Schwinn Pulsar Micro Bicycle Helmet (Toddler) Review

Schwinn Pulsar Micro Bicycle Helmet (Toddler)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We ordered this helmet in hopes of it fitting our 13 month old son as it was labeled for a toddler. We actually received a female version of the helmet and had to return it and then went and bought the boy version at a local store. The helmet is actually labelled for toddler but on the helmet states for 3 and up-not what I consider toddler anymore. The helmet is really not adjustable to fit our son's head well-not safe therefore. I am ordering a "deluxe toddler" helmet at our local hospital in which there is actually a strap to adjust the helmet to fit our son's head. This particular helmet originally ordered from Amazon does not have this same strap to adjust well. Be aware if you are trying to use this for your child under 3!

Toy Story Child Pacific Disney Tinkerbell Helmet and Pads Review

i searched toddler helmets and this came up. the description does not specify age, so i figured it was a toddler sized helmet since... well.. that's what i searched for! i opened the box and the package said for ages "5+". considering my daughter isn't even 2 yet- this is obviously not even close. this is not a toddler helmet at all. it would be huge on her. there are straps inside that adjust but the shell is just too big. it would look ridiculous on her. i am returning this. amazon, please make sure you have better descriptions!!!
if your daughter is older i am sure she will love this, however. it is very cute.

Giro Rodeo Youth Bike Helmet Review

Giro Rodeo Youth Bike Helmet

I was looking for a high quality bicycle helmet that my 2 year old daughter would actuallly want to wear. She loves this bicycle helmet! She loves the way it looks, and loves to wear it when she rides her bicycle. The adjustable dial makes it easy to get a comfortable fit, and also provides room to grow, so she can wear the helmet a couple of years before she outgrows it. Would highly recommend.

The Giro Rodeo Youth Bike Helmet has a microshell with built-in bug net over the six air vents. It's adjustable Acu Dial fit system has a buckle under the chin that won't pinch the skin. The sleek-shaped, colorful shell has a built-in visor and is a universal youth, fitting heads from 19.75 to 20.75 inches (50 to 55 centimeters).

Helmet Tips--You Should Always...
Wear a helmet when you ride
Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead
Fasten your buckle and tighten your chin strap
Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
Wear a helmet designed for your activity

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.

Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet Review

Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet

I bought this helmet because it was the only infant helmet available locally at the time. However, although the price is a bit steep, when you take your childs safety into account, it's worth it. At first I had a bit of a problem figuring out how to fit it to a squirming toddler. But once I did figure it out, it's easy to adjust. I have now had it over a year, and it still going great. Deedee still loves her pink bunnies. It hasn't gotten used at much as I would have liked, but I'm glad that it's growing with her so we don't have to buy another one for her yet. I like that there are several cute designs to choose from. I have heard that it's better to have a smooth rounded back vs. a back that protrudes, however I can't say that I've noticed a difference. Both of my boys have Bell helmets that do protrude in the back, and they have never complained about it when riding in the trailer or in on of the infant seats. Although this is marketed as pinch free, expect that you will pinch your child once in a while. Especially if the chin strap is too tight. Still, it happens much less often than one the older style clips. Another eason I would reccomend this over a Bell is because of the dial in the back that tighten's/loosen's the strap to the perfect fit of the head without having adjust the chin strap. A child's Bell helmet doesn't have this feature.

Make sure your kids have a fun and safe ride with the Giro Me2 bike helmet for infants and toddlers. In addition to several colorfully fanciful designs--including yellow chicks, aviator pigs, pink bunnies, and red duck and goose--the helmet features 20 vents (protected with a built-in bug net) to help to keep your child's head cool. It also features Giro's Mini-Loc fit system with simple strap guides that enable your kid to put on the helmet without pinching skin. There's soft padding inside that feels great and a built-in visor for a bit of shade. This helmet is adjustable, enabling it to grow with your child. It's sized for infants and toddlers with heads measuring 18.75 to 20.5 inches in diameter.

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.

Schwinn Toddler's Carnival Helmet Review

Hands down, the adjustable band in the back of the helmet is the best feature I've ever seen on a child's helmet. There is a very easy to use turn-knob, which adjusts the band around the back of the head, so you can initially put the helmet on loose, then tighten it down to the point that your child can't remove it. It makes it very easy to put on your child, as it's hard to keep a toddler sitting still while you adjust straps, and somewhat difficult to put a properly adjusted helmet on your child due to how snug it needs to be.
