Product Information

Full details

The Giro Scamp II Helmet is an ideal safety solution for toddlers and young cyclists, offering a balance of high-end protection technology and lightweight comfort. Designed specifically for the youngest riders, this helmet features robust in-mold construction that fuses a durable shell with impact-dissipating foam, making it a reliable choice for bike trailers or solo riding. While it provides excellent coverage and ease of use, parents should note that its specialized design is tailored for smaller heads, meaning it will eventually need to be sized up as the child grows.

FAQs

How do I know if the helmet is the right size?

The helmet should sit level on the head and should not slide significantly when the child moves. If the adjustment dial is at its limit, it is likely time to size up.

Can this helmet be used for other sports?

The Scamp II is specifically engineered for cycling. It should not be used for contact sports or activities requiring different safety certifications.

How often should I replace the helmet?

It is recommended to replace the helmet if it has been involved in a crash, or every 3-5 years due to natural material degradation, even if it looks undamaged.

Is the padding inside washable?

Yes, you can gently hand-wash the interior padding with mild soap and water, then let it air dry completely before re-inserting.

Is this helmet suitable for children in bike trailers?

Yes, its lightweight profile and ergonomic design are specifically suitable for children riding in bike trailers or child seats.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable or wobbles

Adjust the Roc Loc Junior dial at the back to tighten the internal fit system and ensure the chin strap is properly tensioned.

Child finds the straps uncomfortable

Ensure the side strap adjusters are positioned correctly just under the ears to prevent the webbing from rubbing against the skin.

  • Excellent airflow provided by 13 dedicated ventilation ports
  • Durable in-mold design for long-term safety performance

  • Specific sizing limited to small children's head dimensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Giro Scamp II, place the helmet on the child's head so that the front rim sits level, just above the eyebrows. Use the rear Roc Loc Junior dial to tighten the internal cradle until the helmet feels secure but comfortable. Ensure the side straps form a 'V' shape under each ear and that the chin buckle clicks firmly into place with enough room for one finger to fit between the strap and the chin. For care, clean the shell using only mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the structural integrity of the EPS foam. Always inspect the helmet for cracks or damage after any significant impact.
