FAQs
Does this helmet meet safety regulations?
Yes, it conforms to the CE EN1078 safety standard.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The helmet should sit level on the head and remain in place without wobbling when the child shakes their head, once the dial-fit is adjusted.
Can I wash the helmet in a dishwasher?
No, never wash your helmet in a dishwasher. Use only a damp cloth with mild soap.
Should I replace the helmet after a fall?
Yes, any helmet that has sustained a significant impact must be replaced, even if it appears undamaged, as the internal structure may be compromised.
Is the peak removable?
The peak is designed as an integrated part of the helmet style.
What is the weight of the helmet?
The helmet weighs 190 grams.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Check if the internal padding is correctly seated or if the child's head size is smaller than the recommended fit for Size 10.
Chin strap becomes loose during use
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle mechanism and check the tension clips for any debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, place it on the child's head so it sits level across the forehead, just above the eyebrows. Use the rear dial-fit system to tighten the internal cradle until the helmet feels snug but comfortable. Ensure the chin strap is adjusted so that no more than two fingers can fit between the strap and the chin.
For care, the micro-shell exterior is designed to be easy to clean; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the shell material. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
