Kids' skateboard helmets are essential pieces of safety equipment, and you shouldn't let your child skate without one. The great thing about modern kids' skateboard helmets is that they don't hinder your young grommet's progress. But it will be there to protect them when they get a bit too sendy.

These days, most skate parks don't allow you in unless you wear a helmet and pads, even if you're a pro. So it's best to ensure your child has a comfortable and well-fitting skateboard helmet.

How To Buy Kid's Skateboard Helmets

Safety Laws

Skateboard helmet safety laws vary throughout the U.S. Some states require kids under a certain age to always skate with a helmet. But states like California require anyone under 18 years old to wear a CPSC-certified helmet whenever they're skating.

If you're caught violating these laws, your punishment will range from a warning to a fine. But every time you get caught, your fine will increase.

However, your kid's skateboard helmet has to meet ASTM regulations. So, before you buy a helmet, you like the look of, check to see if it checks the box.

Size And Fit

Kids' skateboard helmets are pretty much useless if they don't fit properly. If they're too small, they will be uncomfortable and not provide enough coverage. Too big, they will fall off or move, exposing their head.

Therefore, you need to measure your future Tony Hawk's head to ensure their helmet fits them properly.

How To Measure For Kid's Skateboard Helmets

Like most things, kid's skateboard helmets are sized slightly differently from brand to brand. Manufacturer websites typically have a sizing chart to help you, but you still need to know the size of your child's head. 

Wrap a tape measure around your little skater's forehead just above the ears and eyebrows. This is because the helmet will sit low on the forehead for optimum coverage.

Make sure you keep the tape measure level all the way around the head but don't make it too tight or too loose. It's best to note the size in centimeters and inches to cover all sizing standards.

The Anatomy Of Kid's Skateboard Helmets

Shell

Kids' skateboard helmets have a hard exterior shell. This is bonded to a layer of foam designed to absorb impacts. The hard shell protects the foam from damage and slides along hard surfaces, so the helmet doesn't get caught up on anything during a fall.

EPS Foam Liner

Kids' skateboard helmets should have an EPS foam liner. This material is lightweight and makes up the inner part of the helmet inside the shell. The foam disperses the shock of impacts, protecting the head.

Some EPS liners are designed for multiple impacts, while others are only suitable for one. Kids' skateboard helmets need an EPS liner to be certified and provide more protection than 2-stage foam.

Helmets with 2 stage foam liners are uncertified. This means that they protect your head from minor impacts but won't disperse the energy of an impact as well as an EPS liner.

Comfort Liners 

The comfort liner is the padding inside the helmet that conforms to your head. This makes the helmet comfortable and fit correctly.

Some comfort liners have moisture-wicking properties to enhance comfort and dry quickly. These are often removable, so you can wash them and prevent the helmet from stinking.

Ventilation 

Good kids' skateboard helmets have some kind of ventilation built-in. This will consist of strategically placed holes that let cool air in and exhaust warm air out the back. 

The holes will be sized to allow good airflow but too small for anything to penetrate the helmet, causing injury.

Adjustability

Kids grow surprisingly quickly, so it's a good idea to choose a helmet with an element of adjustability. The chin strap should be adjustable to ensure security, but some helmets have other ways to fine-tune the fit.

Look for kids' skateboard helmets with a dial on the back. This allows you to tweak the helmet for a secure and comfortable fit.

Everyone should wear protective gear when skateboarding, regardless of age. A helmet is a minimum requirement, but you can also wear gloves, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards.

What kind of helmet should I get for skateboarding?

A skateboard helmet should be ASTM F1492 certified. It should also provide plenty of coverage around the back of the head and fit correctly.
