Schwinn Toddler Classic Microshell Helmet

After reading reviews that this helmet was very small, I ordered it for my son who is 14 months old for use when I have him in the bike trailer. It fits him very well but would be very small if I tried it on him when he is 3 years old, I have a feeling. It is perfect for my son who has a very large head for his age (90%), but do not think it would fit a child who was "3+" as the packaging suggests. Love the helmet and the design, and is a perfect size for him so 5 stars.

I was really unsure whether to get this helmet based on the reviews about size but decided I had little choice. There were none locally that would fit a 2 year old and most of the helmets I saw on Amazon had mixed reviews, so I took a chance on this particular one because of the color and truck theme. It is the same color as the Strider balance bike we bought our 2 year old grandson, His mother said his head was 19 inches at his last check up. When I first put the helmet on it was too tight and I thought "uh oh" but then I realized the back was adjustable and I extended it almost all the way to the largest and it was perfect. I am only giving it 4 stars because the sizing does say 3+ and that is definitely misleading. I would say an average 2 year old could wear this until they are 3. It know these pics are not great. For some reason, it was hreally ard to get a good pic of him wearing it yesterday at his party, but hopefully these photos gives you some indication of the fit.

This helmet seems to be well made and was easy to adjust the fit, but unfortunately our granddaughter doesn't like wearing it. I don't think she would like wearing ANY helmet, so I don't blame the helmet. She's just not a "hat" of any kind child.

I was really disappointed in the quality of this helmet. We got it because our local stores only had pink helmets with Dora, Barbie or butterflies, OR just plain black or with obnoxious spikes/decoration on the top. Our son did not mind-he did like pink Dora, but we knew he would LOVE this one because he is obsessed with trucks and construction equipment. Anything that makes him go from just liking a helmet to wanting to wear it even he is not on a bike is a win for us. Or so I thought. When we got this I first noticed that the coloring is just a piece of heat wrapped thin plastic over the foam. There is warping on the underside where it has bubbled and is not smooth fitting along the foam. Then I noticed that there is a seam along the edge of the helmet from the top to the bottom. This is due to the black and yellow part being just a piece of washi-style tape that was stuck on somewhat unevenly. There is overlap where the tape ends to make it more secure, but because the yellow is somewhat transparent, you can see where it has doubled over the black lines. The tape was scuffed on multiple edges (the side and the back) so that it was already worn down to a white base layer. There was also scuffs in the plastic part along the sides and top. They weren't a huge deal, but if the item arrives NEW like this, I cannot imagine how long it would last under the use of my rough and tumble preschooler. He also is a kid that picks apart any defect (literally) so I am afraid that if I give him an item in this condition, the cuteness of the dump truck and loader decals will be done after just one use. I am really glad I saw this and was able to look it over before he did, because he would have been REALLY excited about it. But after seeing the quality, I just cannot justify keeping it. I would rather have a plain black one that he won't ruin after just one use. All in all, I was really surprised at the lack or quality in this. It is not that much cheaper than the ones we saw in store. It is NOTHING like how the coloring of my adult helmet by Bell is constructed. It is also very lightweight, and I am concerned that just a drop on the floor from indoor play (without even biking) will ruin the foam-safety interior. It does not feel as dense as my adult helmet either. Very disappointed overall. If you want a cute helmet just to encourage a child who already has aversion to helmet use, then maybe this would be a good option. However, that is not our situation and I would rather have a safe, lasting product than just something that is temporarily cute.

Not even close to fitting a 3 year old on his 3rd birthday. Thinking maybe I misapplied the term toddler, I did some research on the definition of toddler. It turns out that crawling vigorously and starting to walk is considered "toddler," so perhaps I'm late to the game on a bike helmet? If you are also waiting until your child is a capable of both standing and walking before propping him up on a bicycle, you may also need a different helmet size. I'm sure this item lists head sizes somewhere, so if you are clever enough to find that information, you'll be set. I'd take my hat off to you, but it's already off because it doesn't fit.

this helmet is the right size and weight for my 2 year old grandson. and the price is good. Unfortunately, he immediately removed the inner plastic ring that is supposed to make it fit better. also, its a little difficult to adjust the chin strap and the chin strap seems a little uncomfortable on him. basically, we bought a very cute helmet that he uses in the house for fun, but I don't think its safe (because of the fit and he broke it in 3 seconds) for bike, rollerblades, etc . And yes, he rides a little trike and is learning to rollerblade.

Best and easiest helmet to use!! I bought one for each of my kids (2 year old, 3.5 year old) and they still have plenty of room to grow into it. Cute designs too!!

The helmet fits my 3 year old really nice. At first we thought all the negative reviews were right as we could barely adjust the back and fit it on him.....but several people had given the head measurements for their kids and I knew my son's head (50% percentile) was supposed to fit....that's when we decide to force a bit the dial on the back that regulates the size and.....it was just stuck! now it opens full width and it fits our son perfect and there's definitely room to grow. so now I'm wondering if all the negative reviews had our same problem and didn't realize it. Overall a good buy and I'm happy we didn't send it back right away but tried again :)
