Fitting a Helmet Here are some guidelines to getting the best fit for a bike helmet.
Eyes: The rim of the helmet should be up to 1 to 2 finger widths above the eyebrows
Ears: The straps should form a V under just beneath the ear lobe
Mouth: When the rider opens her mouth, the buckle should feel snug on the chin and the helmet should hug the head
Before using the helmet, stand in front of the mirror and grab the helmet with both hands and twist it to the left and to the right. If the helmet fits right, the skin on the forehead will move as the helmet moves. If it does not, then the helmet is too loose and is unsafe for use and you need to start over.
About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
Just what we neededNovember 3, 2008 We bought the Giro me too helmet for our son who was 6 months old. It came with a few extra pads so we added them to the top to make the helmet sit a little higher on his head. It fits great, doesn't drop while riding, and he doesn't mind having it on. It is easily adjustable with the knob on the back. The straps were a little bit of work to get the initial fit but they will stay in place. It will grow with him and is of good quality so it was worth not getting a "dome of obedience" from wal mart. It was worth paying a little more to get a nice helmet to keep my son safe.
protect the little oneOctober 24, 2008 I really like this product for my 12 month old. Fits great and had good adjustments so the fit seems comfortable. He actually stumbled forward crawling with it on at first and it worked great. This is the first bike helmet I owned, so I needed to read the instructions for fit which was really easy to understand.
Great bike helmet for 13 month old!!October 23, 2008 I hemmed and hawed over which helmet to get out little guy. I chose this helmet and was worried it would not get small enough to fit his head securely (he's on the small side for his age - 13 months). But, the helmet adjusted easily - it fits him perfectly. We have gone on countless bike rides ( even in the FL heat) and he doesn't get to hot or mind the helmet at all. He doesn't try to take it off ( it is very light) and his head's not sweaty when I take the helmet off. I am so glad we chose this helmet. Also, the shape of the helmet sort of acts like a visor to keep the sun off my son's face (bonus!).
Good decisionOctober 18, 2008 When I first received the helmet I thought to myself that it did not look as cute as it did on the website but the moment I put it on my 13 month boy it looked absoluletly adorable. The fit was good , the straps easy to adjust and the padding looked generous. My son who normally throws down any cap on his head never complains when I put the helmet on. I do not ever see him fidget with it except on the occassional chew on the straps. The strap have a nice curvature on the buckle so it does not poke him under the chin. Overall I am happy I purchased this product along with the ibert bike seat . It did seem pricey at first but since I get good use from the helmet, its really worth it. I will recommend this helmet to anyone. It is really difficult to find bike helmets in the regular store for the 12-36 month old toddler so it was a good decision to go with the Giro infant helmet from Amazon.
Cute and Top Quality, TooSeptember 19, 2008 I thought the duck was adorable and it fits well. The first time fitting it and putting it on was a bear, but now that my little guy associates it with going on a ride, we have no trouble. I would buy it again.
