Baby bike helmet - The first bike ride

As a parent, you want to protect your child as much as possible. For the same reason, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child wears a helmet, whether as a passenger or on his/her own bike. Not sure which baby bike helmet to choose for your 0-3 year old? It can be a jungle of brands and prices when choosing the first bike helmet for your child, which has to be both smart and approved.

Find an approved baby bike helmet for the first bike ride

Show your baby the natural thing by wearing a bike helmet. You should set a good example so that the bike helmet becomes a natural part of your everyday life. Children mirror their parents, so it will also be easier for your child to accept wearing a helmet. For example, if your baby is sitting in the bike seat, a situation can quickly arise where the helmet is a necessity.

 

How to find the right baby bike helmet for your baby

This means it meets European standards. Read more at https://www.sikkertrafik.dk/raad-og-viden/paa-cykel/cykelhjelm

 

Correct adjustment of the baby bike helmet

When you start putting on your baby's bike helmet, the neck buckle should be loosened so that the helmet adjusts correctly to the baby's head. Then tighten the buckle to secure the helmet. The side buckles should be adjusted so that they sit about 1 cm below the earlobes, so a strap on each side of the ears is important. The chin strap itself should be firmly attached, but with room for 1-2 fingers from the chin to the strap.
