Kids' Helmets for Inline and Roller Skating

Is It Necessary for Children to Wear a Skate Helmet?

Regardless of whether your child is new to skating or has been practising for years, a kids' skate helmet is regarded as critical protective gear. This helmet is capable of preventing serious brain or head injuries for your loved ones.

Unlike a bike helmet, a kids' skate helmet provides full coverage of the back of the head to prevent injuries from backward falls during skating. It comes with additional protective foam beneath the hard plastic exterior and features interchangeable padding straps to ensure the best fit.

Essential Features to Consider in a Kids' Skate Helmet

Ensure the skate helmet fits snugly on the head. It should not be oversized or prone to shifting, as this could lead to misalignment during a fall. Conversely, a helmet that is too tight can lead to discomfort and headaches. To determine the ideal size, measure the circumference of your child’s head just above the eyes and ears using a soft measuring tape. Don't forget to refer to the sizing guide for each model, as helmet designs vary by brand.

All children's skate helmets available in this section are skating-certified, applicable to whatever style your child engages in. The product descriptions list common certifications like EN, CPSC, and ASTM. In simple terms, helmets with one or more of these certifications are safe for roller and inline skating, in addition to skateboarding.
