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: All-in-all a great buy!
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I like this helmet since it does not stick out as far in the back as other helmets. My 13-month-old son has a hard time drinking his water (tilting his head back)but a lot of that is due to the trailer. I like that the helmet will grow with him. I really wasn't sure how to size it with the pads provided. There were no instructions on how the helmet should fit him (maybe that is self explanatory but I'm one of those that would like/need instructions to be sure I'm doing it correctly). All-in-all a great buy!Customer Review: stays put!

I bought this helmet for our 13 month old. We tried so many other helmets that seemed to slide on her head. This was the first helmet to fit just right. She always wants to put it on when she sees it! We are enjoying bike rides as a family now. I would totally recommend trying this helmet.Customer Review: Love it!!

I bought this helmet for my 2.5 year old daughter, and she loves it! She is small for her age but the helmet fits great. (She looks adorable in it, too.) She likes to put it on to ride her bike.Customer Review: Lives up to expectations
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Fairly easy adjustment -- the chin "pinch" guards are a nice touch, as are the vent screens to prevent bugs or other debris getting inside the helmet. Customer Review: Toddler Helmet
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is adorable. Rated #2 in safety in tests. (Chose this one because the #1 helmet, the Bell Boomerang, has a long part in the back so the child can't put their head back in a high seat.) Not sure if it's meant to be a "girl" helmet, but I got the yellow chicks one for my 20-month-old son, and it doesn't look girly (just wasn't as crazy about the blue or red). Seems safe and easy to adjust (LOVE the back wind-thing to adjust tightness-it's super easy). Overall I am very happy with this helmet, I had originally purchased one from Target (forget the brand) and it didn't seem half as safe and nice as this one. Would definitely recommend.
