of the adjustment system. This just means your child's head has plenty of room to grow.
