Nice and well-thought-out details. Unfortunately, after just a few weeks, the foam holder on the inside of the forehead came off.

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 to loosen off 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 around 1 cm above the bridge of your child's nose. Turn the size-adjustment dial to tighten the ring on the inside until you're happy that 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. Speaking of which... 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.

There is no other helmet with such a secure front cover and such a brilliantly simple closure. That makes the Ready helmet uniquely good.
The helmet is simply great. The closure alone is very well thought out and can be easily handled by our child themselves. Because the helmet goes further down and the back of the head is therefore much better protected.
We think this helmet is amazing, partly our daughter thinks it's cool, and partly the child can put it on himself and it ends up right every time. It is common for children's helmets to end up too far in the back of the head so that the forehead is unprotected in the event of a fall - but this does not happen with READY, it sits where it should. It is easy for the child to adjust the helmet with the slider at the back and the child can snap and unbutton himself without any problems.
Easy installation, not yet used as the lighting conditions were good
The helmet fits well and Valerie was happy to put the helmet on right from the start.
The children simply love wearing the helmets because they are so easy to put on and everything works intuitively!
The woom helmet is my 3rd helmet purchase for my 5 year old granddaughter for past two years. She loves the purple colored light weighted helmet with adjustable strap and especially the magnetic catch and ready helmet light.
kids are stoked on the helmets. magnetic clip means no skin pinches and the ear loops are fixed so we don’t have to constantly fiddle with loose straps that result in cattywampus fit. helmets have excellent coverage and are very light - especially considering how big the are - children appear a bit cartoonish given the size/coverage of the helmet but its overall cute and for sure worth it for the added safety. quite the price tag for kids gear, but they wear them almost every day and these products resell easily. def worth it, lucky enough to be able to score purpose made gear and the ease of use means the kids have less barriers to going for a ride. little blinky light is nice too, helps to keep track of the little heathens when they threaten to disappear over the horizon.
The padding inside the helmet is attached with velcro. It falls out every time my 5 year old and 3 year old wear their helmets. We are constantly finding them around the bikes. If you do not replace the pads, their hair gets stuck to the velcro adhered to the inside of the helmet - especially terrible for my 5 year old with long fine hair.
I purchased a size medium for my 7 1/2 year old. I measured her head carefully according to the instructions on the website. The medium should fit according to the Woom size chart. It is comically big. Woom also sigh if you are in between two sizes to size up. She was well within the size of a medium. It doesn’t come with adjustable pads and the pads provided do seem rather thin. I like the quality, the latch seems like a nice design and it is very light weight, also a plus. The helmet took a long time to arrive and was delayed several times, not sure why. I might try ordering the next size down on Amazon for easier shipping/returns.
Great product, shipping, and customer service
My 3-year-old son loves his woom READY helmet almost as much as I do. He can buckle or unbuckle it easily by himself, and we love the integrated light that fits in the rear (perfect for rides at dusk). It's lightweight, easy to adjust, and I like the matte color on the pale grey version. I like that he can wear it not only when he's riding his woom 1 (soon to be woom GO 2!), but also when he rides as a passenger on my e-bike or bike trailer. And he can wear it if/when he learns to ride a scooter as well. Overall, you can tell this one was designed with care!
