I'm a little confused on the sizing. It says ages 13+ but many reviews are from parents of very young children. I'm looking to buy these for a 5 year old with a large head. He wears a size 8+ bike helmet and his head size is the same as mine, and I'm...

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.

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

Consider it a small size. My son is also 5 yrs old it's good on him but he has a small head. I hope it helped :)

I have bought 3 helmets. In all three cases, I had to do some homework. Go to the manufacturer's website and get the sizing. Then have someone help you measure your head. It's always better to go a little bigger as long as it is adjustable in the back and there is an adjustable chin strap. Don't just think it will say men's women's or children's. I bought my then 11 yr old son a men small that fit him perfect.

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").

My 7 year old head is on the small side and this is way too big/loose for him. I would think the adult size is still too loose even for the biggest headed 6-7 year old. But the youth may be too small. I've not seen the youth so I can't say.

As far as the fit, I would say that it is unisex. I think that most helmets are unisex, unless of course they are the ones with printed "My Little Ponies" or flowers or something like that. (Although if that's what a boy likes and he doesn't care what anyone else thinks, he can go for those, too!) I have only seen one boy take lessons at our stable and I believe he has this helmet in black. We did not confer with anyone there, but it turns out that we have seen several other people with this same helmet. It seems to be very popular. My 13 year old daughter (who is 5'9") absolutely loves this helmet. We had a Troxel before this. As far as the fit, I would say that it is unisex.

My 5 year old got the medium and its a touch large so you will likely want to go with Small. Best thing you can do is go to a website called Hockeygiant and they list how to measure her head and what size fall under what helmet.

I bought a large and two mediums. The medium fits my 9 year old granddaughter, well, but is a little too big for the 5 year old. I should've gotten a small for her. However, she is a very small girl. The 9 year old is skinny but has a bigger head. I guess it depends on the size of the child's head. I can wear the medium but, I also have a smaller sized head than most. Hope this helps:)

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

The helmet should fit fine, but the pads may be a little big. My 4 year old is the size of a 5 year old and there were slightly big on him, but they may work because they have velcro straps. I think they are worth a try.

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...

I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart. I bought this for him and it fits him nicely. It fits my almost 5 year old too, so I ended up buying two. Its a slightly different shape than other bike helmets (this is a little rounder than typical bike helmets), which actually works better for my 2.5 year old son. They used them for most of the summer, left them out in the rain at times and they are both in really good shape - the decal hasn't peeled or scraped off and the buckles and foam have held up well. I would recommend this. I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart.

I've had over 15 kids now use the Ride Safer version 2 Size Large between ages 8-12. For most averaged sized children under age: 8 I would recommend the size small. However age is not so much a factor but rather the weight and size of each child. I've had some larger 9 year old's that have outgrown the size large where as I've had other 12 year old's that still fit in it just fine. I would say that the weight recommendations for the vest set by the manufacturer are pretty accurate: Size Small for children at least 3 years & 30-60 lbs and Size Large for children 50-80 lbs.

I bought them for my 3 & 5 year old grandsons last Christmas. The 5 year old has a big head too, and the hard hats still fit them and their 11 year old sister! Go for it! They love them!!!
