Cute and Top Quality, Too

On: 2008-09-19

I thought the duck was adorable and it fits well. The first time fitting it and putting it on was a bear, but now that my little guy associates it with going on a ride, we have no trouble. I would buy it again.

really nice fit

HELMET FOR ONE YEAR OLD

On: 2008-08-11

THIS HELMET FITS OUR SON AND HE DOESNT HATE IT, BUT HATES WEARING HATS OF ANY KIND. WE WERE HAPPY TO FIND THIS HELMET AS WE ARE READY TO TAKE HIM OUT FOR HIS FIRST BIKE RIDE.

Very good buy

This is the only helmet that I could find that would fit my 12 month old. It fits her very well. All of the other helmets would fall right off. It is a struggle to get on. She doesnt sit still long enough for me to adjust it. When I hook it I almost get hre chin caught in it. The only thing is that I wish it were easier to put on and ajust. It still is a very good purchase. Once the helmet is on it works very well.

great adjustable helmet

Giro helmets are the best! I have 3 kids and have tried different helmets. No other brand offers the custom fit that giro does. the helmet grows with the kids heads. there is a dial inside to expand & contract the fit. do it. buy this now. "Yellow chicks" looks less feminine in person. I confidently put it on my son. the Pink Bunnies rocks for Girls!

Works very well

I bought one of these for my 1 year old daughter. It works very well with the exception of getting it to fit right. It took several tries. When you have a screeching baby its not so easy. Its sturdy and made with very light materials. So far I am happy with the purchase

Fits great.

The helmet fits my 18 month old son perfect with room for adjustment as he gets older. The design is bright and colorful and the price is reasonable.

Great helmet!

This is a wonderful helmet. It can really adjust and grow to fit our daughters head. Not to mention how cute it is. We had a hard time finding something small enough for my daughter, 18 months, but this is a perfect fit.

Very good

On: 2008-06-18

Love the cute pink bunnies, and over-all a very good helmet, my only complaint would be that its a little hard to adjust the straps with an impatient toddler. But then everything is a little hard with an impatient toddler right? Otherwise she likes it and doesnt try to pull it off and I feel comfortable about her safety. I did alot of research on the few infant helmets available and Id say this is the best one you can find. And did I mention the cute pink bunnies?

Cute and okay with my toddler.

On: 2008-06-06

Cute helmet. The loc-tite system is nice. With the rounded back, the helmet works well in the trailer. Took my 14 month old some time to be okay with wearing the helmet. Im having trouble getting the straps to fit right, but thats also because of trying to fit it on a squirming toddler.

baby helmet

Helemt fit great. Son didnt seem to mind it on. Loved the duck theme and color...vibrant and adorable. Helmet felt sturdy, light and "safer" in comparison to other helmets. Happy customer :)

Bike helmet for babies

On: 2008-05-16

It was really hard to find a helmet that would fit my sons head. He is 19 months and this helmet is the only one I could find that would come close to fitting. It is still a little big and the straps are kind of confusing to me. I think it will fit him better as he grows. But it works and is confortable on his head. He hates wearing hats or anything on his head and this doesnt bother him at all.

Helmet Great for Youngins

On: 2008-05-09

This helmet is great. My son is 20 months, would have fit him at 16, or less? Great small size strong product. Like it.

Versatile adjustment for infants

On: 2008-05-05

I read a lot of different reviews for bike helmets including those of a well-known national consumers group magazine. Our local sporting goods store has an array of helmets for kids age 3 and up, but just try and find one for an infant/toddler. Amazons reviews were very helpful and I finally narrowed the choice down to the Bell Boomerang and the Giro Me2. Both were rated well, but the feature that got my vote for the Giro was the adjustable fit system. With just the twist of a knob (located at the rear of the helmet), the inside strap that encircles the infants head can be tightened or loosened for a custom fit. This is particularly useful when dealing with an infant who is new to wearing a bike helmet, and therefore resistant to putting it on and fiddling too long with strap adjustments. Giro also includes some extra stick-on foam pads to help provide extra cushion and a good fit. I had the most difficulty finding the right position for the chinstrap. But I suspect with any brand helmet, it would take some finesse to cajole your infant while making the proper adjustment. My son, who is 10 months old, did not like it when I fastened the clip, but once we were on the bike, he loved it and totally forgot about wearing the helmet. Im well satisfied with this purchase, plus with Amazons free shipping, it was a good deal.

We love it!!!

This helmet is perfect for my petite 2 year old daughter. She loves the cute duck theme and doesnt fuss too much when we put it on.We use this with the WeeRide Kangaroo child bike seat and it works well. Because she is so small, the helmet seems a little bulky but I guess that is for safety purposes. All in all, we love it and would definitely buy it again.

Good helmet

On: 2008-04-19

I like this helmet. It seemed to be a good price compared to some of the other helmets I priced out. Sometimes it does slide down over my daughters eyes, but I think that is because it may still be a tad big for her. Overall, I definitely would recommed this product to anyone looking for an infant helmet!

Great so far....

