Let\u2019s be honest: getting your child to wear a helmet can be an uphill battle, but finding the best kids\u2019 bike helmet doesn’t have to be. As parents, sometimes we have to take the path of least resistance, and maybe we will think, as long as they are wearing a helmet, it doesn\u2019t matter, they are safe<\/em>. That is where a quality helmet can make a significant difference, because ultimately, we do want them to be safe. However, not all helmets are made equally, and navigating safety standards and features like MIPS technology can be a bit mind-bending – thats where the team here at Cycling Weekly can help.<\/p>\n

The first step is to offer them a quality helmet that fits well, provides decent coverage, is comfortable, and is even fun to wear. Doing this can make a huge difference. Leading by example can also help change perspectives; if your children see you wearing a helmet and their helmet looks similar, I’ve found it breaks down barriers and helps make them enthusiastic about wearing one. Ideally, you will want to match the helmet’s style to the riding you will most likely be doing, but this is far less important than it is for adults with the best road bike helmets. However, it can make a difference, even if it’s as simple as choosing the colour your child prefers.<\/p>\n

As with all things related to kids, such as the best balance bikes and best kids’ bikes here at Cycling Weekly, we ourselves are not the ones putting these helmets through their paces; our kids are. This allows us to do what we do best\u2014the writing\u2014but also gives us time to observe how they interact with the helmets. Occasionally, we receive helpful feedback on the colour or comfort.<\/p>\n

The most important part for us here, though, is safety. This means we only test helmets that meet the required UK\/EU and US standards first and foremost. The helmets we rate highly should also offer excellent fit and comfort, good overall coverage, and additional features such as rotational impact protection (e.g., MIPS). This is why we rate the Woom Ready as the best kids\u2019 bike helmet, for pretty much nailing all these points.<\/p>\n
