Children's Helmets for Inline & Roller Skating
Is a Skate Helmet Necessary for My Children?
Whether your child has only just begun skating or has been at it for quite some time, a children's skate helmet is deemed the most crucial piece of safety gear. A child's helmet can safeguard your loved ones against severe head or brain injuries.
Distinct from a bike helmet, children's skate helmets provide full coverage at the back of the head to prevent injuries from backwards falls on skates. They include additional protective foam beneath the hard plastic shell and come with interchangeable padding straps for the best fit.
How Do I Choose a Children's Skate Helmet?
A skate helmet should fit securely around the entire head. It should not be excessively large or move around, as this may cause it to shift upon impact. A helmet that is too tight can lead to discomfort and headaches. To discover the ideal size, remember to measure your children's heads. This involves measuring the head circumference of your children just above their eyes and ears using a soft measuring tape. Also, ensure you consult the sizing guide specific to each model, as helmet designs may vary slightly from one brand to another.
All children's skate helmets available in this category are certified for skating, regardless of the style your child enjoys. The product descriptions will display common certification labels, including EN, CPSC, and ASTM. Without going into too much detail, if the helmet features one or more of these certifications, it is safe to use for roller and inline skating, as well as skateboarding.
