Kids Helmets for Inline & Roller Skating

Is It Necessary for Kids to Wear a Skate Helmet?

Regardless of whether your child is new to skating or has been doing it for some time, a skate helmet for kids is deemed the most crucial safety gear. A child's helmet can safeguard them from severe head or brain injuries.

Unlike a bike helmet, a kids’ skate helmet completely covers the back of the head to prevent harm from backwards falls on skates. These helmets possess additional protective foam beneath the hard plastic exterior along with interchangeable padding straps for a customised fit.

How Do I Choose the Right Kids Skate Helmet?

A skate helmet must fit securely all around the head. It should not be so large that it shifts during a fall, nor so tight that it causes discomfort or headaches. To ensure the correct sizing, make sure to measure your children's heads accurately. You can do this by using a soft measuring tape to find the head circumference just above their eyes and ears. Also, ensure to consult the sizing guide for each model since brands may vary slightly in design.

Every kids' skate helmet available in this section is certified for skating, regardless of your child's style preferences. In the product descriptions, you will find the most prevalent certification labels such as EN, CPSC, and ASTM. Without going into too much detail, if a helmet is endorsed with one or more of these certifications, it is considered safe for roller and inline skating, along with skateboarding.
