Kids' Helmets

Bike and multi-sport helmets for toddlers, kids and youth riders on balance bikes, pedal bikes, scooters, skateboards and BMX tracks.

Fit matters more than looks, so measure your child's head and pick a helmet whose size range covers it, with a dial or pads for fine-tuning. Check the label for the activity, because bike and skateboard helmets are tested differently. Bell covers toddler to youth sizes, from the Pint with its Smart Lock buckle to the hard-shell Drop for BMX and skate, Raskullz adds playful character designs, some with mohawks, and Lixada's convertible helmets switch between full-face and half-shell. Find a bike to match in kids' bikes and scooters.

Brands include MOUNTALK, Raskullz and Lixada.

Kids' Helmets: frequently asked questions

Do kids have to wear a bike helmet in Canada?

In most provinces, yes. British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island require helmets for cyclists of all ages, and Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario require them for riders under 18. Quebec, Saskatchewan and the territories have no provincial or territorial helmet law, though some cities have their own bylaws.

How do I check that a kids' helmet fits?

Use Parachute's 2V1 test: the helmet sits two fingers above the eyebrows, the side straps form a V under each ear, and only one finger fits between the chin strap and the chin. A well-fitted helmet stays put when your child shakes their head. Recheck the fit each season as kids grow.

Can one helmet be used for biking and skateboarding?

Only if it is a multi-sport helmet that clearly shows it was tested for both activities. Parachute notes that skateboard helmets cover more of the back of the head and are built to protect against more than one crash, while bike helmets protect against a single impact. Replace a bike helmet after five years, or after any crash where the head hit.
