Full details

The MET Hooray Kids Helmet is designed for young cyclists, offering enhanced safety and comfort for everyday rides and trips in child seats. Its key benefit lies in protecting the fontanel, a sensitive area of a developing head, with specialized Bimbi-Secure Technology. A potential consideration is ensuring the correct size is chosen for optimal fit and protection, as with any helmet.

FAQs

What age group is the MET Hooray helmet designed for?

The MET Hooray helmet is designed for kids, specifically catering to the safety needs of infants and young children who may be riding in child seats or starting their cycling journey.

How does the Bimbi-Secure Technology protect my child's head?

Bimbi-Secure Technology ensures the helmet's internal structure avoids direct contact with the fontanel, the softest and most vulnerable part of a developing infant's head, by maintaining a specific helmet shape and fit.

Can this helmet be used when my child is in a bike seat?

Yes, the helmet is ergonomically designed to allow children to sit up straight comfortably while strapped into a bike seat, without compromising safety or posture.

How do I clean the helmet?

The comfort pads are hand washable. Remove them and wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry. The exterior shell can be wiped with a damp cloth.

What sizes are available and how do I measure for the correct fit?

The helmet is available in sizes XS (46-52cm) and S (52-55cm). Measure the circumference of your child's head about an inch above their eyebrows and ears to find the correct size.

What safety certifications does this helmet have?

The MET Hooray helmet holds CE and AS/NZS safety certifications, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards.

Does the helmet have good ventilation?

Yes, the helmet features 10 vents with internal engineered air channelling to promote airflow and keep the child cool.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels too loose or wobbly

Ensure the MET Safe-T JR Fit System dial at the back is tightened appropriately. Check that the side straps are adjusted correctly to form a 'V' below the ears and the chin strap is securely fastened.

Helmet slips down over the eyes

Adjust the front of the helmet to sit lower on the forehead. Tighten the rear fit system and ensure the chin strap is snug. The helmet should not obscure vision.

Child complains of discomfort or pressure points

Re-adjust the fit system and straps. The Bimbi-Secure Technology is designed to prevent pressure on the fontanel, but ensure the helmet is level. The comfort pads can also be repositioned slightly if needed.

Difficulty fastening the anti-pinch buckle

Ensure the two parts of the buckle are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten. If the mechanism feels stiff, check for any debris that might be obstructing it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Fit Adjustment: Place the helmet on the child's head. Adjust the rear MET Safe-T JR Fit System dial until the helmet feels snug but not tight. Ensure the helmet sits level on the head, covering the forehead.
Strap Adjustment: Adjust the side straps so they form a 'V' shape just below the ears. The center strap should rest comfortably under the chin.
Buckle Fastening: Fasten the anti-pinch ratchet buckle. Ensure it is secure and comfortable for the child.

Compatibility:

This helmet is specifically designed for young children and is compatible with most standard bicycle child seats due to its ergonomic shaping.
It meets CE and AS/NZS safety certifications.

Care:

Cleaning: The comfort pads are hand washable. Remove them gently and wash with mild soap and cold water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Shell Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the helmet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the helmet's material.
Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it near sharp objects that could scratch or damage the shell.
