I got this helmet & pads set for my 8-year old daughter when she roller blades. She loves the way they look and the hot pink color. I like the protection they provide when she takes a tumble. I looked at many sets of helmet & elbow/knee pads before I bought anything and I think these are one of the best around. I am very satisfied with them and my daughter doesn't give me a hard time about wearing them.

Giro Ionos Road Bike Helmet Review

Giro Ionos Road Bike Helmet

This is an excellent helmet and it works too. I gave it a crash test last month when I was hit by a car (I was doing 25 mph) and hit my head hard on the asphalt. The helmet didn't break or crack and I didn't suffer any type of head injuries. I was so impressed, I replaced it with the same model. The fit is great and I wore it on a 200 mile one day ride without any discomfort. It isn't a cheap helmet, but what kind of price do you put on your life?
The Garmin color isn't bad either.

The Ionos is the most technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. The Ionos is built around a proprietary in-mold composite sub-frame (ICS) that provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a bike helmet. These massive vents, coupled with an intricate network of internal channels, creates a cooling system dubbed Wind Tunnel ventilation, making Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet on the market. The helmet is perfect for keeping Grand Tour champions like Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador cool on the hottest days and over the most tortuous Alpine climbs.
Ionos Technologies The Ionos helmet employs some of the most advanced technologies that Giro has ever used in a bike helmet. The Ionos' in-mold construction, for example, fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. This culminates in the helmet's proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. By definition, a channel is a route through which anything passes or progresses. In the case of Giro helmets, the internal channels are carefully crafted and are one of the keys to a well-ventilated helmet. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will feel immediately.
The secret behind the vent technology is the in-mold composite subframe, which lets Giro offer huge vents without compromising protection. The Ionos features a visible weave of carbon reinforcement that runs through the helmet's liner and around the vents. By using these advanced materials, the sub-frame can be tuned to provide incredible structural support, impact dispersion, and resistance to penetration.
Padding and Fit The Ionos offers X-Static helmet padding, which is entwined with an environmentally friendly silver-coated fabric called Silver Fiber. Found exclusively in Ionos helmets, the fabric provides anti-microbial and thermodynamic benefits, so in addition to keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, your helmet will stay fresh all year round. Finally, the Ionos helmet is engineered using Super Fit technology, making it so comfortable that it virtually disappears when you put it on. The proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and nearly 20 years of crafting helmets for the best riders in the world. The result is a helmet that fits 98 percent of the world's population, yet looks and feels like it was made just for you.

Spider-Man 28-Inch Skateboard, Helmet, and Protective Pad Combo Pack (Colors May Vary) Review

Spider-Man 28-Inch Skateboard, Helmet, and Protective Pad Combo Pack (Colors May Vary)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After 6 months of my 5 year old son asking for a skateboard, my husband and I decided to get him one for his 6th birthday. Instead of just a skateboard, this combo set came with the helmet, elbow pads, hand/wrist pads and knee pads. He put on all of the gear and off he went. He loves it. He said on his birthday, "This is the BEST present ever!" Even my 19 year old son was very impressed at the quality of not only the skateboard, but of the helmet and pads. Skateboarding might be a little dangerous, but at least the protective gear will keep him safer. And we could NOT beat the price. Had we bought the skateboard and protective gear separately, it probably would have cost 3 or 4 times the price. I was very happy we made the purchase through Amazon. A few other vendors wanted [...]more for the same thing.

Giro Xen Bike Helmet Review

Giro Xen Bike Helmet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This helmet is awesome! Fit is excellent if you pre-measure your head or try one on at the dealer. Nice style, coverage, and very good air-flow. I took a HUGE spill off my bike this past weekend.....a sweet superman over the bars and the first thing to hit the rocks was this helmet. I put a nice dent in the outside, cracked the helmet all the way through, but I got up and walked away with not even a headache. The helmet is finished, but my head is totally intact so I can ride another day. It did exactly what it was designed to do. Plus, if you break your helmet under normal use, Giro will kick you down 30% off of a new one. Not a bad deal when it saves your head!

