FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for mountain biking?
The Skurb Kid is primarily an urban-style helmet designed for everyday cycling and skating. It offers standard protection but lacks the deep-back coverage and integrated sun visor typically found on dedicated mountain bike helmets.
Can I replace the internal padding?
Yes, the padding is removable. If it becomes worn over time, you can wash it, or look for replacement sets if available through authorized ABUS retailers.
How do I know if the helmet is too small?
If the adjustment wheel is fully tightened and the helmet still moves significantly, or if the helmet sits too high on the forehead, it is likely too small and needs to be sized up.
Is the helmet waterproof?
The materials are water-resistant, but the helmet should not be submerged. If it gets wet from rain, simply wipe the shell dry and allow the padding to air out.
Does this helmet work for children with thick or long hair?
Yes, the height-adjustable system is specifically designed to accommodate pigtails and long hair, ensuring the helmet fits securely without interference.
Troubleshooting
Helmet wobbles on the head
Tighten the adjustment wheel at the back of the helmet until the fit is snug and check that the side straps are evenly balanced.
Straps feel irritating against the skin
Ensure the straps are not twisted and adjust the plastic sliders beneath the ears for a flat, comfortable position.
Padding looks worn or dirty
Unclip the internal padding, wash it by hand in lukewarm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before re-attaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the adjustment wheel at the back. Place the helmet on the child's head so it sits horizontally across the forehead. Tighten the rear wheel until the internal ring feels snug but comfortable. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape just below the ears and that the chin buckle is fastened securely. For maintenance, remove the internal padding once a month for a gentle hand wash with mild soap and water. Always air dry the pads away from direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the outer shell for cracks after any hard impact; if the integrity is compromised, the helmet should be replaced.
