FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for infants?
It is designed for young children, but please verify the specific size range (e.g., 45-49cm, 47-51cm, or 49-54cm) against your child's head circumference.
Can the LED light be replaced if it breaks?
The light is integrated for safety, but please contact your local dealer regarding replacement parts if a malfunction occurs.
Is the visor adjustable?
No, this model features a streamlined design without an adjustable or removable visor.
Does the fly net affect airflow?
The fly net is designed to maintain airflow while providing a barrier against insects, keeping the child cool and protected.
What is the best way to clean the interior?
Remove the interior pads and hand wash them in lukewarm water with mild soap, then air dry completely before reinserting.
Why is the back of the helmet flat?
The flat rear design is specifically created to allow the child to sit comfortably in a bike seat or trailer without the helmet pushing their head forward.
Troubleshooting
The rear LED light is not turning on.
Check if the battery requires replacement and ensure the battery compartment is securely closed.
The helmet feels loose on the child's head.
Use the Run System Classic Slide to tighten the fit and ensure the chin strap is adjusted to allow only one or two fingers of space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, unlock the Run System Classic Slide and place the helmet level on the child's head. Adjust the slide until the cradle snuggly grips the back of the skull without causing pressure. Use the Y-Clip on the side straps to ensure the straps sit flat against the face, forming a 'V' shape under the ears.
For care, wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. The interior padding can generally be removed for hand washing. Ensure the helmet is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can damage the EPS foam. Periodically check the rear LED light battery to ensure it remains operational.
