Children's helmets
Here you will find children's helmets for bicycles, scooters and skateboards. The helmets offer protection for various outdoor activities.
Children's Helmets
Whether for the first balance bike, scooter, or children's bicycle – a suitable helmet is the most important protective gear for your child. In our 'Children's Helmets' category, we offer four carefully selected models specifically tailored to the needs of small heads. All helmets comply with the European standard EN 1078, which mandates impact and fall protection for cycling and inline skating.
When selecting, pay attention to the exact head circumference – measure about one centimeter above the eyebrows. Our helmets cover sizes XXS‑S (48–52 cm) and S‑M (52–56 cm). Weight plays a major role: lightweight models made of EPS foam (energy foam) and a polycarbonate outer shell are better accepted by children and are less likely to be taken off. An adjustable fitting system (such as a dial or ratchet strap) allows for individual adjustment, ensuring the helmet fits snugly without pressing.
Helmets with reflective elements are particularly practical – they significantly increase visibility at dusk or in traffic. All models listed here ventilate the head through multiple openings and have a removable inner padding for easy cleaning. In addition to the classic bicycle or scooter helmet, these products are also suitable for skateboards, kick scooters, and balance bikes. Choose a bright or conspicuous color so your child is seen early in traffic.
The helmets shown cover common children's sizes. The two reflective variants are particularly recommended for rides at dusk or in autumn/winter. Always measure your child's head circumference before purchasing – a helmet that does not fit properly cannot fully perform its protective function.
Other categories
Matching children's helmets can be found in the parent category Outdoor toys a wide range of outdoor toys for all ages. When your child is riding a scooter, a helmet is part of the basic equipment – just like reflective clothing and sturdy footwear. In the scooter category, you will find two- and three-wheeled models that can be optimally combined with helmets from this section. If you are also looking for sandboxes or playhouses for the garden, you will find them in the adjacent sibling categories. Decide based on your child's urge to move and age which vehicle or toy fits best – the helmet accompanies every activity.
Frequently asked questions
At what age should my child wear a helmet?
As soon as your child sits on a balance bike, scooter, or tricycle, a helmet makes sense. This can be the case from about 1.5 years of age. Pay attention to the correct size – many helmets are available from a head circumference of 48 cm (about 1–2 years). Get your child used to wearing it early so that it becomes a matter of course.
Which standard must a children's helmet meet?
All helmets offered in this category are certified according to EN 1078 – the European standard for helmets for cyclists, inline skaters, and skateboarders. This testing ensures that the helmet sufficiently dampens impact energy in the event of a fall and that the retention system is reliable. A CE mark on the helmet confirms conformity.
How do I correctly measure my child's head circumference?
Take a flexible tape measure and place it horizontally around the head about one centimeter above the eyebrows. The tape should lie directly against the skin but not dig in. Note the measurement in centimeters. Compare it with the size chart of the desired helmet – for intermediate sizes, choose the smaller setting, as helmets are often adjustable.
In a nutshell
Children's helmets protect when cycling, on scooters, balance bikes, and skateboards. Key factors are the correct size (measured by head circumference), EN 1078 certification, adjustable systems, and lightweight materials. Reflective models increase visibility. From our selection of four helmets in two sizes, you will find the right protection for your child – always matched to their head measurements.
