Children's Helmets for Inline & Roller Skating

Is a Skate Helmet Necessary for My Children?

Regardless of whether your child has just begun skating or has been practising for a while, a children's skate helmet is viewed as the most crucial piece of protective gear. A helmet for kids can safeguard them against severe head or brain injuries.

Unlike a bike helmet, skate helmets for children completely cover the back of the head to prevent injuries in the event of a backward fall. These helmets include added protective foam under a hard plastic outer layer and feature interchangeable padding straps for the best fit.

How Do I Choose the Right Skate Helmet for My Child?

It's important that a skate helmet fits snugly across the entire head. Avoid helmets that are oversized or move around, as this might cause them to shift position during a fall. A helmet that is too small can lead to discomfort and headaches. To determine the right size, ensure you measure your children's head sizes accurately by using a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference just above their eyes and ears. Furthermore, make sure to consult the sizing guide for each individual model, as helmet designs can vary slightly between brands.

All children’s skate helmets available in this category come with certifications specific to skating, regardless of your child's preferred style. In the product details, you'll find the commonly used certification labels such as EN, CPSC, and ASTM. Without going into too much detail, a helmet with one or more of these certifications is safe for use in roller and inline skating, as well as skateboarding.
