Choosing the Best Bike Helmet for Girls

There are many helmets to choose from on the market today, but it's very important that you choose a helmet that fits and performs well. When choosing a girls helmet, it is important to know that the helmet should fit snug and should never slide from side to side or front to back. When you are choosing your helmet, if your child can put two fingers on both temples inside the helmet, then the helmet is too big and you will need to use the pads that come with the helmet and attach them with Velcro. When she is wearing her bike helmet, the helmet should always be level on the head and not tilt back at an angle and the straps should fit very secure across your child's chin. If you can pull your child's helmet when fastened, the bike helmet is not properly secured.

In June of 2009, a Consumer Reports Web article recommended the Bell Amigo, Bell Trigger, and the Giro Me2 as being the best out of the girl helmets on the market.
