FAQs
What safety standard does this helmet meet?
The Oxford Scout Helmet conforms to CE EN1078 safety standards.
Is this helmet suitable for my 1-year-old?
No, this helmet is designed for children aged 18 months and older.
How do I clean the inner padding?
The foam pads can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-inserting them.
Can this helmet be used for skateboarding?
While it is a multi-purpose kids' helmet, it is primarily rated for cycling, scootering, and balance bike use. Always ensure it fits snugly for the intended activity.
What should I do if the helmet is dropped?
If the helmet sustains a significant impact or drop that causes a visible crack or dent, it should be replaced, as it may no longer provide optimal protection.
Troubleshooting
Helmet slides forward or backward
Adjust the rear dial-fit system to tighten the headband and readjust the side chin straps to create a secure V-shape under the ears.
Child complains of discomfort or pinching
Check that the foam padding is correctly aligned and ensure that the chin strap buckle is not catching on skin or clothing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper protection, place the helmet level on the child's head, ensuring it covers the forehead. Use the rear dial to tighten the internal cage until it feels secure but comfortable. The side straps should form a 'V' shape around the ears, and the chin strap should be tightened enough that only one or two fingers can fit between the strap and the chin.
For care, wipe the microshell exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents that may degrade the plastic shell. Remove the interior foam pads periodically for a gentle hand wash and air dry. Always inspect the helmet for cracks or dents after any significant impact; if the helmet has sustained a hit, it should be replaced immediately as its structural integrity may be compromised.
