Smith kid’s helmets deliver reliable protection and comfort for growing riders. With modern safety tech and kid-friendly designs, they give young cyclists the confidence to safely explore trails or streets.
Fit and safety are priorities in a youth bike helmet, but a helmet only works if kids want to wear it. Our kids' bike helmets look cool and are packed with features. Look for MIPS® brain-impact protection in road and mountain designs.
Do kids have to wear helmets on bikes?
Yes. Wearing a helmet helps protect kids from head injuries in case of falls or collisions. Youth bike helmets are a non-negotiable part of bike safety, providing impact absorption that reduces the severity of potential injuries. Most regions also have laws or guidelines requiring children to wear helmets when riding.
How to measure a kid’s head for a helmet
Use a soft measuring tape (or a string and ruler) around the largest part of the head, about one inch above the eyebrows. Compare that measurement to the Smith size chart. Bike helmets for kids should fit snugly without pinching, and the chin strap should allow about two fingers of space to ensure comfort and security.
