Have questions about the READY Kids' Helmet?

The READY Kids' Helmet is available in three sizes: XS (46–50 cm), S (50–53 cm) and M (53–57 cm). It is designed to fit children aged between 1 and 14 years.

The helmet has been tested for compliance with the DIN EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 standard, which sets out the requirements for helmets for pedal cyclists and users of skateboards and roller skates. This means that the READY Kids' Helmet is designed exclusively for children and is only suitable for everyday cycling and roller sports. The children's helmet is not approved for high-speed cycling, downhill runs, dirt jumping or BMX jumps and stunts. But your child can use the READY Kids' Helmet when they're using skateboards and roller skates as well as when they're riding their bike.

The crucial factor in determining the right size is the circumference your child's head. Holding a tape measure against your child's forehead, about 1 cm above their eyebrows and ears, measure all the way around their head. Check the positioning of the tape measure at the back of their head to ensure you're measuring the widest part. Check your measurement against the size specifications on the READY Kids' Helmet product page.

Start by checking that the helmet is covering your child's head properly and is sitting level.

Make sure the helmet is not pulled too far back. It should also not fall so far forward that it restricts your child's vision. Ideally, the front edge of the helmet should sit around 1 cm above the bridge of your child's nose. 

To check the size and fit, open the chin strap clasp and get your child to shake their head. If the helmet moves around too much, turn the adjustment dial to tighten the fit.

Before using the helmet for the first time, adjust the chin strap length for a secure yet comfortable fit.

The outer shell is made from polycarbonate (PC) that is 100% recycled. The inner shell is made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) that is 50% recycled. The specially developed visor, which acts as a sun and rain shield and protects against injury, is made from expanded polypropylene (EPP).

You should only ever clean the helmet and its components with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Aggressive cleaning agents and solvents can corrode the helmet material and compromise its protective effect. 

Store the helmet in a cool, dry place where it is protected from daylight. Excessively high temperatures and strong UV radiation can also damage the helmet. Do not store the helmet in places where temperatures of above +40 °C can be reached, e.g. in the sun on the parcel shelf of a car. Likewise, do not place the helmet directly on or next to a  heat source such as a stove. 

By looking after the helmet and storing it properly, you can stop the material from aging too quickly and ensure that the helmet continues to protect your child throughout the product lifespan.

The bike helmet should only be used for a maximum of three to five years from the specified production date, even if it looks like it's in good condition. The production date can be found on a sticker on the inside of the helmet. 

The lifespan of the helmet depends on:

• Use: Strong UV rays and a high degree of wear and tear are just two of the factors that can have a negative impact on the helmet's properties and reduce its lifespan. 
• Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place where it isn't exposed to sunlight, doesn't come into contact with aggressive chemicals and isn't subject to mechanical forces such as compression, pressure or tension.
• Cleaning: Only ever clean the helmet and its components with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Aggressive cleaning agents and solvents can corrode the helmet material and compromise its protective effect.
• If the helmet is involved in a fall or crash, you have no choice but to replace it.

By looking after the helmet and storing it properly, you can stop the material from aging too quickly and ensure that the helmet continues to protect your child throughout the product lifespan.

Nothing is more important than the safety of your child. Your child should not keep wearing the helmet after a fall or crash – even if you can't see any signs of damage on the helmet and it still looks like it's in good condition. 

Every impact reduces the ability of the energy-absorbing material in the helmet shell to absorb further impacts. Even tiny cracks and other damage you can't see on the outside can reduce the protective function of the helmet.

Children are smaller than adults and sit in a lower position on a bike, so it's important that they are as visible as possible for other road users for their own safety. 

The READY Helmet Light has been carefully designed to fit into the recess at the top on the back of the helmet. This is the highest possible position to ensure maximum visibility when it is attached to the helmet. 

Additional visibility is provided all the way around the helmet thanks to all the reflective features (straps, logos and detailing on the size-adjustment dial).

The design of the READY Kids' Helmet is flexible, providing the option for the light to be added as an extra accessory to suit the individual child's requirements. The helmet light is also compatible with the READY Kids' Helmet in every size. In other words, you can keep using the same light even when your child needs to go up a size because they've outgrown their helmet. This means the light can be used for longer.

The READY Kids' Helmet was deliberately designed without insect protection to ensure maximum ventilation. This decision was made to keep your child's head cool even in warm weather. The design also allows for the READY Helmet Light to be perfectly positioned in one of the recesses on the back of the helmet for maximum visibility.
