Collection: Protective equipment

The right protective gear keeps a child safe while cycling, riding a scooter, skating, and learning balance. When choosing a helmet and pads, consider the following:

• Head circumference: measure it with a tape measure just above the eyebrows and choose a helmet within the recommended size range.
• Adjustability: helmets with an adjustable ring at the back allow for a precise fit and longer use.
• Chin strap: it should be fastened firmly yet comfortably, leaving about one finger's width of space between the chin and the strap.
• Ventilation: air vents add comfort during longer rides or in warmer months.
• Elbow and knee pads: they should fit snugly without slipping, while not restricting movement when walking, running, or riding.
• Replacement after a fall: a helmet that has been exposed to a strong impact should be replaced, even if there is no visible damage.
