A great helmet for our 21 month old!! September 14, 2006

I don't agree with the other 2 reviews on Amazon about this helmet. It has worked out great for our 21 month old son. And it was the top rated toddler helmet of one consumer magazine.
It is sized to fit toddlers sizes 47 to 50 cm head diameter. (This is equivalent to about 18.5 to 19.7 inches.) So I would suggest that people measure your child's head prior to purchase. Also, the owner's manual is available on the Bell website if you want to read about fit prior to purchase.
I can see why some may think the helmet does not fit. The first time you put a helmet on a child who has never worn a helmet before is tough. He is scared and you are nervous, so it is stressful. There are 2 different comfort pad thicknesses that come with the helmet. We found that taking all of these out allowed us to quickly get it on and off the child's head to adjust the chin straps. Once the chin straps were adjusted, then we put the thinnest set of pads back in tested the fit on the child's head. Then you can move to the thicker pads if needed.
Once our son figured out that putting on helmet = fun bike ride, we haven't had a problem getting it on him.
Yes, we have pinched his chin once with the chin strap buckle, but I don't think you will find a helmet that doesn't have this possibility.
The only negative we can see with this helmet is that it does protrude slightly in the back. If you had a very straight backed child carrier, this may pose a problem. We have a Topeak babysitter child carrier and it works just fine. If you do have a very straight carrier, then another helmet to consider is the Giro Me2 helmet which does not protrude in the back and also received good ratings.

My son loves this helmet. he puts it on when he wants to even if we are not going for a ride in the bike trailer. I think it is very cute. I like it.
Helmet for infant/toddler January 6, 2009
D. Fink (Alburtis PA USA)
A very nice looking helmet. It fits my Grandson perfectly. It's a sturdy product. I'm so glad I purchased it. My only complaint was the price. I could get a toddlers helmet for $20 to max $25.
Excellent product February 16, 2007
