We bought an Explore 4 and the helmets for our 5th birthday twins. The bikes are great and we have 20 km - 25 km (!!) with them three days in a row on the long Easter weekend traveled. The bikes are definitely worth the money! The helmets are also great in principle. They are easy to put on and take off and fit really well without leaving pressure marks. BUT: On this (windy) day, a gust of wind knocked over a bike with a helmet during a rest. The helmet appears to have landed unfavorably. In any case, the polypropylene panel has already had an unsightly crack. I now wonder how durable the helmet will be if it falls out of the hands of the children one time or another? The initial quality impression is great - but we are now really disappointed with today's experience.

Kids' heads need proper protection – and our helmet is the perfect fit.
A child's bike helmet needs to fit properly and feel comfortable. And that means it needs to be carefully designed to match the exact shape of kids' heads as they grow. We studied thousands of scans of children's heads when we were designing our READY Kids' Helmet. That's how we ended up with a helmet that fits and protects perfectly at every stage of a child's development - without slipping, wobbling, pinching, or digging in. Plus, we added plenty of ingenious details to keep your child safe and make it easy for them to put their own helmet on and take it off again.
How do I know which helmet size my child needs?
You need to measure the circumference of your child's head to figure out which helmet size to buy. Holding a tape measure against your child's forehead, slightly above their eyebrows and ears, measure all the way around their head, making sure you're measuring the widest part.
Compare your measurement with our sizes. If you fall on the cusp of two sizes, it's better to size up.
How do I make sure the helmet is sitting correctly?
If the helmet is too tight when your child puts it on, start by turning the size adjustment dial (located on the rear of the helmet) counterclockwise to loosen the adjustment system on the inside. Make sure the helmet is sitting level and covering your child's head properly. The front edge of the helmet should sit slightly above your child's eyebrows. Turn the size adjustment dial clockwise to tighten the ring on the inside until the helmet is sitting nice and snugly. It shouldn't wobble when your child gently shakes their head. Finish off by fastening the chin strap clasp. Before your child wears the helmet for the first time, adjust the length of the chin strap so that the helmet sits snugly but still feels comfortable.
The safest helmet is one that a child wants to wear.
In this video, the smart people who invented this awesome piece of protective headgear explain what makes the READY children's helmet so special. Not only does it look cool, it is also perfectly adapted to children's heads. Find out how the helmet makes children visible in the dark and which other features increase safety.

I now wonder how durable the helmet will be if it falls out of the hands of the children one time or another? The initial quality impression is great - but we are now really disappointed with today's experience. I'm still giving this 5 stars - for the helmet that has not been damaged so far.
Helmet sent back four three weeks ago for exchange, no money has been received yet!
Great helmet for little heads ☺️
The helmet fits perfectly. It is easy to suspend, adjust and close. The closure in particular is very well thought out and there is no more pinching. And the helmet also provides very good protection. Our child has already tested this several times.
We love the new Woom helmet! It fits snuggly on our child's head and is structurally really sound. Thank you, Woom!
It fits great only the old magic lock was better.
My big one wears his helmet without any objection. Highly recommended! The fit is perfect, more than easy to handle and it looks good too! More is not possible! (I remember several times when this helmet saved my child's head/ face. Thanks Woom!) Question: A few more months, then size M will be too small. How/where can you buy L?
The helmet fits perfectly and cannot be put on incorrectly. Great fit and very lightweight
I received a red helmet in size S as a test. Thank you Woom. It's so great that my 6-year-old granddaughter and my 5-year-old grandson are fighting to put it on. Grandpa will have to buy a second one . (Very comfortable/easy to adjust/easy to attach... system that avoids the risk of pinching )
I love this helmet. I do not think there is a better helmet. I have two kids and they do a lot of activities that require a helmet (bike, scooter, roller blades) and they use it for everything. It is easy to click on (I love the magnetic fastner) and the colors are fun. If only they made an adult helmet....(hint hint)
Got size S for our 3yo daughter. It's a hit. She loves it and wears it inside the house. The materials feel good, the visor and magnetic buckle are a nice touch.
We are absolutely delighted with the new Woom children's helmet! Our child really likes to wear the helmet — which, to be honest, wasn't always the case before. It is super comfortable, looks great and doesn't press anywhere. We are particularly impressed by the uncomplicated closure. No fumbling, no jamming and above all: no more grumbling when putting on and taking off! This makes everyday life much more relaxed. For us, this is a clear recommendation — safety, comfort and stress-free handling all in one.
Sits perfectly
Our 3 year old son had an absolutely amazing experience with this balance bike. Very easy and straight forward to use.
