A Casco riding helmet for children must, first and foremost, fit the child’s head properly. That’s why you shouldn’t just look at age or design, but especially at head measurements, size, and fit. At Unamari, you’ll find Casco models developed specifically for children.
Casco Choice, Nori, and Starlit are great places to start when looking for a riding helmet for your child. These models are designed with children and smaller head sizes in mind, and they’re also more affordable than many of Casco’s other riding helmets. This makes them particularly appealing as a child’s first riding helmet.
However, you don’t have to limit your choice to these models. A child can also use, for example, a Casco Mistrall, Champ, or Duell, provided the model is available in the right size and fits the child’s head properly.
It may be tempting to choose a slightly larger riding helmet so the child can use it for a longer time. We do not recommend this.
The riding helmet is your child’s most important form of protection while riding, so it must fit correctly from day one. A helmet that is too large simply won’t work, despite any adjustment options available.
Instead, start by measuring your child’s head circumference and comparing the measurement to the size range for the specific Casco riding helmet. When the child is wearing the helmet, it should sit securely around the head without being uncomfortably tight or creating painful pressure points. Combine this with a safety riding vest for your child to provide the best protection while riding.
The Choice and Nori series are designed for children and smaller head sizes, combining an affordable price with the features that matter in a riding helmet. Starlit also offers a more eye-catching design if appearance matters to your child.
If none of these models provide the right fit, the next step isn’t necessarily to go up or down a size within the same model. Instead, try a different Casco model. Head shapes vary from child to child, and while an adjustable riding helmet can fine-tune the fit, it cannot change the helmet’s basic shape.
The most important thing, therefore, is to find an approved helmet that fits your child’s head correctly.
Measure your child’s head, use the size guide for each helmet, and never choose a helmet with extra room so your child can “grow into” it. Choice, Nori, and Starlit are natural places to start when looking for a children’s riding helmet, but our entire selection of Casco riding helmets may be suitable as long as the size and shape fit your child.
