FAQs

What age group is this helmet best suited for?

The MET Hooray Kids Helmet is designed for young children, with a focus on safety and comfort when used in child seats. The sizes available are typically for toddlers and very young children.

How do I clean the helmet?

You can clean the helmet's exterior with a damp cloth. The internal comfort pads are hand washable with mild soap and water. Ensure the helmet is completely dry before storing or using it again.

What does 'In-mould construction' mean?

In-mould construction means the helmet's outer shell is fused directly with the impact-absorbing EPS foam liner during the manufacturing process. This creates a strong, lightweight, and durable structure.

Is the visor removable?

No, the visor on the MET Hooray Kids Helmet is integrated into the shell design and is not removable.

What certifications does this helmet meet?

The MET Hooray Kids Helmet meets multiple safety certifications, including CE, AS/NZS, and US standards, ensuring it meets rigorous safety requirements.

How does the Safe-T JR Fit System work?

The Safe-T JR Fit System uses a dial at the back of the helmet to adjust a 360° head belt. This allows for precise fitting and ensures the helmet remains stable and secure as the child grows.

Can this helmet be used for older children who ride their own bikes?

While it offers excellent protection, the helmet's design is particularly optimized for younger children in child seats due to its extended coverage and integrated visor. For older children riding independently, other helmet models might offer a more suitable fit and style.

Troubleshooting

Helmet is wobbly or shifts easily.

Ensure the MET Safe-T JR Fit System is tightened correctly using the rear dial. Check that the side straps are adjusted properly to sit just below the ears and that the chin buckle is secured.

Child complains of pressure points.

Re-adjust the Safe-T JR Fit System, ensuring it sits evenly around the head. Check for any twisted straps or incorrectly positioned padding. The MET Bimbi Secure Technology is designed to prevent this, so fine-tuning the fit is key.

Buckle pinches skin.

Slightly loosen the chin strap before fastening. Ensure the skin is clear of the buckle mechanism as you click it shut. The anti-pinch design should minimize this, but careful fastening is still advised.

Helmet seems too small despite being the correct size range.

Double-check the head measurement and compare it against the specified size range (XS: 46-52cm, S: 53-55cm). Ensure the internal straps and fit system are fully extended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent head coverage for enhanced safety, especially for younger children.
Comfortable fit due to Bimbi Secure Technology and good ventilation.
Adjustable fit system (Safe-T JR) grows with the child.
Anti-pinch buckle adds ease and safety during fastening.
Integrated visor offers additional protection from sun and impacts.

Cons

May be sized too small for older children or those with larger head sizes.
Visor is integrated and not removable, which might not suit all preferences.
The design is optimized for child seats, potentially making it less ideal for independent riding.
Limited color options may be available depending on the specific model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Adjustment: Use the MET Safe-T JR Fit System's dial to adjust the internal retention system until the helmet fits snugly but comfortably. Ensure the 360° head belt is positioned correctly around the head.
Straps: Adjust the side straps so they form a 'V' shape just below the earlobes. Fasten the anti-pinch ratchet buckle securely under the chin, ensuring it is tight enough to prevent the helmet from shifting but not uncomfortably so.

Compatibility:

Designed to be compatible with child seats, offering optimal protection for this usage.
Available in two sizes: XS (46-52cm) and S (53-55cm). Ensure you measure your child's head circumference before purchasing.

Care:

Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to clean the helmet's shell and straps. The comfort pads are hand washable.
Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near heat sources.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. Replace the helmet if it has been involved in a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent.
