FAQs
Does this helmet meet safety standards?
Yes, the Oxford Scout conforms to the CE EN1078 safety standard for cycling helmets.
Can the inner padding be washed?

Is the bug-stop mesh removable?
The bug-stop mesh is integrated into the helmet design and is not intended to be removed.
How do I know if the helmet fits correctly?
The helmet should sit level on the head, not tilted back, and should remain stable when the child shakes their head gently.
Is this helmet suitable for scooters and skateboards?

Troubleshooting
Helmet wobbles on the child's head
Adjust the rear dial fit system until the internal cradle snuggly grips the back of the head and tighten the chin strap.
Straps are twisted or uncomfortable
Lay the straps flat and use the plastic sliders to re-center the V-junction under the ears before tightening the chin buckle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Oxford Scout is straightforward: place the helmet on the head, ensure it is level, and rotate the rear dial adjuster until the fit is snug but comfortable. The strap should be adjusted so it forms a 'V' shape under the ears, with the buckle secured firmly under the chin.
To care for the helmet, wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents that may degrade the shell material. The foam pads can be removed if necessary to be washed by hand in cool water and must be air-dried completely before re-installation. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
