I'm 23. As the helmet was designed for kids,isn't there any risk, safety wise, to just use a large kid size for an adult ? Same "crash" resistance ?

I think the safety rating is the same, it's just sized smaller. A large youth size might not fit you, so check the fit/sizing info to be sure.

Well if you trust putting it on a child's head, I would assume it's just as safe for an adult as it would I child. Yes the "crash resistance" is the same. Just because you put it on your head or a five year olds head it's still the same helmet.

yes absolutely use a helmet some children are more clumsier than others and you never want to risk hitting their head

I've had over 15 kids now use the Ride Safer version 2 Size Large between ages 8-12. For most averaged sized children under age: 8 I would recommend the size small. However age is not so much a factor but rather the weight and size of each child. I've had some larger 9 year old's that have outgrown the size large where as I've had other 12 year old's that still fit in it just fine. I would say that the weight recommendations for the vest set by the manufacturer are pretty accurate: Size Small for children at least 3 years & 30-60 lbs and Size Large for children 50-80 lbs.

I measure 23 1/2. The "large" that I have been using is "snug". I would suggest that you need an X-lg. The padding in this one leaves creases in my skin, but is ok. I highly recommend this helmet because of the quality and extra protective coverage on sides and back. How often would a rider land on top of their head. I've taken a few dives and if my head did hit the ground, it was on the side not on very top.

I don't think it's about age limits, it's more the size of the child. I purchased this for my nephew who was four. He is now 7 and we still use it when we ride in busy areas. I purchased it because a father was using it for his 3 year old. It's really a great safety feature if you like to go on family bike rides

We took an Large for our daughter. The helmets are adjustable so I think it`s better to take a bigger size! Our daughter has CI-implant so it has to be a little bigger. I don´t know if this will help you? I just ordered and the helmet was perfect!

Absolutely. My nephews who are both six have been using scooters since they were five and do fine on them. They're pretty safe ... but have the child wear a helmet and knee/elbow pads anyway.

I bought it for my 8 year old grandson. I checked with my son-in-law and he said it comes with extra padding so you probably could add the padding to make the helmet fit. I would make sure I could return it in case it doesn't fit. You might look at roller skate kits for kids. I bought a set of roller skates that came with helmet, knee pads for my granddaughter when she was four. I think Fisher Price made them but I'm not sure.

I haven't tried a helmet. My child is only 11 months. I believe it would work though.

It's pretty light and as a percentage of the overall helmet weight, shouldn't be a problem. And I would guess it would fit too though that's only a guess and might depend on the age of the child.

My 6 year old wears a large and it fits him very well. You might try a small but use the sizing chart as we found it to be accurate. My boy rolled a 4 wheeler over on himself when the helmet was still new and it took the beating without him being harmed. In my opinion it is a very well made helmet. Just like the adult motorcycle helmets only kid sized.

You would need to read into the safety instructions as the one we purchased was for adults only. In my opinion I think this model would be to big for your daughter.

It's an adult helmet. I would think that it would be too big. Although it is adjustible.

My son has a small head so I had to get the youth. if he can fit the adult I would get the adult. Not sure there is much difference.

My 4 year old daughter has a blast on it. I just have to watch her as she sometimes does not pay attention to where she is going. Size wise it should be fine, but I agree with other comments that it depends more on your child's ability to control it, listening to directions, and definitely supervision. ALWAYS have your child wear a helmet.

I've been riding/training for the past 55 yrs. Highly recommend this helmet. Experience tells me that you should go with a medium. Since your son is only 9 he has some growing to do. That is not to say that you won't need to purchase another one in a few years, to be on the safe side. Everything wears out. Just like the girth straps on a saddle. Hope this helps. This is what I use and have gotten for my grand sons. NJ Kelley
