#2 SAFETY
This is for sure your top priority! All helmets should respect the safety norm of the country they are sold (CE, AS/NZ, CPSC). That said some helmets are taking count of the specific needs of a child’s head. For example, the MET Elfo & Genio helmets are featuring the exclusive Bimbi Secure Technology. The internal shape of the helmet is molded in a specific way, made to avoid any contact points with the fontanel, the softest part of a developing skull. For grown up kids, charging hard on the trails having a helmet providing an extended coverage on the side and the back will be essential. It’s the case for the MET Eldar. Finally, there are extra features that can increase the safety: the MIPS (What is MIPS?) system in order to reduce rotational forces that can happen during a crash, or a rear LED light to be seen. Both options you can find in the MET kids range.
