Great for warm climates!

3 years ago

This is a quality bike helmet for young riders. The materials were lightweight but durable. There is ample ventilation to get some cooling airflow going, and the small visor helps block some sun and push low branches out of the way before they hit your face. The dial on the back made for easy adjustments and good security. Ours came in a cheerful blue color. Seems like the youth sizes currently only include a youth small, which is quite small. I had initially gotten the youth helmet for my 8 year old, but it was too small for him. Fit my petite 6 year old.

Plush Comfort that Breathes Well for Kids

3 years ago

The Smith Wilder Jr Mips Bike Helmet provides plush comfort for your kids' biking adventures. Previous kids' helmets always caused my son to take his helmet off frequently at every stop to cool off or scratch his head. This helmet, on the other hand, breathes well in warmer climates. This helmet fits great and provides a good, comfortable fit while providing safety. I enjoy the peace of mind with the Mips additional safety protection for my son, who likes to ride fast. The helmet looks great on both boys and girls and is easy to adjust for the back and chinstrap. It is also easy for a kid to unbuckle the helmet, while others can be challenging. This was a big selling point since other kids' helmets can be more difficult to unbuckle quickly.

Cool Runnings!

3 years ago

The Smith Wilder Jr. helmet is my son's favorite helmet. We have used several of the competitors products and this one is the most comfortable and coolest according to both my son and daughter. It is fairly easy for my 8 year old to clip off and on. Some of the other clips are harder to use on our other helmets. The overall coolest part of the helmet (pun intended) is temperature regulation. This is the coolest helmet we have tried. The kids would always overheat in the blaring sun. With this helmet and all of its open space it makes it very cool to wear. I would highly recommend this helmet and even more so if you plan on using it mostly in the warmer months.

Saved my kid's melon

1 year ago

Bought this helmet for my 4 y/o son when we got him a new bike. Within a month, he lost lost control going down a slight hill, causing a significant crash. He hit the back of his head on the pavement. The helmet covers the back of the head and protected him from a serious injury. The shell was damaged and the foam cracked through, showing how hard of a hit it was, but my son was completely unharmed. After seeing how well it protected him, I did not hesitate ordering the same helmet to replace it! Aside from the crash, you are able to adjust the straps to get them fitted properly and you can easily dial in the fit, which also contributes to the safety.

Amazing child helmet!

3 years ago

If you're looking for a high quality helmet for kids, this is it. It has features of a high quality adult helmet. It's best suited for younger children, so be sure to measure your kid's head. This helmet has fantastic ventilation. When it comes to round vs oval shape, I found it fit fairly neutral. I liked that you can adjust the vertical placement of the back retention band, which in conjunction with the dial, provided fantastic fit adjustment. Great helmet!

A full-feature helmet for kids

3 years ago

This isn’t some sore of pared down kids helmet like our kids have been in previously. Smart styling, awesome colors (as a parent I hate having to pick between sharks and unicorns and whatever else has to be printed all over kids helmets), vents, MIPS liner, nice pads, and fully adjustable fit. It’s a seriously nice helmet and my 4 year old isn’t complaining about scratching or pressure spots for the first time. Only note is that it is for more oval head shapes. Rounder heads may find the fit to be tight on the sides.

Very adjustable and comforatable

3 years ago

Our 6 year old loves this helmet. He is small for his age with his head measuring in the size chart range for the youth small. He loves the blue color and says it is cool and comfortable. We have been through 5 different kids helmets between our two boys and this is by far the best. Most kid's helmets lack the ability to adjust the temple straps. Without this adjustment some other helmets just don't seem to sit right on the kid's head. The Wilder Jr. provides the ability to adjust the length of the front and back temple straps.The ability to adjust these straps allows the depth of the chin strap to be adjusted, helping keep the chin strap from digging into the neck. There is also the ability to adjust the placement on the head easily by snapping the internal head cradle.

Stylish Helmet for Little Riders

2 years ago

I bought this helmet for my six year old little ripper. It is so cute and stylish on, and she says it’s more comfortable than her last helmet. The only downside is it fits her so perfectly that there isn’t much room for her to grow into. I wish I had bought this for her a year ago so it would last longer.

Terrific kids helmet

3 years ago

Like all things Smith this is a great helmet for my stepson. I’ve never had to remind him to wear because of how much he likes it. The blue is a great color as well. From snowboarding to biking I have 6 smith helmets and can’t imagine looking elsewhere. Smith also has great customer service for questions and warranty related issues (I broke a pair of sunglasses and they swapped them out for me). Thanks for the quality in product and customer service.
