Is it ok to use without the removable pads? My son's head won't fit in the XS with the extra padding, but he's not yet 2 and the S would be huge!

I would say the padding makes the helmet tolerable for the 95% of the time it is not protecting from an impact. Understandable it is the 5% of the time you are concerned but, Personally I would get the larger helmet and add in pads to make it fit more snugly. These pads do make it possible for a larger helmet to fit and you can adjust pretty well by using them. Also, this will allow you to maintain the helmet longer simply by removing pads as the child gets bigger.

I would not. With out the pads hisHead would be against the hard styrofoam.

Is recommending by the factory uses with the pads will be better to exchange by the size s with the padding, and with the extras pads you find the right size and enlarge with the growing of the kids, that is what I did with my twin girls

Mine is an xl so I would think that a three year old would need a small or extra small. The best helmet that money can buy. The straps can cinch it down as well. If need be just add some foam cushioning if it's a little bit too big.

You can't charge or use headphones while in the case. It's worth it though. It's the only way I was able to shop or eat in peace for about 6 months of my sons life. :)

Don't think you can attach a pad as the head (where the disposable pad is attached) is like a spongy rubber. The disposable pads you can buy are like a sleeve at one end and then the other side goes tucked in a groove. You could sew one if you want to spend the extra time...

Yes. Both pads can be adjusted or removed. The head pad, however, adjusts using Velcro. This limits its adjustment range, and if you take it off it will leave two halves of Velcro, which is permanent to the main board. The lower pad can be adjusted quite a bit, and it is put on with a strap so it will completely remove. Hope this helps.

I am not sure because one you put the attachment pad on your helmet, it should not be removed. I am very happy with my purchase work very good.Lucy yankowy

I bought the Boppy covers. It's pretty much a standard size pad. I think the Babies R us or Buy Buy Baby brands would work as well.

Hey A. Dayeny,I purchased this for my ACH helmet and it fits fine with no problems. Also, I'm not sure what issues Andrew had with his but I absolutely wear a NAPE pad with my helmet and again, no issues.Hope this helps!

You do not need bumper pads. Health Canada published the following information in 2012:Health Canada does not recommend bumper pads because:* Babies can suffocate if their faces become pressed against the fabric of a bumper pad.* A baby's head can get trapped between the bumper pad and the side of the crib.* Long ribbons, strings or ties can cause a baby to become tangled or to strangle.* Children can use bumper pads to climb out of their crib once they are able to pull themselves up into a standing position. They could fall from the crib and be seriously hurt.Source: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pubs/cons/child-enfant/sleep-coucher-eng.php#a51 You do not need bumper pads.

I think the helmets are in kids. Because before i buy this helmet, i went to ski shop to test out how big i shoud wear. XL in the ski shop seems having some space for my head, but this XL helmet is really small. I need to push hard to fit in. :(

I believe there is only 1 size: XS. I used this helmet for my petite 3yo. It is adjustable and was a little big, but still acceptable. My daughter is now 4.5 and it still works great. You can measure the circumference of your tot's head to see if it is between 46 and 52cm. Really like the helmet. Hope the helps.

No additional padding. We've used a bulky sweatshirt or a pillow when space isn't an issue.

Not sure of the diameter of the XS, as I returned the XS because it was too small for my 5 year old boy. I replaced it with a S (small) which has an inside diameter of about 20". He now is almost 7 and it still fits!

If you can get them to keep it on, my 12 month old wears it fine. It has an adjustable strap on the back that is easy to use and tightens the straps once the helmet is on. Just tight enough to keep them from pulling it off. Package says 3+ for age but that's not true. I'd say mine will be using hers till she's at least 5.

Yup the pads are in there permanently, my son where's a xxs and he's 5. His regular school pants size is a 7. Hope this helps!

You can go to xenith.com and look over the sizing chart. IF your kid is in between sizes go larger. The Helmets run small due to the unique pads. Some come with comfort pads included but it's a great helmet both of my boys have them one 8 yrs and the other 12 yrs both were Med.

It shouldn't be a problem. The case itself is tight on the edges of the 3DS, but leave a good area of space between the top and bottom surface. I get some dust in there occasionally and will have to take it off to clean. But I dont see a protective skin being a issue.
