Sun's out, scooters out, it's time for an adventure. Before you get going it is essential that (if you don't already own one) then you should consider purchasing a helmet for your child.
In fact if you fit one of the next three profiles then without a doubt this blog post will make essential reading:- You're pretty set on buying your child a scooter and feeling reassured and confident that you've made the right choice on which model to go for.
- Scooter's at the ready but your child's helmet is non existent/ looking a bit worse for wear/ lost. They could do with a safety upgrade.

Getting the right size helmet
It is very temping at this point to grab the helmet that you assume will fit or one that they'll grow into to save shelling out twice. However it is essential that you measure your children's head BEFORE you place an order. Head size has absolutely no correlation to the age of the child. Plus a badly fitting or an incorrect helmet size will mean that it is incredibly uncomfortable for your child to wear. Not only will the helmet irritate them, they will be very reluctant to wear it in future and you'll end up with a redundant helmet in the garage. Children's head sizes vary by age. We've seen 2 year old children with big heads and 10 year olds with small heads.
Kids helmets: How to ensure the perfect fit
Now that your helmet has arrived you need to ensure that it is worn as it should be as an ill fitting helmet is almost the same as not having one at all.
