My son is 8 and suffered a concussion last month. We are prepping to get him back to light practice and I want to purchase this for him. Can you tell

The product provides a cushion for the repeated heading in a typical soccer session or game. I trust that you have medical clearance to proceed. Always monitor how your child feels after playing. Confidence in heading the ball is a part of it and the product hopefully will also help restore that.

I bought this for both of my girls. They can head the ball better. It gives me peace of mind knowing the impact is dispersed with the band. It's a good product. I would recommend getting one especially if your child has already had a concussion.

My daughter has been wearing one for the past 5 years due to a concussion. She is now 19 and is playing in college. LOVE this item as it not only protects her, she heads the ball with precision.

I don't know. But my kid is. 21/2 and I have seen four year olds play with it with ease

Hi John,Yes, right. The description doesn't have the information. As far as I remember, the age printed in the product tag was 7~8. (I don't remember exactly). My daughter is 5 and the helmet is a bit big for her. We added extra padding inside the helmet.Hope this helps!Dookun

Nothing can totally prevent concussions. Football helmets, Safer barriers in auto racing, etc. But these things, including this headband, can reduce the change of a concussion. A high forehead to high forehead hit in soccer (not uncommon) will be much less dangerous with this one - and even more so if both players had one on. But at the end of the day it depends on the total energy and direction of hits and while padding will absorb some of the energy, it cannot take all of it. My daughter plays soccer and I got her this after a concussion (and after being cleared to play by doc and by our own observation). It makes me feel a little better and I think it gave her confidence to go out there and play Nothing can totally prevent concussions.

My son was almost three when I purchased this toy for him. He loved it, however, I would not recommend buying as it is extremely lound and not good for the kids' hearing. We eventually took it away as I was worried it may hurt my son's hearing. I hope that this helps.

My son is 4 years old, also tall and weighs up there and I bought the maxi micro for him prior to his 4th b-day and an excellent buy. He was very clumsy prior to purchasing the maxi and he is such a pro on this and no accidents in the half of year we have owned it. My advice go for the maxi and I am sure you will be glad you did.

I purchased the helmet or my grandson. I will have to ask him and get back to you. It may take a few days.

I bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.

If the child can hold up their head with a helmet on, it will work fine. My kids didn't fall into that category at that age, but all kids are different.

for a child under 4 years do not think so but the helmet is lightweight for that age he weighed

the way it works is icing and vibrating - both distract the brain from painful stimuli - it would be safe for 6 month old - I wish I got it earlier for my kids (started using at age 5)

I'm not sure of the age. We returned ours and purchases a different buzz light year helmet. This one didn't fit as well as the other one we purchased. Here is the link of the one we kept. Bell Toddler's Toy Story Star Commander Bike Helmet

I feel it would be. My son was 12 at the time he purchased it. We did notice an improvement in reaction time and better form due to the low weight to size ratio. Like anything tho good , dedicated practice and good equipment is key to improvement. My son is smaller than most 12 year olds on his team and I truly feel this bat was a big help for him

Hi, sorry for the delay. I haven't given the helmet to my child yet, therefore, I can't answer your question. I bought it based on he information provided.

I bought mine for my 10 yr old so hard to say. The reason I bought this one was for as few times as she is on my sportbike and never at any serious speed I figured she would grow out of it within 6-12 months and didnt want to spend $150-$300 on a Dot an Snell approved Shoei or Agv etc. She has no complaints about helmet and loves that it fits and the colors.

I suppose it depends on how much area you have. How much damage to your home you are willing to sustain and protecting your child from falling through glass or down a stairwell. That being said I allowed my son to ride in the house. I found that he was more willing to use it when he rode in the house and outdoors. He became proficient in 3 weeks.

Yes, I think so. It is fairly heavy duty, but that's a good thing. If you train the 8 yr old and revisit every few months they should be fine. Keep in mind that the 8 yr old will be 9 next year and 10 the year after, etc. You are buying this product for an emergency that may come years in the future or never at all. I would say, yes, get it. You'll sleep better with the peace of mind.
