I bought mine for my then 9yo and they fit fine. I doubt they would size down enough to securely fit an infant. I believe there is an infant version, and I can't help but wonder if the wrong product was reviewed.

My son was 8 years old when he got his. They fit just fine. In my opionion they adjust to small enought for just about any child but not infant.

Then just buy him the adult ones. They are exactly the same except the band hokds these a little tighter so they can fit on babies too. Adult size ones will fit your kidand they have options for the kni bs that turn on audio so you can block loud noises and still hear people talk clearly. Our adult peltors have those and we love them

I use it for my three year old and fits him fine. I can put it on my head too, i think the big difference it adjust to a smaller size than an adult set.

My son's head circumference is 20.5". I bought a size small and have it laced in the back all the way closed. This fits well on him and allows for growth. From USABarnettSports website (where I got sizing info. originally): Large 23.5" Medium 22.5" Small 21.5" X-Small 20.5" I interpreted the sizing to suggest that it was the largest head that would fit, and so I went up to the small (21.5") instead of the x-small (20.5").

I bought S/M for a 10 yrs/old and it fits perfectly (with some space for head growth since the helmet is adjustable). I would think for 5 yr/old she needs either xS or a S - you need to measure her head and look at the sizing chart. Good luck!

They are adjustable. They fit my just turned 6 year old great and can fit an adult adjusted....I would say age 4 or 5 and up.

It says 5+. Because of these answers, I bought it for a 4 year old with a large head, and it doesn't fit.

I was wondering the same thing but if you visit their website, then it tells you how to measure their heads. I just measured my almost 9 year old sons head and he is a 21 1/2. Measure right above the eye brows. My son would be an xtra large youth.

i don't know if it would fit a 5 year old kid. Most small adult helmets will fit if tightened up and they can grow into it. Unless the kid has a melon head. in that case, it could be too small. lol

Every kid's different. I bought my six year old (a bit bigger than normal) a medium and he instantly complained that it hurt his head. I measured -- which I should've done in the first place -- and he's more like an XL. Big headed kid I guess...

Hello Karen, I'll try to help you out as much as I can. I forgot when I purchased this helmet, maybe on your screen it'll tell you that info but unfortunately it doesn't say on my end. My son turned 11yrs in Feb and he's of average size. Just yesterday we used this helmet and another same size helmet for him and his 5 cousins ages 7-13yrs for go-karting and they weren't complaining at all. So I assume they did fit. About a month ago my nephew used it and he's 17yrs but we had pulled off some of the inside paddingt which are held together by buttons. To tell you the truth, it is a good quality helmet if your using it in light/mild activities. I wouldn't trust it so much if he used it for motorcycling. Another factor is that you can't beat the price. Then again, you can't put a price on the safety of kids. I hope this helps. Good Luck! Duane M.

The helmet package says 5+. The next size starts at 8, I think. It fits my 4 year old perfectly.

No... these headphones are only for pinheads. Just kidding, I wear a size xl motorcycle helmet and these are plenty big for me. I bought a second set for my son... he's 10 and these will fit his little head too. The only thing that I find too small about these is the earcups, they are on the small side... but they fit my son perfect and he says they are his favorite pair.

I've been riding/training for the past 55 yrs. Highly recommend this helmet. Experience tells me that you should go with a medium. Since your son is only 9 he has some growing to do. That is not to say that you won't need to purchase another one in a few years, to be on the safe side. Everything wears out. Just like the girth straps on a saddle. Hope this helps. This is what I use and have gotten for my grand sons. NJ Kelley

I believe on the helmet packaging stated 5+.....we just bought this for our daughter, who just turned 6, and it fit fine on the tightest settings. She has a normal sized head, too, by the way, hahaha. I hope this helps!

Yes adults can wear them as well. I just put them on my head and they fit great. I do have a smaller head than the average adult, but I do think they fit me better than my 4 year old. It is a larger sized headband and not a toddler size. Hope this helps!

I honestly don't know much about hat sizes, and this was a gift for my father. I was able to find the "adult size" measurements on the manufacturers website. Adult Size: 56-64cm, 22-25.25in. This will show you their sizing options in a chart: http://www.outdoorcap.com/Hunting/images/SizeCharts.jpg Hope that helps!

My daughter is 18 and she has a small/medium - though she is a smaller framed person. She has had this size headgear since she was in 7th grade. I hope this helps.

It's one sizes fits all for kids maybe 7 and under. If was a little loose on our grandson that was 5. The two that are 3 it very loose.The chin strap helps. It's a great helmet and jersey. The 3 grandsons love them. You can maybe modify it by adding pads. For the price and the quick delivery you will be very happy.
