Parents, this helmet is worth every penny. My son escaped critical, if not fatal injury thanks to this helmet. Long story short, my 10 year old was moving along at about 15 mph on his electric scooter when a younger child ran in front of him. While avoiding the child, he lost control of his scooter, hit a curb, flipped over the handle bars and smashed his head on the trailer hitch of a parked truck. The point of impact was on the lower back of his head where many helmets do not cover. Thanks to the design of this helmet, it absorbed the brunt of the impact. While he did suffer a serious concussion, it could have ended tragically had it not been for the extra protection this helmet provided. I'd not hesitate to recommend this helmet to other parents. Having said that, whichever helmet you decide to purchase, make sure it protects the entire head!

fits snug, there is an extra foam piece that helps the helmet fit snugger since my son is only 10 yrs old.

You saved my son's Life
On August 31st my 10-year-old son, named Quincy, was racing down a hill on his bicycle. As he came to bottom of the hill there was a stop sign but he was riding to fast to yield to the oncoming vehicle. Within seconds, he and a small truck collided. As he hit the tuck, putting a 6 inch dent in the front fender, he was then thrown into the windshield and fell to the ground unconscious. Overall, the accident caused a mild concussion, a lot of bruises and abrasions and a broken right arm. Thankfully an abdominal CT showed no internal injuries.
After going to the ER by ambulance we were discharged and returned home. Before leaving the hospital parking lot, I thought I would take a moment and look at his helmet. Oddly, there was a wrinkle across the back of his helmet. I showed it to the ER doctor and he stated that without the safety the helmet my son would have had some level of head trauma. Wow, what a miracle!
I quickly recalled, that only about 6 weeks earlier, I purchased two Razor V-17 helmets--one for him and another for his older brother. At the time I was only going to buy one for his older brother but I remember having a distinct impression to buy one for him also. I am so grateful I did. When I consider how most people rely on a high power for direction their life, I too believe that a higher power, who I call the Holy Spirit, had impressed upon my mind to purchase this extra helmet. I have been raised a member of the Mormon Church or who is known as (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and taught that the Lord knows all things and understands our lives and what transpires daily. Little did I know that the Lord knew events that would transpire in my son's life in the few days that would follow. I will be eternally grateful for the Saviors' understanding and knowledge of our life on this earth. He really wants us to be happy and never wants us to suffer and feel pain and sorrow. In just a few seconds or with a slightly different decision on my part it could have changed the course of the life of my son and our family.
I would like to thank Razor for the safety that their helmet gave my son. My small boy's life could have been changed forever. I am so grateful for the people that have engineered the helmet he wore that day. Thank you, Thank you, with all my heart.

Sincerely,
Kay C Whittaker, Quincy's Father.

I would appreciate if Amazon would forward this to the Company of Razor. If you would like to copy this letter to share it with others I would like the letter to stay intact and not edited except for grammer. Thank you...KCW,,,,

I'm am very happy with this helmet. I bought my 4 and 5 year old boys this helmet through amazon and I was happy with the price, the fast shipping, the quality and accuracy of the sizing. It's a nice looking helmet as well. This was the first helmet we've ever bought and I will for sure buy this brand again if needed.

My niece dosen't like to wear helmets either because they're ugly or make her head too hot. She likes this helmet. It fits nicely. The ventillation is great. I like it and so does she.

The helmet looks great and is quite robust. It's too big for my 5-yr old though - my fault for not double-checking the product specs and instead relying on other customer reviews.

This Razor youth helmet is great. It fits my daughters head perfect and is easy to adjust. She thinks it is way more comfortable than her bike helmet as we never seem to get the bike helmet to fit properly. You will be satisfied with this helmet. Patti

I really like this helmet. Our five year old has a big head and this fits him perfectly. Not only that, but he can put it on all by himself. And, he puts it on correctly. Really, what more could you want in a helmet?

Good product but too small for my son turning 9 next week. (He is average size in general though I guess he could have a big head?) Of course, he had to wear it and scratch it up anyway. It will provide some protection until I can buy a larger size.

Note that it comes with extra padding in case it is too small. I agree with earlier reviewer that better for 6 to 8 or for kids with small heads!

My son loves it because it looks cooller than the bike helmets and I love it because it looks to protect him more fully. I don't worry about him whether he is scooteing, skate boarding, riding bikes or roller blading. Head if fully protected. He is 9 and it fits him well with room to grow.
