Before purchasing a kids horse riding helmet, you should consider how big your child’s head is. Most children grow rapidly and they should choose a lightweight, unbulky helmet that’s comfortable and lightweight. You can use a measuring tape to determine the size of your child’s head. Make sure that the tape is a little above their eyebrow. Most helmets are round or oval, so you can make sure that your child is wearing the right one for their growing head.

Purchasing a kids horse riding helmet is an important investment. Remember your child’s hairstyle can affect how the helmet fits. A low ponytail or single braid at the base of the head are ideal, as is a simple single braid down the center of the back. Some parents also opt to buy a round helmet for their child, which makes it easier to fit in. However, you can’t expect a child’s hair to be completely free of bulk and will cause the helmet to feel uncomfortable.

Choosing the right helmet depends on several factors, including the child’s preference and the amount of money you’re willing to spend. Most helmets are made from durable materials and can withstand bumps and falls. They are prone to becoming uncomfortable, so a flexible measuring tape or a ruler can help you choose the correct size. If you are buying a helmet online, make sure the size is the same as what your child wears and in many cases you might want to consider going one size higher.
