Is a helmet compulsory for kids?

In India, children above the age of 4 should wear a small helmet on the bike. Wearing a kids’ helmet can significantly reduce head injury risk and promote responsible riding habits from an early age.

How to buy a helmet for a child?

To buy the right helmet for your child, start by measuring their head to determine the correct size. Since they come in different sizes, choose a helmet one that fits snugly without being too tight. Always check that the small helmet meets safety standards, such as ISI certification.

What makes a bike helmet safe for children compared to regular helmets?

A small helmet for kids is designed to provide extra protection, with a more snug fit and softer inner padding. This ensures your child is comfortable and safe during the ride. Unlike your regular helmets, kids' helmets have a design that ensures a better fit, along with various features like adjustable straps and secure buckles, to keep the helmet in place during a fall or collision.

How do I clean and maintain a kids helmet?

Cleaning the small helmet for kids is just like cleaning a regular helmet. All you need to do is use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to wipe down the outside of the helmet. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could potentially damage the helmet’s surface. Remove the removable padding inside and wash it with warm water and mild detergent. Air-dry the padding and helmet separately before reassembling.

What are the signs that a kids’ helmet no longer fits my child?

If your child experiences discomfort while wearing the helmet, check if the padding feels tight or overly snug. If you notice that the small helmet’s straps cannot be adjusted to fit snugly or the helmet no longer covers the entire head without gaps, it’s a sign the fit is off.
