What age is the helmet for? I don't want to know if it fits your child, I want to know what age safety wise it is rated for.

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

Purchased for 3 year old birthday. He is ~75% for head size and it fits just fine. He took a spill over his handlebars and helmet did it's job.

This helmet fits my three year old who is on the smaller side. It is adjustable so it looks like he will be wearing it for a while.

I would say the padding makes the helmet tolerable for the 95% of the time it is not protecting from an impact. Understandable it is the 5% of the time you are concerned but, Personally I would get the larger helmet and add in pads to make it fit more snugly. These pads do make it possible for a larger helmet to fit and you can adjust pretty well by using them. Also, this will allow you to maintain the helmet longer simply by removing pads as the child gets bigger.

Not sure the average age range. But my daughter got this at 3-4 years old and fit good she is 5 and still fits perfect. Hope this helps. We love this helmet.

My three year old and 10 year old wear it without problems. It's Velcro, so it adjusts to all different sizes. I haven't noticed it to be nearly too small for my 10 year old, so I would say you are fairly safe for any child.

I am not sure... by all means it is a good and sturdy helmet. My son uses it for skateboarding and I think he is well protected.

I haven't tried a helmet. My child is only 11 months. I believe it would work though.

Mine is an xl so I would think that a three year old would need a small or extra small. The best helmet that money can buy. The straps can cinch it down as well. If need be just add some foam cushioning if it's a little bit too big.

I bought it for my 8 year old grandson. I checked with my son-in-law and he said it comes with extra padding so you probably could add the padding to make the helmet fit. I would make sure I could return it in case it doesn't fit. You might look at roller skate kits for kids. I bought a set of roller skates that came with helmet, knee pads for my granddaughter when she was four. I think Fisher Price made them but I'm not sure.

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!

Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs. My daughter was 18 months and 21 lbs when we started using one - so weight-wise your daughter will be fine but the hard part might be finding a helmet that fits. We had to adjust the smallest one we could find even smaller for her (average size - 50% percentile) head. The 12 month age recommendation is probably for head/neck control - much like a forward facing car seat the main concern is safety in the event of an accident. The "seat" itself is more like a hammock or sling - just a piece of fabric - so if the child can't sit up properly the seat won't work well.

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.

I bought it for my one year old but she has not yet used it. Please do buy helmet and pads and keep a strict eye.

It depends more on neck strength. You should check with your doctor to get guidelines. My ped had cleared my son to ride in one at 6 months but I didn't feel comfortable putting him in it yet because keep in mind, they need to be able to sit up and have strong control of their head with a helmet on. I've heard its safest to wait til they're a year old but yeah check with your doc.

We purchased the helmets for our four year old sons. However, they do fit our six year old daughter. She is smaller for her age but I would think it would work.

Sorry I can't say for sure? It's a child's helmet & somewhat adjustable. It fits my 10 year old granddaughter just fine.

My son tried this on in the store and we were not able to get the box kit because the helmet was to tight. He's 12 years old, 5'4" and 145lbs. Hope that helps with decision making.

The suggested age in the product description says 4-8 years. But I knew that my child was physically capable and purchased it at 2 1/2. We do enforce a helmet and knee/elbow pad rule when using it.
