It has always baffled me that many of us are willing to spend hundreds of dollars or pounds protecting our own heads, but rarely put much thought into purchasing one of the best kids' bike helmets, myself included. My son's first two helmets were both purchased because they happened to coincide with a significant discount. Although I did put some thought into his current Specialised Camber MIPS, it's certainly not perfect.
Having what is effectively an extra-small adult helmet has raised unexpected complications; for example, he can’t do the chin fastening himself or adjust the band dial. While the helmet fits him well, Specialized don’t appear to scale the peak, which means it sticks out considerably, making it look like a hand-me-down.
