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 musch 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: better helmet for 16 month old child
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
My son did not like the helmet we bought at Target which stuck out at the back near the neck preventing him from keeping his head upright during bike rides and causing him to cry. This helmet provided a flat surface so he could keep his head upright and he now enjoys bike rides in the carrier.Customer Review: awesome youth bike helmet

I love this helmet! I love how you can adjust it to fit with the dial setting. It is easy to use; and it is made well. I think we will get at least a couple of years use from this helmet. Great product!Customer Review: best toddler bike helmet

This bike helmet is perfect for my 18 month old to ride in her bike trailer. The infant helmet was too small and the next size up too big. This helmet has a dial in the back that you can adjust to make it larger or smaller--great for growing kids! The pink bunnies are a hit too--she will wear it around the house sometimes just for fun!Customer Review: Good Helmet

I was looking for a helmet for my 1 year old. After reading reviews on Amazon, I choose this one. It is a very nice helmet and adjusts easily. he doesn't mind wearing it. Customer Review: Not pleased

We bought this helmet for our 10 month old who rides in the kiddy seat behind my bike. When she leans back, the helmet flops down over her face like a face mask. It doesn't matter how tight we squeeze it, it's just never comfortable and always ends up over her face. We think this has to be more dangerous than riding without a helmet at all. We've looked into other companies and nobody seems to make a helmet designed to work well with child seats
