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.
Sports reviews of Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet
Customer Review: WAY CUTE!!! and kids love it too!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I believe we bought my daughter the toddler version when she was about a yr old. She got the one with the bunnies. Everyone comments on it. So cute!!! She will be 4 this fall and today snapped it on before riding on her scooter. I love that both our 5 yr old son and 3 yr old have grown up with these helmets and it is second nature to put them on. our 5 yr old son put his on today also before getting on his John deer pedal tractor. They wear their helmets anytime they get on something with wheels.Thats the rule. My baby is 7 months and i am ordering one for him also.My kids never complain about them. It helps my husband and I always wear helmets. The kids get very disturbed when they see others not wearing helmets!
Enjoy
Customer Review: Great infant/toddler helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I LOVE this helmet. My son started wearing it when he was slightly less than 1 year. The adjustable dial at the back of the harness makes it very easy to get a good fit. He is now 2 1/2 years and it looks like he will be wearing the helmet for at least another year to come. The straps do take some time to adjust the first time this is done, but one this is done once it won't need to be done again, or at least for a long time. My son wasn't too crazy about wearing the helmet at first, but that's not the helmet's fault. After reinforcing helmet use and wearing my own helmet when we bike, he learned that wearing a helmet is necessary and now wears his happily. I'm looking forward to buying the new blue design for my second infant son.Customer Review: Great fit, design & protection

Bought this helmet for my daughter when we wanted to take her in the bike trailer. I purchased it from a local bike shop for around $35. The Giro helmet seemed to be lighter weight & less clunky than the Bell and other kids helmets.
She was a bit below the minimum head size but the helmet snugged right up. Only issue was riding in the trailer the helmet would push forward if she rested her head on the headrest.
Now that she's about 8 months older it fits perfectly. She loves her helmet and insists on putting it on before we go for a ride. Ample vents keep her head cool on warm days. Have to love the pink bunnies too.

Customer Review: Better than I expected
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was quite pleased with some of the fitting options of this helmet when I first used it on my 1year old.
Once the straps were adjusted to their proper positioning, I wondered how I'd get the helmet on snuggly.
I was sooo happy to find the little knob in the back that loosens and tightens once the helmet is on and buckled.
Speaking of buckle, though the guide is a little tricky to work with, it's worth the extra hassle for me because it means no pinched chin for baby.
I'm VERY happy with this helmet and would recommend it to others or buy it again.
Customer Review: Just what we needed

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.
