Adults & Kids Scooter Helmets
If your child was riding a bike, chances are you’d buy them a helmet, but helmets for scooter are a less common purchase. They shouldn’t be! Most kids love travelling to school and back on their scooters and it can certainly speed things up for the parent who has to walk alongside. The kids might even carry their own backpack if they have the pleasure of zipping along the pavement. However, all parents will recognise the feelings of anxiety, panic and fear when their child goes too fast or takes a tumble off their scooter. No parent wants to see their child get hurt and every parent does everything in their power to ensure that their child doesn’t come to harm. Kids scooter helmets can do a lot to help ease your worries.

Scooter Helmets Australia - FAQ
Why is wearing a helmet important when riding a scooter?
Wearing a helmet is crucial when riding a scooter as it can help prevent serious head injuries in the event of an accident. Scooter riders, especially those who ride at high speeds or perform stunts, are at risk of falls and collisions, which can result in head trauma. A scooter helmet can help absorb the impact and protect the rider's head from injury.
It's important to choose a scooter helmet that is specifically designed for scooter riding as it provides additional protection and is better equipped to handle the unique risks associated with the sport. Wearing a helmet should be a top priority for anyone who rides a scooter, regardless of their skill level or experience.
How do I choose the right size helmet for me?
Choosing the right size scooter helmet is crucial to ensure maximum protection and comfort. To determine the correct size, you should measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows and ears using a measuring tape. Once you have your head circumference measurement, you can consult the size chart provided by the helmet manufacturer.
It's important to choose a scooter helmet that fits snugly but is not too tight and does not move or shift when you shake your head. The helmet should also sit level on your head and cover your forehead without obstructing your vision. It's recommended to try on several helmets before making a purchase to ensure you find the right fit for your head shape and size.
Can I wear a bicycle helmet instead of a scooter helmet?
While bicycle helmets and scooter helmets may look similar, they are designed to provide different types of protection. Scooter helmets are designed to provide more coverage and protection to the face and chin, which are areas that are more susceptible to injury when riding a scooter.
Bicycle helmets, on the other hand, are designed to provide protection against impacts to the top and sides of the head. While it may be tempting to wear a bicycle helmet when riding a scooter, it's not recommended as it may not provide adequate protection in the event of an accident. It's important to choose a helmet that is specifically designed for the activity you will be participating in to ensure maximum protection and safety.
How often should I replace my scooter helmet?
It's recommended to replace your scooter helmet every 3-5 years, even if it has not been involved in an accident. Over time, the materials used in the helmet may degrade, reducing its ability to absorb impact and protect your head. Additionally, regular wear and tear, exposure to sweat, and exposure to sunlight can all contribute to the deterioration of the helmet's materials.
If your helmet has been involved in an accident, it should be replaced immediately, even if there are no visible signs of damage. The impact from an accident can compromise the scooter helmet’s ability to provide protection, even if there are no visible cracks or damage. It's important to prioritise your safety by regularly inspecting and replacing your helmet as needed.
