Giro Kids' Scamp Cycling Helmet

Product Information

How long the helmet will fit depends on how fast your child’s head grows. This little nugget is now 4.5 and can still comfortably and safely wear the Small Scamp while riding her pedal bike. We anticipate needing a new helmet by age 5. All helmet manufacturers use the same sizing system, based on the circumference of the head above the ears. The sizes themselves vary from brand to brand, though, so it’s important to measure your own head and keep that number handy if you can’t try on a helmet before buying it. Weight, Ventilation, and Aerodynamics The Giro Scamp kids’ bike helmet has eight large vents that help with proper airflow within the helmet. Its inner padding has a sweat absorption capacity, which helps keep the kids’ heads dry for a long time. Notably, the non-MIPS helmets, the plastic liner does not cover the vents nor lets any sweat adhere to it. Hands down, the Giro Scamp youth helmet beats all the other helmets for preschoolers and toddlers. Thumbs up for the Giro Scamp helmet for being a trendy, durable, safe, and fairly-priced kids’ bike helmet. It considers the anatomical placement and properties of the head, ensuring a snug fit. The Scamp also comes with a large rubberized knob that makes it easy the adjustment of the helmet for proper tension, allowing it to fit in the sprogs' heads comfortably. It is always a better, safe, and lighter ride with the Giro Scamp. Giro Scamp MIPS or Non-MIPS Versions

The Giro Scamp adjusts via the chin straps and a rear dial-adjust. We love the dial-adjusts on kids helmets as they help get the fit just right, and allow the helmet to grow as your child does. Best used in: Recreational cycling (Good for toddlers and preschoolers for both cyclist and those riding in bike trailers) In older versions of the Scamp, we found that on some testers with long hair, the MIPS anchors can snag their hair. It bothered some of our kids, but others were oblivious to it. This ability to fine tune the chin straps on the Scamp is another reason why it stands out from the crowd. With many helmets, particularly budget helmets, the chin straps are often extremely difficult to properly adjust. As a result, these helmets often flop around on a child’s head and never remain squarely on top. The Schwinn Infant helmet is a perfect example of a seemingly decent helmet that is almost impossible to adjust properly. The chin straps never stay in place, which results in the helmet moving around too much, which greatly affects the ability of the helmet to protect a child in the event of a crash. As a result, when at all possible, we highly recommend paying the extra money to upgrade to the Scamp.

Before setting your child up for an impressive first two-wheel experience besides the bike, you must ensure the helmet keeps them safe.

We’ve tested the Scamp on many kids, and XS is a perfect first helmet for many babies and toddlers while the size Small typically fits our testers from ages 2.5 to 5. At its smallest setting (45 cm), the XS was ideal for our 12-month-old tester to use in the trailer and child bike seats, but by the time she was 2.5 we had to move her up to the Small size. made by Mips. Warning: the Mips system in a helmet has been positioned in accordance with specifications It is a bi-layer helmet protection system found in the inner layers of the helmet. It comprises a low-friction plastic liner where the head of the rider rests. The MIPS technology absorbs most of the impact in a crash. It is essentially a two-layer helmet protection system in which the interior layer is a low-friction liner that rests on the rider’s head and results in less force transferred to the brain in the event of impact. The technology is still somewhat controversial, but we personally like the err on the side of extra safety when it comes to our son’s noggin.

The Little Nutty is very similar to Nutcase’s baby bike helmet but is wider on the sides, is a tad heavier, and is dual-certified for skateboard use. Between the Little and Baby Nutty, it can be a bit hard to decide since they are designed for the same 48 – 52 cm head circumference range.Your cargo is precious, and if that helmet doesn’t fit, it can’t protect your baby!
