5 Reasons Helmet Fit Matters More Than Certification

A poorly fitting helmet offers no real protection Even if a helmet is certified on paper, it won’t protect your child in a crash if it doesn’t fit correctly. It becomes just an expensive hat.

Buy in person or order two sizes Bring your child to try on helmets in person, or order two sizes and return the one that doesn’t fit. Guessing sizes online rarely works.

A helmet that sits too high or pinches will be abandoned Kids will take off an uncomfortable helmet the second you look away. A helmet that hurts or feels wrong ends up in the bushes.

You will waste time researching replacements If the helmet gets tossed aside, you will end up reading about MIPS technology late at night while your child dreams about a different helmet she will never wear.

Fit is the only thing that keeps a helmet on No amount of safety features matters if the helmet is not worn. A comfortable, snug fit is what actually keeps it on your child’s head.
