FAQs

What age is this helmet suitable for?

This helmet is designed for children with head circumferences between 48cm and 54cm. This typically corresponds to ages 2-5 years, but it's essential to measure your child's head for the best fit.

How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?

A proper fit means the helmet sits level on the head, covering the forehead. You should be able to fit no more than two fingers between the helmet and your child's eyebrows, and no more than one finger between the chin strap and the chin. It should feel snug and not move excessively.

Can I wash the helmet?

You can clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the helmet in water.

What should I do if the helmet is damaged?

If the helmet has been involved in an impact or shows signs of damage like cracks or deep scratches, it should be replaced immediately, even if the damage is not immediately obvious. The protective materials can be compromised.

How heavy is the helmet?

The Raleigh Kids Helmet Lil Terra Stars is very lightweight, weighing approximately 205g.

What does the 'anti-pinch buckle' do?

The anti-pinch buckle is designed to prevent the child's skin from getting caught and pinched when the chin strap is being fastened or unfastened, making it more comfortable for the child.

Can I attach accessories like lights to this helmet?

While not specifically designed for accessories, small, lightweight clip-on lights may be attachable. However, avoid using adhesives or permanent attachments that could damage the helmet's structure.

Troubleshooting

Helmet does not fit securely

Ensure the rear adjustment dial is tightened properly and the side lock adjusters are set correctly to create a snug fit. Re-measure your child's head to confirm it falls within the 48-54cm range.

Child complains about discomfort

Check that the helmet is not too tight. Adjust the rear dial and chin strap for a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the helmet is sitting level on the head and not tilted.

Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten

Ensure the anti-pinch mechanism is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions around the buckle. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Helmet feels too hot during use

Confirm that all 8 vents are clear of obstructions. Ensure the helmet is worn correctly, allowing for proper airflow. On very hot days, shorter rides may be advisable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure Head Circumference: Ensure your child's head measures between 48cm and 54cm. This is the most crucial step for proper fit and safety.
  2. Adjust Fit Dial: Place the helmet on your child's head. Turn the rear adjustment dial until the helmet feels snug but not too tight. It should not move freely from side to side.
  3. Secure Chin Strap: Fasten the chin strap using the anti-pinch buckle. Adjust the side lock adjusters so the straps form a 'Y' shape just below your child's ears.
  4. Final Check: The helmet should sit level on the head, covering the forehead. You should be able to fit no more than two fingers between the helmet and your child's eyebrows, and no more than one finger between the strap and the chin.

Compatibility:

  • This helmet is designed for cycling, scooting, and other recreational activities where head protection is recommended for children.
  • It is suitable for children with head circumferences between 48cm and 54cm.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's materials.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it in a location where it could be crushed.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or worn straps. If significant damage is present, the helmet should be replaced.
