Bicycle Helmet for a child, how do we fit the helmet?
Ok my daughter is 4 years old and we are having a hard time with her bike helmet. It is a “toddler” size helmet but my daughter is a bit big for her age (same size as the average 5 ½ year old). I know that helmets are supposed to fit “snugly” but we are having a hard time getting the dumb thing to go on her head all the way! She is also having issues with the chinstrap; I know that is supposed to be snug as well but it cuts across her neck at a funny place and it irritates her skin because she has eczema. The real problem is this: I have only been able to find toddler sizes and adult sizes… aren’t there sizes for children? Also what is the best way to keep the chinstrap from irritating her skin? Is there a way to figure out what her helmet “size” would be?
Any advice would be great! Thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
measure around her head where the helmet will sit. this should be about 50cm ish.
go to a good cycle shop and try a few on. they should help you with the fitting. there are child sizes.
when you are fitting the helmet at home, make sure that the straps make a triangle around her ears.
when you fasten the chin strap, there should be room to fit one of your fingers (or 2 of hers) between the strap and her chin