Fortunately this helmet hasnt been used for what it is intended, in case of a fall, so I cant say it performed great or terrible. However, my wife and I use it for our 9 1/2 month old. It fits well enough but it is slightly big and looks even bigger when hes wearing it. At first hes a little resistant when we put it on but the instant we take off for that ride, he couldnt care less and probably forgets hes even wearing it. He does have a some problem turning his head as were riding and usually doesnt even try. Hes content just staying in one position. At the rate hes growing, theres no doubt this helmet will work out even better in the coming months! Wouldnt recommend for a child any younger but its a great product especially for the price!

he hates hat but he loves this helmet and he looks so cute

On: 2008-04-06

I reviewed other reviews for many different toddler helmets. Then I chose this one. It is very easy to adjust. For my 2 year old who is quite tall and big, it fits well. He would not wear any hats and he does not like anything on his head but somehow he likes this helmet. Dial knob in the back is so easy to adjust. He looks so cute in this helmet. Thanks to all those who left helpful reviews.

Baby Helmet

On: 2008-03-03

I love this helmet. It was easy to fit and is the perfect size! I would recommend this helmet. I was not sure if it would fit or not since my sons head is small but it ended up being the perfect helmet. My son wears it everytime he goes out side and rides his bike.

Helmet is great

On: 2008-01-27

This helmet is great for younger children. It fits my one year old really well. He does put up a little fuss when we put it on him but hell get use to wearing it eventually and he will love being able to ride along when mommy and daddy go for bike rides.

Helmet review

On: 2007-12-30

I purchased this for my three year old and it works great. I really like the turning adjustment in the back instead of trying to adjust the straps manually like you find on other youth helmets.

very pleased

On: 2007-10-18

Our little girl is petite and extremely active. It was tough to find a bike helmet that would adjust properly. This one is terrific.

perfect for my biker chick!

On: 2007-10-11

This helmet is very safe and sturdy. I have been using it on my 8 month old. The only issue that I have with it (and likely other helmets), is that the strap is hard to get underneath a chubby chinned baby. Especially one like mine that doesnt like anything under her chin. But, we got it on, and went for a ride. What fun!

this infant helmet is tops!

On: 2007-10-02

we love this helmet for our 9 month old daughter. we went on our first bike ride with her in tow in our chariot trailer. the helmet was a great fit and easily adjustable, and is so darn cute! customer service at amazon is tops. we had an issue with the first one we received and they promptly sent us another in time for the weekend we needed it. thanks again amazon!

Very nice helmet--easy to fit

On: 2007-08-23

We were having a hard time finding a bicycle helmet small enough for our 20 month old son in the stores. I found this helmet online and read some good reviews so we ordered it. This helmet is perfect. It was very easy to get adjusted the first time and is easy to adjust every time we use it, if needed. The best part is my son doesnt mind wearing it at all. He hates hats, but will ask to wear this "hat" and doesnt seem to notice it once it is on his head. Very pleased with this helmet.

Love it so far

On: 2007-08-06

I previously purchased another helmet for my 15-month-old son from Meijer on sale, but reconsidered after doing some research on safety. I spent a little more on this helmet, but I know that it was worth it. I know that it will keep my little guy safe and he LOVES it. Fortunately, we are working towards making him a child who will keep a hat on and he thinks its funny to wear his helmet, even when he is not on the bike. I like the fact that there are several ways to adjust the fit on this helmet-not just the chin straps, but also the clicker thing on the back of the helmet. I feel much more confident this way, that it is sitting accurately on his head. It seems comfortable as he doesnt fight to get it off and the design is adorable, but not too "babyish" so if need be, it can grow with him a little. Overall, a good price for a great helmet!

better helmet for 16 month old child

On: 2007-07-31

My son did not like the helmet we bought at Target which stuck out at the back near the neck preventing him from keeping his head upright during bike rides and causing him to cry. This helmet provided a flat surface so he could keep his head upright and he now enjoys bike rides in the carrier.

awesome youth bike helmet

On: 2007-07-23

I love this helmet! I love how you can adjust it to fit with the dial setting. It is easy to use; and it is made well. I think we will get at least a couple of years use from this helmet. Great product!

best toddler bike helmet

On: 2007-07-18

This bike helmet is perfect for my 18 month old to ride in her bike trailer. The infant helmet was too small and the next size up too big. This helmet has a dial in the back that you can adjust to make it larger or smaller--great for growing kids! The pink bunnies are a hit too--she will wear it around the house sometimes just for fun!

Good Helmet

On: 2007-07-13

I was looking for a helmet for my 1 year old. After reading reviews on Amazon, I choose this one. It is a very nice helmet and adjusts easily. he doesnt mind wearing it.

Not pleased

On: 2007-06-28

We bought this helmet for our 10 month old who rides in the kiddy seat behind my bike. When she leans back, the helmet flops down over her face like a face mask. It doesnt matter how tight we squeeze it, its just never comfortable and always ends up over her face. We think this has to be more dangerous than riding without a helmet at all. Weve looked into other companies and nobody seems to make a helmet designed to work well with child seats

Great Helmet

On: 2007-06-14

My baby is 8 months old, and although he certainly does NOT enjoy having the helmet put on his head, it fits comfortably and safely. It takes awhile to adjust it, and I suggest setting aside time for fitting it to the baby BEFORE you attempt to take him/her out as doing so right before you want to leave will only frustrate you and probably really aggravate the baby, thus lending to an unpleasant bike ride/jog. Helmet is lightweight and secure. I would recommend it to a friend, and I would also purchase another if I have another baby.

Cute Helmet

On: 2007-03-05

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, its 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, its easy to adjust. I have now had it over a year, and it still going great. Deedee still loves her pink bunnies. It hasnt gotten used at much as I would have liked, but Im glad that its growing with her so we dont have to buy another one for her yet. I like that there are several cute designs to choose from. I have heard that its better to have a smooth rounded back vs. a back that protrudes, however I cant say that Ive 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.
