Customer reviews

How long the helmet will fit depends on how fast your child’s head grows. This little nugget is now 4.5 and can still comfortably and safely wear the Small Scamp while riding her pedal bike. We anticipate needing a new helmet by age 5.

We’ve tested the Scamp on many kids, and XS is a perfect first helmet for many babies and toddlers while the size Small typically fits our testers from ages 2.5 to 5. At its smallest setting (45 cm), the XS was ideal for our 12-month-old tester to use in the trailer and child bike seats, but by the time she was 2.5 we had to move her up to the Small size. The Scamp’s optional MIPS technology adds an additional layer of safety to kids’ helmets. The foam core of a helmet protects a child from direct impact but does not protect from rotational injuries. The interior pads are typically machine-washable, so wash them occasionally to prevent odor from building up. Don’t put them in the dryer, though, since that will break them down fast. Let them air dry instead. As we mentioned before, the flat-rear design of the Scamp gives it pretty coverage of the head, which is a plus. The plenty of space ensures that the helmet wraps around the head of the child well. The flat rear profile works magic even when the child rides on bike seats or trailers. Comfort and Fit The fit is all that matters when it comes to a kids’ helmet. Once a helmet is fit it becomes snug as well. You probably have heard of the bad experiences parents who buy their kids poor-quality helmets have. Without the right fit, you can never win the war of convincing your child to wear them. It was there before almost impossible to come across perfect-fit kids’ bike helmets, mostly due to poor construction and not-so-focused kid-specific design. Today, kids’ bike helmets come in a range of kid-specific designs and features. They are snug, beautiful, slim, and lighter than the old generation.It is a bi-layer helmet protection system found in the inner layers of the helmet. It comprises a low-friction plastic liner where the head of the rider rests. The MIPS technology absorbs most of the impact in a crash. The Giro Scamp features the Roc. Loc. Jr fit system that is perfectly shaped to warp around the child’s head. Due to years of research and testing, the Giro Scamp has impressive features, including the dial-adjust system and the MIPS technology, which drive comfort home.

The lightweight Giro Tremor is now available in a smaller size! Designed to fit the smaller heads of baby shredders, the Giro Tremor Child has a 47 – 54 cm head circumference range, and is more narrow and a bit less bulky than its big brother. system can protect a user from all injuries and user assumes all risks, including all risks of bodily Ultimately, you’re going to see helmet visors much more often in off-road applications like mountain biking than on the tarmac, where cyclists tend to opt for sunglasses. How We Selected The Best Bike HelmetsWe are sure it will thrill your preschoolers and toddlers straight from the box. It is among the best unboxing experience they can ever have. Ventilation made by Mips. Warning: the Mips system in a helmet has been positioned in accordance with specifications The Giro Scamp adjusts via the chin straps and a rear dial-adjust. We love the dial-adjusts on kids helmets as they help get the fit just right, and allow the helmet to grow as your child does.

The Scamp XS is unique because it’s one of the smallest bike helmets available. The only helmet that is the same size or smaller (that we’ve been able to find) is the Schwinn Infant, with a minimum head size of 44 cm. It is, however, significantly lower quality than the Scamp. Best used in: Recreational cycling (Good for toddlers and preschoolers for both cyclist and those riding in bike trailers) AS: There are two reasons to replace a helmet, first and foremost being because you crashed with it. Helmets are designed to crumple (much like the front end of your car), and they’re effectively useless afterward—better the helmet than your head, though.

Full Technical Specs of the Giro Scamp

The secret to MIPS is a thin plastic shell inside the helmet that is connected to the helmet’s protective foam core with flexible anchors. When under force, these anchors stretch to allow the helmet to rotate around the head upon impact.A video and explanation of MIPS in action can be seen here. In our tests, we found that the plastic liner of MIPS, which sits close to the skin, does tend to slightly limit the overall breathability of the helmet. While the plastic liner DOES NOT cover up any vents, sweat does tend to adhere to it. As a result, for those living in really hot climates, the non-MIPS version may be worth considering.
