Hi, my wife hasnt got the smallest head, but it has this kind of bike helmet system, that lets you change size by about 3 inches. i tried it once for fun, and I have quite a massive head and it fits me. my wifes head is somewhat smaller and fits hertoo, plus it could be downsized considerable from there.Amazon is very buyer friendly if it doesnt fit.

Hi Amanda,I be honest I took a chance when I ordered for my grand-daughter. The helmet has a dial inside, which allows for better fit. I would opt for the larger size and dial smaller to fit rather than have it too small.

my son has a large head and we did try on the helmets at the horseback riding stable to see that he would be a large. this helmet has a dial inside and it adjusts the helmet a few inches tighter if you need.

I do not have reliable method for measuring because I am not willing to take apart the padding. I measure it as 6.25 inches across at the ears and 7 7/8 inches at front to back. there is a 1/4 inch thick pad all around the helmet plus a second pad of 3/16 th inch running from ear to ear across the forehead with these pads in place the helmet measures 5 inches across at the ears and 7 inches front to back .. I purchased the helmet for a two year old girl who is tall for her age but has a small head. I haven't put it on her recently because she has not been able to ride her tricycle lately due to the cold weather. I have never measured her head. I simply saw to it that it fit. I suspect that I will have to remove at least one pad

I visited my local Dick's Sporting Goods Store and tried on several of their Bell Helmets in order to get an idea the size I needed. Hope you have one close.

Google 'how to measure head for ski helmet' or look through many ski websites who have this advice or measure around head at center of forehead. Then go to Lucky bums website(http://luckybums.com/wintersportshelmetskull.aspx) and they have measurements with all sizes of helmets so as long as your measurement is within theirs you will be OK. Hope this helps.

First, make sure both swivel points are pushed together tightly (at the helmet & mirror). If this doesn't work I pull them apart and lightly take a pair of pliers to the ball part of the swivels and rough them up slightly which slightly expands them for a more snug fit. As a last resort I enlarge the ball with J-B Weld and sand them down to fit snugly.

Thanks Jose! I will check on the other helmets with sizing features. This helps a lot!

There are some adjustments that can be made after you determine the approximate size but fit also depends on the shape of the head as helmets all fit a little differently. One manufacturers product will fit just fine and the same size from another will be uncomfortable.

Measure your head. If you find you are between two sizes, then I recommend her the bigger one.Brainsaver Rubber Helmet Sizing Chart:To ensure a perfect fit, measure the circumference of your head starting in the middle of your forehead and match it with the sizes below.XS 20.10 in - 20.50 in (51-52cm),S 20.60 in - 21.30 in (52-54cm),M 21.40 in - 22.00 in (54-56cm),L 22.10 in - 22.90 in (56-58cm),XL 23.00 in - 24.00 in (58-60cm)

I have a small head (like a child). Mine measures 22" also. I got the Small/Medium & it fits great. I really love this helmet. & I love the "dial" in the back so once you get it on, you dial a few clicks to get a nice snug fit, or un-dial a little if it's too tight.

Hello there. If you go to the Rip-It website, it will show 3 sizes. Sm/med, med/LG and lg/xl. All heads are different, so my recommendation would be to go to a store that carries that helmet and try it on. But in my opinion, for a 10 yr-old, the small size should be fine. You won't regret buying this product. Good luck.

I used this http://www.evo.com/bern-helmets-sizing-chart.aspx when I got my helmet. They really fit true to size. I have really thick hair and I was still able to fit it comfortably.

there is a chart so you can pick your helmet size, you just need to know your head circumference, 60 cm is L size

Check the size inside. Mine has a M/L sticker. I wear a 7 1/8 hat and have my helmet down to the smallest setting for a good fit.

Please measure the child's head. Then you will be able to see which helmet size range will work best.

Aha! I went online and researched - take a tape measure around your head at forehead level. Mine was like 24 inches I think. Convert that to centimeters, as most helmet sizes are cm. Then there are guides online that equate inches to helmet size - see website below (http://www.telemarktips.com/HelmetSizing.html)
