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

The size of a child's helmet is determined by the child's head circumference. To measure this, you need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string, which you can then measure against a ruler after determining the circumference. Place the measuring tape or string around the head at temple level, and you have determined your child's head circumference.

Kids' helmet – Areas of use

A kids' helmet should always be worn whenever there is a risk of falling or collision. A helmet and other protective equipment, such as knee and elbow pads, are recommended when using a scooter, kids' bicycle, BMX, skateboard, hoverboard, or even on a trampoline.

Tip: If you want your children to protect themselves with a helmet, it is advantageous for parents and other adults in their immediate environment to also wear a helmet during these activities. This teaches children that a helmet is simply part of the equipment for these activities.

Kids' helmet for balance bikes

The balance bike, along with the tricycle, is one of the first wheeled vehicles a child can ride. Even though speeds are low and the risk of falling is rather small, children's heads should always be protected by a high-quality helmet while on a balance bike. Especially during initial attempts, head protection is indispensable to prevent unwanted injuries.

Kids' helmet for scooters

The balance bike is usually followed by a kids' scooter, which requires a good deal more coordination from the rider. It goes without saying that smart kids' heads should be protected when riding a scooter. A kids' bike helmet is also perfectly suited for scooter riding, offering high safety and great comfort.

Kids' helmets for cycling

A kids' bike helmet is the perfect choice for safely cruising around the neighborhood on a bike. Various manufacturers offer safe kids' helmets in the design of your choice. Bike helmets are lightweight, can often be variably adjusted to the head circumference, and offer high comfort thanks to good ventilation. In our range, you will find many bike helmets in particularly cool designs. Even if this aspect is not fundamentally relevant to safety, it is still crucial. Because even children only like wearing a helmet if they actually like the look of it. Therefore, protective gear in trendy colors that carries a test seal is the best choice for children and adults. A kids' bike helmet is a loyal companion and offers safe protection against head injuries for many years during various activities. With an adjustment system at the back, the fit of the bike helmet can be conveniently and individually adapted to the child's head size.

Bike helmet / Kids' helmet in various colors

In common parlance, children's helmets are often generally referred to as bike helmets. This is basically a misleading term, as a modern helmet can be used for more than just cycling. They are just as suitable for other sports such as skateboarding and scootering. Today, helmets are cool accessories that are gladly worn by children and adults thanks to trendy colors and cool designs. A bike helmet is therefore much more than just head protection. It offers protection against the cold and adverse weather conditions, protects the head in accidents and collisions, and last but not least, looks cool. The advantages of a bike helmet outweigh the drawbacks, and wearing one has now become standard in Switzerland as well. Lead by example and protect your own head with a cool, colorful bike helmet. Your child will follow suit!

Buying a kids' helmet - what you should consider

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

• Choose a model that your child likes, as they will only enjoy wearing the helmet if they do
• Choose a safe model with high wearing comfort. We recommend buying a lightweight hard-shell helmet with ventilation slots
• Choose a kids' helmet in the right size. Measure your child's head circumference and then select the appropriate 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 connection with other road users. This will lay an important foundation for accident prevention

Bike helmets also protect against UV radiation

In addition to their protective effect during falls and accidents, kids' helmets also protect against harmful UV radiation from the sun. Children often move outdoors and are thus frequently exposed to sunlight. Wearing a helmet also incidentally protects the child from unwanted UV radiation. Another argument in favor of wearing a helmet regularly.
