BMX Helmets for Kids

Kids Bike Helmets for Young BMX Riders

As young BMX enthusiasts are riding faster and higher than ever before, it is crucial for them to wear a properly fitting, certified BMX helmet to safeguard their heads. Although a standard bike helmet can suffice, skate-style helmets are ideal. In contrast to regular cycle helmets, skate helmets offer protection for the rear of the head and are crafted to endure multiple impacts. This design feature means you don’t have to replace the helmet after a heavy fall. All our youth helmets are certified for specific levels of action sports, with details available in the product specifications.

Kids BMX helmets come in sizes ranging from XXS to XXL, based on head circumference or a combination of both. Measuring head circumference is the most precise approach, requiring the use of a flexible measuring tape. For instructions on using the tape measure on your child’s head, visit How to Wear Your Helmet.

Does My Child Require a Full Face Helmet?

You can also find kids' full face helmets for those riding at maximum speeds and executing large stunts, or for those simply seeking the highest protection level. These full face BMX helmets cover the sides of the head, jaw, chin, and mouth, leaving only a gap for the eyes and nose. In many BMX events, children are mandated to wear a full face helmet.

It’s also essential to shield other parts of the body from potential falls when riding BMX bikes. Explore Kids Protection for a variety of knee pads, elbow pads, and more.