By combining the low-profile style and coverage of skate-style helmets with the lighter weight and ventilation of high-performance XC helmets, the Giro Xen Mountain Bike Helmetis built for all-mountain riding. This mountain-bike helmet is constructed with Giro's Hardbody in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Xen utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability.
This Giro helmet features wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 17 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out. Giro's Xen helmet also features a P.O.V. (Point Of View) adjustable visor that is anchored by a patented internal clutch, which allows 15-degrees of vertical adjustment and prevents the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough terrain.
The Xen mountain helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Xen helmet is a lightweight 310 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.
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.

Toy Story Child Pacific Disney Tinkerbell Helmet and Pads Review

Toy Story Child Pacific Disney Tinkerbell Helmet and Pads
Average Reviews:

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.

Disney Princess Hardshell Bicycle Helmet and Protective Pad Value Pack (Child) Review

Disney Princess Hardshell Bicycle Helmet and Protective Pad Value Pack (Child)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this helmet for my nearly 5 year old daughter a few days ago, as she had outgrown her toddler helmet. She picked this one out of all the princess designs they had (and they had a few).
The helmet is made of a plastic shell surrounding a 7/8" densely packed wall of Styrofoam. It is not typical packing material type Styrofoam which we can break off and peel into little balls of plastic. It is packed rock solid and would be uncomfortable if not for the fact that there are strips of a softer foam inside to cushion the child's head. The foam strips are secured by dots of Velcro hooks, so that they can be repositioned if necessary. There are no adjustments to be made for head size. If you need a helmet that has those adjustments, look elsewhere.
The straps are made of soft nylon. They are easily adjustable. They fit comfortably and are not stiffer than any other helmet we own.
The package does read "knee or elbow pads" and it only comes with one set of pads. We didn't buy this for the pads, since we have so many already; but someone buying this as a set be warned. My daughter has a full set of princess knee and elbow pads from her skate set, and the pads provided with the helmet are the size of those knee pads. Of course, there is nothing wrong with using them as elbow pads, just wanted to give an idea of the size of those pads.
My daughter has two helmets to choose from and she always chooses this one. It's a nice helmet.
UPDATE:
My daughter is 5 1/2 now and the helmet fits better now than it did just half a year ago. I do wish this helmet has adjustments for the head, but it only comes with the required chin straps. Other than that, this helmet works fine and looks great. My daughter still loves it.

My son is not quite 2 and he can comfortaby wear the helmet even though it is recommended for kids who are at least 3 years of age. Overall, the helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads are well designed and attractive. It's a great choice for parents and young children who are fans of Sesame Street.
There's one drawback on the knee pads and elbow pads. Although they have a sturdy construction, they will tend to pill at the elastic after normal use.

Razor Pro Pad Set - Choose Size Review

Razor Pro Pad Set - Choose Size
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the youth pro pad set (for ages 8 to 14) to accompany a ripstick my 10 year old son received for Christmas. Overall, the pads are great. They are sturdy and will protect your child when or if they fall.
However, my son is skinny, therefore, he swims in these pads. The elbow pads, if worn as elbow pads, cover his whole arm and they look extremely huge on his small body. Therefore, the elbow pads fit better as knee pads. The knee pads will also work for his knees, so I guess he got two sets of knee pads for Christmas.
I gave the pad set three stars because I feel they could have been more specific in the description of the product, however, they are very protective of my sons knees.

Bought a helmet & elbow/knee guard set and also got another set with the Spiderman skateboard son got for Xmas. The helmets are OK, but the elbow/knee guards are pretty cheap. He hasn't worn them much, yet the stitching is coming out of the guards and will be unusable before long. They don't stay on well either. Would not purchase again. I'm researching a good quality elbow/knee guard set to purchase for him now. Spend the extra money and get a good set.
