By Bike Helmet , many serious injuries can be avoided. - provided the helmet fits correctly and is set correctly. Helmets that are too large or not dressed can slip and no longer sit in the right place in the event of a fall.

Bike Helmet sizes for children - from 45cm

The Bike Helmet for children and babies usually has a different cut than for the adults. Since the children's heads are still growing, the right fit is even more important! Under no circumstances may a larger helmet be bought with the thought that the child grows pure. Children grow very slowly in the head circumference and if the helmet does not fit properly in an accident, leave it out. Therefore, it is recommended to measure twice and buy the correct children's bike helmet. With most manufacturers there are enough possibilities to adjust the size, which makes it easier to find a suitable helmet.

The optimal size is also determined here by the head circumference. In children, measuring the head can be difficult, so we recommend: measure the circumference several times, and then choose the mean.

Bicycle helmets for children often have a different shape so that they can also wear the helmet in the bicycle seat or in the trailer. For this application, the helmets at the back are slightly flattened and offer better wearing comfort. In addition, the back of the head is even better protected by this shape.

How does the bicycle helmet fit ideally?

Pay attention to the following points

• The leading edge of the helmet should finish 1-2cm above the eyebrows.
• The helmet must not sit crooked and should not be able to slip into the neck.
• The helmet must be tightened in such a way that the scalp moves with the helmet but no pressure points form. Only pads in the helmet may touch the head.
• The helmet must not twist on the head.
• The webbings must converge in a beautiful triangle, one finger wide under the ear.
• The strap should lie with the closure under the chin but must not press against the throat. Put on the strap until the helmet can no longer slip. One to two fingers wide should still be between the closure and the chin.
• The helmet should fit so well that it does not fall off the head with an open closure when you front and shake it. Keep your hands ready to catch the helmet in case it falls.

Tip: Yawning should be possible unhindered – but the strap on the helmet must not be able to be pulled up to the mouth.
