When choosing a BMX helmet for kids, safety is the top priority. A comfortable, well-fitted helmet ensures the best protection for your child. The style of riding also influences the type of helmet they need. A full-face helmet is ideal for BMX racing, while an open-face or half-shell BMX helmet offers sufficient protection for park and street riding.
Wearing a full-face helmet depends on your riding style, the ideal helmet for someone cruising the pump track may not be the best choice for someone attempting backflips at the skatepark. Full-face helmets are mandatory for BMX racing events, while a half-shell or open-face helmet offers sufficient protection for freestyle riding.
Choosing the right size BMX helmet is crucial for protecting your head. To ensure you get the perfect fit, start by measuring your head. Wrap a tape measure around your head, placing it 1 inch above your eyebrows and running it behind your ears where glasses would sit. Once you know your head circumference, use our helmet size guides, available on each helmet product page, to find the perfect fit. Keep in mind that sizes vary between brands, so be sure to refer to each brand's specific size guide
