Product Information
Full details
The Giro Scamp II Helmet is an ideal choice for young riders transitioning from trailers to independent cycling, offering adult-inspired protection in a lightweight, child-friendly package. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sturdy polycarbonate shell with impact-dissipating EPS foam, though parents should note that it is specifically designed for smaller head sizes, requiring careful measurement before purchase.

FAQs
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
The helmet should sit level on the head, covering the forehead, and should not move significantly when the child shakes their head from side to side.
Can I replace the internal pads?
Yes, if the pads become worn or unhygienic, they can typically be removed for hand washing or replaced if the manufacturer offers replacement kits.
Is this helmet suitable for toddlers in a bike trailer?
Yes, the Scamp II is specifically designed to be low-profile, making it ideal for trailer use where headrests might otherwise push a helmet forward.
How often should I replace the helmet?
Helmets should be replaced after any significant impact, or every 3-5 years due to natural material degradation, even if it hasn't been in a crash.
What is the primary material used for protection?
The helmet uses impact-dissipating EPS foam protected by a durable polycarbonate shell.
Troubleshooting
Helmet slides around on the child's head
Adjust the rear dial fit system to tighten the circumference and ensure the side strap 'V' junctions are positioned just below the ears.
Child complains of discomfort or pinching
Check that the chin buckle is not catching skin and ensure that the internal padding is correctly seated inside the shell.
Pros and Cons

- Easy-to-use dial fit system promotes independent adjustment

- High-quality materials provide reliable impact protection

- Limited sizing options compared to adult helmet ranges
- Requires regular fit verification as the child grows
- Purple colorway may not suit all personal style preferences
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, place it on the child's head so it sits level—not tilted back. Tighten the `Roc Loc Junior` dial at the rear until the helmet is snug but not constricting. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape under the ears and the chin buckle clicks securely without pinching skin. For care, use only mild soap and water to clean the shell and straps. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the structural integrity of the polycarbonate shell. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays and extreme heat can degrade the foam liner over time.
