How do I find the correct helmet size for my child?

The size of a child's helmet is determined by the circumference of the child's head. To measure this, you need a flexible tape measure or a piece of string, which you then transfer to a double-meter tape measure, for example, after determining the circumference of the head. Attach the tape measure or string to the head at temple height and you have determined your child's head circumference.

Buying a children's helmet - what you should consider

When buying a children's helmet, we recommend that you pay attention to the following points:

• Choose a model that your child likes, only then will he or she enjoy wearing the helmet
• Choose a safe model that is comfortable to wear. We recommend buying a lightweight hard shell helmet with ventilation slots
• Choose a child's helmet in the right size. Measure your child's head circumference and then choose the right size
• Make sure your child wears the helmet correctly. This includes fastening the helmet with the chin strap.
• Accident prevention is even more important than protective equipment. Make your child aware of dangerous situations, especially in relation to other road users. This will lay an important foundation for accident prevention.

Bicycle helmets also protect against UV radiation

In addition to protecting against falls and accidents, children's helmets also protect against harmful UV rays from the sun . Children often spend time outdoors and are therefore often exposed to sunlight. If they wear a helmet, the child is also protected from unwanted UV rays.
