Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the helmet is the correct size for the child's head.
- Place the helmet on the child's head, ensuring it sits level.
- Adjust the chin strap so that only one or two fingers can fit between the strap and the chin.
- Check that the side straps form a 'Y' shape just below the ears and are snug.
- Most helmets feature an adjustment dial at the back; tighten this until the helmet feels secure but not uncomfortable.
Compatibility:
This helmet is designed for general cycling, BMX, and scooter use. It is not intended for motorized sports or activities requiring specialized impact protection.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the helmet's material. The inner padding may be removable on some models for gentle hand washing with mild soap and water; allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it near heat sources, as extreme temperatures can degrade the helmet's protective properties.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or fraying straps. If the helmet has been involved in a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is apparent.
