FAQs
What ages is this helmet suitable for?
This helmet is suitable for children aged 12 months and up. It is important to check the fit regardless of age, as head sizes vary.
How do I adjust the helmet for my child's growing head?
The helmet features a rear sizing dial and adjustable straps. Turn the dial to tighten or loosen the fit around the head, and adjust the straps to ensure they sit correctly under the chin and by the ears.
How do I clean the Micro Helmet?
You can clean the helmet with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Let it air dry completely.
What type of battery does the LED light use, and is it included?
The integrated LED rear light uses one CR2025 battery, which is included with the helmet.
Can this helmet be used for bike riding?
Yes, this helmet is designed for multi-use and is suitable for cycling, scooting, and skating.
What should I do if the helmet shows signs of damage?
If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact or shows visible signs of damage such as cracks or dents, it should be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety.
How do I ensure the helmet provides maximum protection?
Always ensure the helmet is fitted correctly. It should sit level on the head, covering the forehead, and be snug enough that it doesn't move excessively when the child shakes their head. The straps should be adjusted to create a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or wobbly
Adjust the rear sizing dial for a tighter fit. Ensure the side straps are tightened correctly and meet under the ears in a 'V' shape. The chin strap should be snug but allow two fingers to fit between the strap and the chin.
LED rear light not working
Check that the CR2025 battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) side facing outwards. If the battery is old, replace it with a new CR2025 battery.
Padding feels uncomfortable or causes irritation
Ensure the padding is correctly positioned. If it still feels uncomfortable, try adjusting or removing some of the padding layers, if possible, to achieve a better fit. Ensure the chin pad is correctly placed to avoid pinching.
Child complains about helmet being too hot
Ensure the air vents are not blocked. Encourage breaks in shaded areas during hot weather. Verify the fit is not too tight, which can also contribute to heat build-up.
