What size would I get my 11 year old daughter...should I measure around her head?

I think if you go to the Troxel website they will give you information about sizing. We were buying a starter helmet for a small head. The band is adjustable but you need to make sure that you are starting in the ballpark.

Measure around her head, and look at a size chart. All you have to do is type "hit size chart" into your browser and they will come up.

In my review of this helmet, I included Troxel's size chart (see below). While people are saying their young children (i.e. age 4) can wear this helmet, it's waaaaaay too big for my 8 year old & would provide zero protection. Her head measures roughly 19.5" & the size small could not be tightened enough to fit. The Troxel Legacy is smaller & it does fit her.

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.

They should fit an 11 year old fine. It fits me and I'm a grown adult woman - with an average size head :-) They are 11 inches per side, folded in half, so 22 inches total circumference. They are very nice and great for the price. We had a pizza party and the girls all loved them!

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.

It's plenty big on my 4 year old. Of course it depends on the size of your child, but I'm guessing it will fit her til she's at least 8. She's fairly average height.

Hello. 12 year old about 90lbs. I'd definitely go with a small. Or if they have extra small. The helmet needs to fit correctly to work properly. Also amazon had great return policies! And also make sure if the son is at the skatepark alone you check in and make sure he is wearing his helmet! I've seen kids wait until their parents are gone and take off their helmets. I fractured my skull not wearing a helmet. Hope this helps :)!

my daughter is tall and athletic- I think 54 inches and about 100 pounds. The medium was real tight on her. you would probably be ok with the medium.

I think there's a sizing guide probably for the helmet on amazon. They should be standard sized, so yeah just measure your head. Or go to local shop that sells helmets and try on a large

It would work, but I would suggest getting a full size set. Your 11 year old will outgrow this set in the next couple of years.

My daughter is 2 and has a big head. It fits her with room to grow and it also has an adjustment on it to loosen or tighten to the head.

Head size varies. My son has a 20" head and this fits. Take a measurement so you know for sure. Edit: by measurement, I mean the circumference of his head, just above the eyebrows. Then reference that against the helmet size charts, which are usually pretty accurate.

Yes inches measured around your head. this helmet fits a little big. I normally wear a large but fit a small with plenty of room with this helmet.

My daughter is 18 and she has a small/medium - though she is a smaller framed person. She has had this size headgear since she was in 7th grade. I hope this helps.

I bought a large and two mediums. The medium fits my 9 year old granddaughter, well, but is a little too big for the 5 year old. I should've gotten a small for her. However, she is a very small girl. The 9 year old is skinny but has a bigger head. I guess it depends on the size of the child's head. I can wear the medium but, I also have a smaller sized head than most. Hope this helps:)

My daughter is a petite 3 and a half year old and it fits her great. A little lose but still a great fit that allows her to grow into it a little. I will measure my daughters head when I get home and repost. Btw sorry for the late reply.

As far as I can tell, these are all one size. They appear to fit average sized adult heads, maybe a tad on the smallish side. If your child is indeed currently young and small headed, you might have to modify these to fit snugly.
