Is this a youth's helmet? Will it protect a child playing football?

Yes it's a youth helmet. However it will not provide contact protection. Ok to wear while tossing ball but no contact.

No, Do not let a child use it as a football helmet. Even though it has padding it is not safe to use. It is for show

Absolutely NOT! This helmet is plastic, meant for paintball and airsoft ONLY. This piece will not save your life. Also, if you have a small head, you will have a hard time fitting into this.

No, this helmet is just a souvenir. It would be even too small to fit on a babies head.

No, but it has an adjustable headband in the crown, so the helmet doesn't really need padding. It's a little small for adults, though.

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.

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.

Yes, I got one for my son...he's 9 and it fits him great, must add tho...he's got a big head as well, so u may won't to get a smaller size for him..but the helmet is a dang good deal, and a dang good helmet for dirt bikes and such..its a great buy..and has extra stuff that comes with it like gloves and goggles

You don't say how old you are, so it is difficult to answer the question. My daughter is 15, but small, and the helmet fits her very well

Yes my daughter plays competitive soccer and wears her head protection at all games and practices for that matter since sustaining a concussion. Never a problem.

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

Hi Marcy....Yes, I think this would be a perfect helmet for him to carry....the opening would probably be too small for even a small child to put their head in, but perfect for a prop....and it is very light also....hope this helps...Gwen Aquinto

Sorry, no it does not. Still a very nice Jersey and helmet for the price. Good quality from the jersey to the helmet. NOT for serious play!

Weight, no problem. As for fit, if the child's helmet has air vents that you can thread the elastic through then it should be no problem. If no vents, there may also be a stick-on mounting option, but I don't remember.

Yes, the helmet will fit a 12 year old. I got this for my Nephew's son who is 5 years old and our nephew is 35 years old and is able to put the helmet on, so I am sure it will fit. I was really surprised on what a bargain it is, it does not look cheap at all! Hope that helps!!

I think that totally depends. .. my little guy is an acrobat, he stands on it and has yet to fall and injure himself... I'm guessing it's a good practice to get a young child adjusted to using a helmet though. ..

Yes. This helmet is one of the best I've seen. It has a dial in the back to adjust to kids heads perfectly. I have this one for a 9 year old girl and the boy version for a 6 year old boy. I believe it adjusts from 16" to 24".

I personally haven't weighed it but it's pretty light weight as compared to an older child's helmet. My girls never have an issue.
