As a parent, the safety of your child is top priority while they are out riding. A helmet can arguably be the most important piece of protective gear they will wear. Rocky Mountain ATV/MC provides a comprehensive selection of some of the best children’s helmets available on the market in light-weight, ergonomically advanced designs that offer the latest in safety technology and fresh new styles as well.
Each helmet we carry has a sizing chart in the description to help you find the best fit for your child. Although helmet sizing varies among manufacturers, there is a universal method of measuring your child’s head for the best possible fit: Measure the circumference of their head from 1” above the eyebrows and around the largest portion of the back of their head. This measurement should provide enough information to gauge which helmet size will be right for each style. Remember, you want the helmet to fit well – not too loose and not too tight – but snug for the best possible protection.
Extra room inside the helmet can reduce its protective power. A test you can perform to check for proper sizing is to see whether you can get the width of your finger to fit between the helmet padding and your child’s forehead. If you can, the helmet might be too large. To get a feel for a certain helmets’ sizing, checking out the customer reviews for the product can be useful. Sometimes the best reference for fit comes from someone who has tried it out first. If for any reason the helmet doesn’t fit, give us a call and take advantage of our Fit Guarantee - Apparel Exchange to get the correct size you need.
An additional protective item you might consider purchasing in conjunction with your child’s helmet is a quality neck brace. A child’s neck is much more fragile and can be subject to the weight of the helmet and the impact of the ride. Not only can a neck brace hold your child’s head steady as they ride, it also protects their neck from painful movements in the event of a crash. We have a great selection of neck braces that will offer the protection you want for your child as they ride.
We have one of the largest selections of Snell & ECE approved kids ATV helmets available on the market from trusted brands like 6D, Fly Racing, Fox Racing, HJC, One Industries, Thor and more. Take a look at the variety we carry today so that your kids can be protected on every ride they take.

Top-Tier Protection and Comfort! The Bell MX-9 w/ MIPS Helmet is hands-down one of the best helmets around. Got one for my kid and he loves it! Right out of the box, the quality is obvious. The fit is snug without being tight, and it feels super secure without adding bulk or weight. The MIPS technology gives me peace of mind knowing I've got an extra layer of protection for rotational impacts. That's huge when you're pushing it hard on the trails or track. Ventilation is solid-it keeps air moving and helps keep things cool even on hot rides. The liner is comfortable, easy to remove, and washes up nicely. Looks great, fits great, feels great-and most importantly, it protects like it should. This is a 10/10 helmet for sure, and I'd absolutely recommend it to any rider serious about safety and comfort.

I am very happy with this helmet for a few reasons, I ordered the XL because my measurement fell on the line for l/XL . It fits very snug so seems a little small to size but perfect for me. My goggles fit well inside and field of view is decent. This helmet is way lighter than my last couple were so that's a plus. Chin strap is a bit short but does it's job

This helmet is comfortable, good ventilation and MIPS certified. I haven't used another brand of helmet but for the cost comparison it was hard to justify getting another helmet.

Love the way this helmet fits my head, my giant ears tuck right in to the voids perfectly, no pain on ears. Graphics are awesome. I'm coming off a "509" helmet which i actually liked very much. This helmet is much more plush, i did notice that it forced my 100% armega goggles to push down on my nose a tiny bit more than the 509. but helmets are like shoes, not one size fits all heads etc...
