Fitting a baby bike helmet properly involves a few crucial steps to ensure safety and comfort.
Here's a breakdown of how to fit a baby bike helmet correctly:
-
Sizing: Choose the right size helmet. Measure your baby's head circumference and compare it to the helmet's size range.
-
Positioning: Place the helmet on your baby's head, ensuring it sits level and covers the forehead. There should be about one or two finger-widths between the eyebrows and the helmet's front edge.
-
Side Straps (Y-Shape): Adjust the side straps so they form a "Y" shape just below the ears. These straps should lie flat against the face.
-
Chin Strap: Fasten the chin strap. It should be snug enough that you can only fit one or two fingers between the strap and the chin.
-
Fit Test: Once everything is adjusted, have your baby shake their head. The helmet should stay in place and not move excessively.
-
Regular Checks: Periodically check the fit as your baby grows and readjust as needed.
