Fitting a Helmet
Here are some guidelines to getting the best fit for a bike helmet. - Eyes: The rim of the helmet should be up to 1 to 2 finger widths above the eyebrows
- Ears: The straps should form a V under just beneath the ear lobe
- Mouth: When the rider opens her mouth, the buckle should feel snug on the chin and the helmet should hug the head
Before using the helmet, stand in front of the mirror and grab the helmet with both hands and twist it to the left and to the right. If the helmet fits right, the skin on the forehead will move as the helmet moves. If it does not, then the helmet is too loose and is unsafe for use and you need to start over.About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

Ideal for Infant Rider, September 10, 2010
By M. Noble

We have a front-mounted bicycle seat. This is an absolutely wonderful way to tote your kid, but as with all biking, it has its dangers and it was critical that my 10-month old child have a proper helmet. With all the folks out there riding around with their little kids attached, I thought it would be easy to find not only a proper-fitting helmet, but also one that didn't have some obnoxiously gendered color scheme or commercial characters plastered all over it. Hey, if I'm buying a helmet for a child that will soon outgrow it, then I want it to be acceptable for the next little kid who comes along!
Well, crickey! It is not alway easy to identify the helmets sized for 1-year old toddlers as opposed to the 4-year old ""toddlers"". And it's downright difficult to find a helmet that isn't screaming hot pink butterfly princesses or whatever cartoon Disney/Pixar/McDonald's is trying to market to kids right now.
We finally settled on this yellow duckies Giro Me2 and couldn't be happier. This helmet fits the bill and, best of all, my child's head. It is about as solidly constructed as your average adult helmet, big but not bulky. The straps are adjusted easily after unsnapping a clasp, and retain their sizing after your re-snap the clasps. The head circumference is adjustable (48 to 52 cm) with a little snapping dial at the back of the head, which means it'll grow with your child. And, happily, it comes in several friendly and timeless color patterns so you can feel good passing it on to the next kid, whether boy or girl or other. Score!

Buying another for my youngest!, August 31, 2010
By ch718

We have the red goose one for my son who is almost 3. We (and he) LOVE it. Easy to use, not too hot & very safe. It was highly recommended by one of the bike pros here locally when we were shopping for one. I looked online and found a local bike pro shop that carried them. I wanted to see it in person.
Love it, love it, love it. My daughter just turned 1 and she's getting one as part of her birthday gift.
One reviewer said it was held together with velcro?!?!?! The chin straps run up through the helmet itself. It is not held together with velcro. The only thing on ours that is attached with velcro is the adjustable head band part. That uses velcro to attach to the padding. But the chin straps run through all of it, up behind the padding and all....and those are what hold the helmet to the baby's head. So I don't know what she was talking about.....
By the way, helmets for infants are hard to find for a reason....In the US, it's not recommended to take a baby under 1 year old on a bike or in a bike trailer. Yes, this is a light helmet, but kid's necks are not made to support the additional weight of a helmet when they are little babies. The head is hard enough to support when you consider its size in proportion to the rest of the baby's body at this age. I can't remember all the sources I found saying this, but if you look it up, you'll find lots. I sure did when researching helmets for my son when he was an infant. I read a review here saying a 6 month old screamed the whole time while wearing the helmet...maybe the poor baby's neck hurt since that's awful young to be wearing something like this on it's head.
Anyway, this is a great helmet for kids. It has grown with my son thanks to the adjustable head band. It's had a lot of use from my very active boy and is still in great shape. I'd pass it on to my daughter, but my son is still using it! So, she gets the pink bunnies. :-) I recommend it to my friends.

great helmet for infant, July 22, 2010
By H. Daube (VA)

This was one of the only helmets I could find to fit my little guys head. He had a ""below average"" sized head so we needed something that would fit him when we went on bike rides. He wasn't fond of it at first but now that he is two, he keeps it on his head and it fits perfect.

Great infant/toddler helmet, September 25, 2010
By E. Kerkow
|

I LOVE this helmet. My son started wearing it when he was slightly less than 1 year. The adjustable dial at the back of the harness makes it very easy to get a good fit. He is now 2 1/2 years and it looks like he will be wearing the helmet for at least another year to come. The straps do take some time to adjust the first time this is done, but one this is done once it won't need to be done again, or at least for a long time. My son wasn't too crazy about wearing the helmet at first, but that's not the helmet's fault. After reinforcing helmet use and wearing my own helmet when we bike, he learned that wearing a helmet is necessary and now wears his happily. I'm looking forward to buying the new blue design for my second infant son.

Best fit bike helmet for infants, September 23, 2010
By iristheevil
|

We did a lot of research and decided to purchase this helmet with a new bike seat for my 7 month old daughter. The helmet fits her perfectly, stays positioned above her eyes and was very easy to adjust the straps. We have gone on several bike rides and my baby loves it. It is true that it is a little more expensive than some competitive helmets, but I think the fit and the ease of adjusting make it well worth the price.

We puchased this helmet for our 11 month old daughter. We were worried that it might not fit because she is kinda small. The helmet was easy to adjust and fit her perfect.
