FAQs
What age group is this helmet for?
The Oxford Scout is suitable for children starting from 18 months old.
Does this helmet meet safety standards?
Yes, it conforms to the CE EN1078 safety standard.
Can the inner pads be washed?
Yes, the soft foam pads can be removed for cleaning; it is recommended to wash them by hand with mild soap.
What should I do if the helmet is dropped or involved in an accident?
Helmets are designed for single-impact use. If the helmet sustains an impact, the internal structure may be compromised, and it should be replaced immediately.
Is the bug-stop mesh removable?
No, the bug-stop mesh is integrated into the ventilation design for consistent protection and should not be removed.
How do I know when the helmet is too small?
When the dial-fit adjuster is at its maximum extension and the helmet no longer sits level on the forehead, it is time to transition to a larger size.
Troubleshooting
The helmet wobbles or shifts while the child is moving
Adjust the rear dial-fit system to tighten the headband and ensure the chin strap is correctly tensioned.
The helmet feels too tight or leaves marks on the forehead
Loosen the rear dial-fit adjuster slightly and check that the internal pads are seated correctly without bunching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the helmet, loosen the dial-fit adjuster completely before placing the helmet on the child's head. Position the helmet so it sits level across the forehead, then tighten the rear dial until it is snug but not constricting. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape under the ears and the chin buckle is fastened securely.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the shell using only mild soap and water with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that can weaken the protective shell.
- Remove and wash the soft foam pads periodically if they become sweaty or soiled.
- Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as UV exposure can degrade materials over time.
