Product Information
Full details
The Abus Smooty 2.0 is an essential safety accessory designed specifically for toddlers and young children who travel in bike seats. Its standout feature is an ergonomic flat back that prevents neck strain by allowing the child to sit upright and comfortably against a child seat, though parents should note that it is specialized for young passengers rather than active cyclists who operate their own bikes.

FAQs
Is this helmet suitable for a child riding a balance bike?
The Smooty 2.0 is specifically optimized for children in child seats; for children operating their own bikes or balance bikes, a standard helmet is generally recommended.
How do I know when the helmet is too small?
If the adjustment system is at its maximum limit or the helmet no longer covers the forehead adequately, it is time to upgrade to a larger size.
Can I replace the internal padding?
Yes, if the internal pads become worn or soiled, they can often be removed for gentle hand washing or replaced with compatible Abus spare parts.
Does this helmet come with a visor?
The Smooty 2.0 features an integrated visor-like front edge to provide extra protection for the face.
How should the helmet be stored?
Store in a dry location out of direct sunlight. Do not store in a car, as high temperatures can damage the inner foam liner.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when tightened
Ensure the rear adjustment ring is sitting low enough on the back of the head and check that the chin straps are correctly balanced.
Child keeps trying to take the helmet off
Check for pressure points and ensure the strap is not too tight; a slight adjustment to the rear dial often improves overall comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, loosen the `Zoom Evo Kids` adjustment dial at the back before placing it on the child's head. Once positioned correctly, tighten the dial until the full ring feels snug but comfortable. The chin strap should be adjusted so it sits firmly under the chin without hindering the child's mouth. For maintenance, clean the exterior shell using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical solvents or harsh detergents as they can damage the structural integrity of the EPS foam. Always store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material degradation.
