Meggy II - Bicycle helmets for children

As soon as a child rides their own bike or balance bike, a well fitting kids bicycle helmet should be part of the kit. With a child seat or trailer, the maker's notes on seating position and available space also matter. What is decisive is not only age but above all the right size.

Look for a stable, pressure free fit, easy size adjustment and features that suit the child's daily life. A rear light, reflectors or insect protection depend on the model. The product details show what each KED kids helmet actually offers.

No. A rear light, a rotational impact protection system and other functions are present only on models marked accordingly. Such a system can reduce rotational movements in certain angled impact scenarios; it replaces neither the right size nor a correct fit.

A thick hat can change the fit and position of the helmet. If extra warmth is needed it should be thin, and the helmet must still sit centrally, firmly and without pressure points. Check the fit every time the headwear changes.

A well fitting kids bicycle helmet can be suitable for various riding activities if the manufacturer does not restrict the use. Check the product details, the fit before every ride and the rules for the vehicle in question.

Measure the head circumference at the widest point of the head, about two fingers above the eyebrows. Compare the measurement with the model's size range. The kids bicycle helmet should sit centrally, firmly and free of pressure, and must not shift with the strap closed.

Clean the shell, straps and padding according to the model's care instructions. As a rule, lukewarm water, mild soap and a soft cloth are enough. Avoid aggressive cleaners, solvents and strong heat.

If the helmet has taken an impact in a crash, it should not be used any further. Damage to the material structure is not always visible. Also follow the notes in the user manual.
