Helmet Check and Fit

Step-by-step helmet fit checks you can do with an adult.

Steps to Follow

1

Place the helmet level on your head (not tipped back).

It covers my forehead.

2

Tighten the fit so it doesn’t wiggle.

No big wobble when I shake my head.

3

Buckle the strap and ask an adult to check it.

Strap is snug under my chin.

4

Do a quick ‘two-finger’ comfort check under the chin strap.

Comfortable and secure.

5

Before mounting, double-check buckle and strap.

Buckled and ready.
