BMX Helmets for Children

Any bike or BMX helmet that is used on a child should most importantly meet Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, which are noted on a helmet's label. If you are looking for a BMX helmet for your child, you should also make sure it is noted that the helmet is designed for BMX biking. Standard bike helmets do not provide enough protection in the BMX sport. Here are a few of the top helmets used for children in BMX.

  1. The One Youth Composite Helmet

    • This helmet is for true BMX enthusiasts. It has air tunnels that allow air to circulate from the front to the back, which keeps the rider cool while working with aerodynamics. It also has a removable and washable cover that provides perfect fit and safety for children. The face area of the helmet is equipped with a mouth guard and visor. This helmet can be found at eBikeStop.com for $89.99.

    Pro BMX Junior Bike Helmet

    • This helmet was designed to look identical to a professional BMX rider's helmet with a lighter weight so it can be comfortably worn by children.

This helmet can be purchased at Bikemania.biz for $54.95.

    Mongoose BMX Hardshell MG-119
