Giro Kids' Scamp Cycling Helmet

Product Information

The Little Nutty is very similar to Nutcase’s baby bike helmet but is wider on the sides, is a tad heavier, and is dual-certified for skateboard use. Between the Little and Baby Nutty, it can be a bit hard to decide since they are designed for the same 48 – 52 cm head circumference range. The Giro Scamp Helmet is made from polycarbonate (synthetic) material. The in-molded shell makes it extra strong and durable at the same time. With such a great assurance that it is lightweight, safe, and durable, who can dispute the Giro Scamp helmet as the best kids’ helmet?

Kids have something about being stubborn and hesitant to wear helmets. Well, that only happens when it is not Giro Scamp. The Scamp comes in a selection of child-appealing colors and has a design and fit that makes them want to keep it on a little longer, even after a ride. Helmet Construction Before setting your child up for an impressive first two-wheel experience besides the bike, you must ensure the helmet keeps them safe. The Scamp is one of the safest kids’ helmets dedicated to ensuring no head injuries in case of crashes.

The Scamp’s optional MIPS technology adds an additional layer of safety to kids’ helmets. The foam core of a helmet protects a child from direct impact but does not protect from rotational injuries.

Even though they have less material, these helmets must still meet the same safety standards as all others, and the increased cost is mostly the result of deeper structural engineering to make every gram of foam count. The Giro Scamp adjusts via the chin straps and a rear dial-adjust. We love the dial-adjusts on kids helmets as they help get the fit just right, and allow the helmet to grow as your child does. How long the helmet will fit depends on how fast your child’s head grows. This little nugget is now 4.5 and can still comfortably and safely wear the Small Scamp while riding her pedal bike. We anticipate needing a new helmet by age 5. Ultimately, you’re going to see helmet visors much more often in off-road applications like mountain biking than on the tarmac, where cyclists tend to opt for sunglasses.

The built-in visor, which provides important facial protection in the event of a face plant, is a bit longer than other helmets. To top it off, the Mio has fixed plastic pieces connecting the ear and chin straps, so those often pesky strap sliders can never slide out of place!

Use a tape measure to find the right size helmet for your kid that fits and is snug. Position the tape measure above the ears of the kid, approximately 1 inch above the eyebrows. Ensure the tape is level and measure the circumference around the largest part of their head. Given the technical specifications information, you can use the measurements to find the corresponding size. With a size range that overlaps the Giro Scamp Small (49 – 53 cm), which one should you choose? Besides the obvious styling difference, the Tremor Child’s interior is slightly deeper and wider than the Scamp. If your child has a taller head or wider head, the Tremor Child would be a better choice. It’s available in several different boy, girl, and gender-neutral colors. The Giro Scamp with MIPS version is outstanding for safety but at a slightly higher cost. But if you are on a budget, get the Giro Scamp Non-MIPS version, which also comes in more colors and all the great features except the MIPS technology. The fit is all that matters when it comes to a kids’ helmet. Once a helmet is fit it becomes snug as well. You probably have heard of the bad experiences parents who buy their kids poor-quality helmets have. Without the right fit, you can never win the war of convincing your child to wear them. It was there before almost impossible to come across perfect-fit kids’ bike helmets, mostly due to poor construction and not-so-focused kid-specific design. Today, kids’ bike helmets come in a range of kid-specific designs and features. They are snug, beautiful, slim, and lighter than the old generation. In our article on choosing the best helmet for kids, we explored helmet terminology in-depth. If you wonder what MIPS is, it is an abbreviation for a multi-directional impact protection system.

The lightweight Giro Tremor is now available in a smaller size! Designed to fit the smaller heads of baby shredders, the Giro Tremor Child has a 47 – 54 cm head circumference range, and is more narrow and a bit less bulky than its big brother. Built with lightweight, in-mold construction,a dial-adjust system, and optional MIPS technology (to help minimize impacts at sharp angles), the Scamp has an impressive resume, making it one of our best bike helmets for toddlers or babies. MIPS helmets can be expensive, but the added safety technology offers parents additional peace of mind. For years, I’ve been recommending the Giro Scamp to other parents. All our friend’s kids have the Scamp, half the kids we run into the local bike park have the Scamp, and yet we’ve never actually done a detailed review of the helmet.law, Mips expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, express or implied, other than those expressly that an individual who suffers a collision, fall, or other blow to the head while a person is wearing a We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
