FAQs
Does this helmet meet safety standards?
Yes, the Oxford Scout Helmet conforms to CE EN1078 safety standards.
Can I use this for skateboarding?
While it is designed for bikes, trikes, and scooters, it is best suited for activities where the CE EN1078 certification is recommended.
Is the bug-stop mesh removable?
The mesh is integrated into the helmet construction for added safety and is not designed to be removed by the user.
How do I know if the helmet is too small?
If the dial is tightened to its maximum setting and the helmet still feels tight, or if it sits too high on the forehead, you should size up.
Can the foam pads be washed?
You can gently wipe them down with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking them to prevent degradation of the adhesive backing.
What is the best way to store the helmet?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can potentially weaken the shell material over time.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose even when dial is tightened
Ensure the internal padding is correctly seated and the child's hair is not preventing the cradle from making contact with the head.
Buckle is difficult to snap
Check the buckle mechanism for grit or debris; blow out any dirt and test the latching mechanism again.
Helmet slides forward over the eyes
Re-adjust the chin strap tension and ensure the rear dial is tightened enough to hold the cradle base above the nape of the neck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, place it squarely on the child's head. Use the rear dial to tighten the internal cradle until the helmet feels secure but comfortable; it should not wobble when the child moves their head. Ensure the chin strap is buckled and adjusted so that only two fingers can fit between the strap and the chin.
For care, wipe the outer microshell with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can degrade the shell integrity. The internal foam pads can be wiped clean; do not submerge the entire helmet in water or use high-pressure hoses, as this may damage the adhesive bonding of the microshell.
