(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.
