How do I determine if a helmet fits 

properly for my child?

 

Answer: Ensuring that your child’s helmet fits properly is essential for their safety. Safety should always come first, and we often say, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Being at the cutting edge of laser technology and able to see helmet defects 100,000 times better than the naked eye, allows us to see the invisible defects that compromise your helmet’s effectiveness to do its job in the next accident. 

At The Helmet Doctors emphasize the importance of having your child’s helmet laser scanned for optimal protection for this reason. Would you want to know if your child was using a defective helmet?

 

However, this is only one part of the equation. Having a properly fitted helmet is just as important. 

To determine if a helmet fits your child properly, follow these guidelines:

 

  1. Size: Choose a helmet that fits snugly and comfortably on your child’s head. Measure their head circumference and refer to the manufacturer’s sizing chart to select the appropriate size. However, we strongly recommend you have the helmet fitted by a professional who does this every day at your local motorcycle store. These professionals are constantly trained and updated by helmet manufacturers on what is best when it comes to your safety and fitting your head into the right helmet for you.
  2. Position: The helmet should sit level on your child’s head, covering the forehead and not tilted back or forward. This is important to ensure your child has the best visibility during their sporting activities.
  3. Straps: Adjust the straps so they are fitted correctly under the ears, with the chin strap snugly fastened. The straps should be adjusted to prevent the helmet from moving or sliding during activities. It is recommended not to make this too tight but firm. Again if you are unsure of these requirements we always recommend to seek trained professional advice at your local motorcycle store.

 

 

By following these guidelines you are ensuring your child with a properly fitted helmet, and you’re maximizing the helmet’s effectiveness in protecting your child. We say, “It’s a No Brainer” to prioritize their safety with a well-fitted helmet, and by adding your child’s helmet to having it laser scanned on a regular basis with The Helmet Doctors, you are providing an unparalleled level of protection and a level of peace of mind you deserve.

 

Be Smart, Be Safe, and Scan Your Helmet.
