It's got quite an arch for the forehead. My daughter's forehead is pretty vertical. Any tips for getting it to fit right?

Yes it bends to whatever type of forehead your child has. It's a life saver. We use it for basketball, volleyball and also soccer. You have to make sure you wash it regularly or it will get pretty funky smelling.

Yes, seems like yours may be defective. :( I've had no problems with leaking. In fact, if anything it's tight on her head.

My daughter is 6 months at 16 lbs it fits in the chest but it kind of swollows her little head. I have to keep pulling it down.

I happen to live in Hawaii, so don't know if it is the heat and humidity that helps to go back to default shape. I have a smaller brim hat that I have used for travel for several years. I have this hat hanging up right now unrolled just in the circle with velcro and it seems to have gone into the correct shape by itself. Maybe a light spray of water to soften and then shape? Sorry no real answer.

Tough call. It really doesnt have anything to do with height, more head size. It does have adjustable straps and chin pad, but if it is still too big will definitely affect her field of vision by not being secure. I would prob say go with youth for now.

It will not fit snugly unless your child has a larger than average head. My 3.5 and 2.5 wore them recently for a photo shoot, and the hats were slightly too large for them (but cute anyway, as props tend to be.) The hats would not have stayed on well outside the portrait studio, though.

My daughtER has the same Helmet and also wears glasses. She does wear sports goggles which mold to her face much better, allowing a better fit for her helmet.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

Measure or get a measurement around his head right above the ears and that number will help you determine. That's how I measured and ordered my daughters and her helmet fits perfectly.

Yes, I think she will be comfortable in the BabyBjorn. My son has been riding facing out since 3 months (I know, I know--but he HATED facing inward and insisted on being carried so I had little recourse). I think he's just hit 24" now and he's perfectly comfortable.

It's been great for our daughter since she was about 20 months old. The optional padding helped with customizing the size. She still has plenty of room to grow. She's about 6th percentile for weight and her head's pretty proportionate to her body. I hope this helps!

My daughter is 5mth old, and is ~24in tall. She's able to face front. The "bib" rests just under her chin. She'll be more comfortable at 25inches, but it's totally doable. For what it's worth, This is Fantastic. I'm a big dude, and can wear this just fine.

Hi Alexandra! Your best bet will be to measure your child's head. You can view the sizing of the helmet here: http://screencast.com/t/xiVSeUEG. I sure hope that help! Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help!

I had the same thing happen....when u slide it on,u have to tilt it forward some. It's an awkward fit but it will go all the way down.

That only happened occasionally when my daughter fell asleep. Make sure if he is rear facing that before install you have reclined the seat all the way. Another thing we did to prevent this was adjust the height so that the head piece was more level with her head/ears; this actually seems to have fixed the problem with her head flopping forward because she can rest it to the side better.

My niece has been using it since about 3 weeks in with no problems. She's still able to move her head a bit to the side, but not to the point where it'd be uncomfortable and undesireable where her head is flat on the side.

I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart. I bought this for him and it fits him nicely. It fits my almost 5 year old too, so I ended up buying two. Its a slightly different shape than other bike helmets (this is a little rounder than typical bike helmets), which actually works better for my 2.5 year old son. They used them for most of the summer, left them out in the rain at times and they are both in really good shape - the decal hasn't peeled or scraped off and the buckles and foam have held up well. I would recommend this. I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart.
