Sports reviews of Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet
Customer Review: Buying another for my youngest!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We have the red goose one for my son who is almost 3. We (and he) LOVE it. Easy to use, not too hot & very safe. It was highly recommended by one of the bike pros here locally when we were shopping for one. I looked online and found a local bike pro shop that carried them. I wanted to see it in person.
Love it, love it, love it. My daughter just turned 1 and she's getting one as part of her birthday gift.
One reviewer said it was held together with velcro?!?!?! The chin straps run up through the helmet itself. It is not held together with velcro. The only thing on ours that is attached with velcro is the adjustable head band part. That uses velcro to attach to the padding. But the chin straps run through all of it, up behind the padding and all....and those are what hold the helmet to the baby's head. So I don't know what she was talking about.....
By the way, helmets for infants are hard to find for a reason....In the US, it's not recommended to take a baby under 1 year old on a bike or in a bike trailer. Yes, this is a light helmet, but kid's necks are not made to support the additional weight of a helmet when they are little babies. The head is hard enough to support when you consider its size in proportion to the rest of the baby's body at this age. I can't remember all the sources I found saying this, but if you look it up, you'll find lots. I sure did when researching helmets for my son when he was an infant. I read a review here saying a 6 month old screamed the whole time while wearing the helmet...maybe the poor baby's neck hurt since that's awful young to be wearing something like this on it's head.
Anyway, this is a great helmet for kids. It has grown with my son thanks to the adjustable head band. It's had a lot of use from my very active boy and is still in great shape. I'd pass it on to my daughter, but my son is still using it! So, she gets the pink bunnies. :-) I recommend it to my friends.

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
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 much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.
