We bought this Woom helmet just 6 days ago because my daughter really wanted the Woom S in purple and it proved just how valuable it is. My daughter had a really serious accident during a bike ride, which even ended in an ambulance and hospital. She fell face first into rough gravel and rolled off several more times in the process. The whole extent was bad: She was bloody everywhere, is covered with hematomas, has a broken wrist and there was debris even around Woom 3. But the most important thing is: Thanks to this really excellent helmet, the head and face remained almost completely unharmed. She only had an abrasion on her chin. Even the doctors have specifically said how well the helmet protected. Apart from an injury to the chin, nothing happened on the face, not even the nose had a scratch. With such a serious fall, it's simply unbelievable for us. The helmet itself is now rubbish and has done exactly what it needs to do: protect when it matters. As soon as the cast is off, my daughter really wants to have that exact helmet again. And honestly: After this experience, there is nothing else for us anymore.

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.

Unfortunately we are very disappointed and expected more from a helmet in this price range. They already had the previous model and were very satisfied with it. But now the adjustment system on the front of the helmet on the brand-new helmet (is only attached to the helmet with a click system) as soon as our child falls asleep on the back of the bike in the bicycle seat and leans their head. The adjustment system then slips onto the bridge of the nose and the helmet no longer fits. Head circumference 51 cm, helmet size S. On the way back from vacation I wanted to complain about the helmet, this is only possible via a contact form with a picture of the damage. I didn't take a picture on the road.
Dear Bärbel, Thank you so much for your honest feedback! We are very sorry to hear that you are having such problems with your helmet. We would like to take a closer look at the fact that the adjustment system comes off, of course, should not happen. If you can't take a suitable photo for us - which we can understand - feel free to send us your request directly to [email protected] instead of using the contact form! As for the photo, we are sure to find a solution. However, it is important to us that we can take a closer look at your helmet.:) Very best regards your WOOM team
I particularly like the fact that the children can put on and close their helmets themselves. And the most important thing is that they no longer pinch their hair back!! THANKS ;-)
Unfortunately, the material on the front of the black cap dissolves after a few uses. Very disappointing and no response from customer service yet.
Dear Amy, Thanks for your honest feedback! We're very sorry to hear that you're having problems with your helmet. That shouldn't be the case, of course. Our colleagues in customer service always get back to you promptly within 1-3 working days. Especially after Easter, there is often something going on here. Thank you so much for your patience! Very best regards your WOOM team
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.
Hi Denis, Thanks for your feedback! How nice to hear that you are already so busy cycling.:) I can all the more understand your disappointment that your helmet has already broken due to such a stupid situation. That shouldn't have happened, of course. We would be very happy if you send a photo to our customer service, we would like to take a closer look at it. In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy your bikes! Very best regards Your WOOM team

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.
