The Size 1 (Youth X-Small) helmet is suitable for children with a head circumference of 48-52cm, typically ranging from 4 to 8 years old.
Clean the helmet with mild soap and cool water. Use a soft cloth for wiping. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a leading slip-plane inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head.
No, the visor on the Sidekick Mips helmet is integrated and not adjustable.
It is recommended to replace the helmet after any significant impact or every 3-5 years, even if no damage is visible, due to potential material degradation over time.
Yes, the Sidekick Mips helmet complies with U.S. CPSC Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets for Persons Age 5 and Older, as well as CE EN 1078 and AS/NZS2063 standards.
While not specifically designed for light attachment, small, lightweight lights may be attached using secure straps, provided they do not interfere with the helmet's fit or integrity.
Re-measure the child's head circumference to confirm it falls within the 48-52cm range for Size 1. Ensure the dial fit system is tightened appropriately. If the helmet consistently feels too large, a larger size may be needed.
Adjust the strap length and position so it sits flat against the skin and the buckle is positioned below the chin. Ensure the strap is not twisted.
Gently clear any debris from the ventilation openings using a soft brush or cloth. Ensure the interior padding is properly seated.
Ensure the dial fit system is loosened fully before placing the helmet on the head. Once on, tighten the dial gradually for a comfortable fit.
