So your little one has gotten a taste for trail riding and they want to explore their gnarly side.
Having the right children’s mountain bike clothing is a big part of making sure they have a positive experience when riding their bikes. To get them off to a flying start, here’s a list of some of the best pieces on the market…
Helmets
If your child likes nothing better than ripping it down technical trails or getting air on tabletops, then a good quality full face helmet is essential. The Bell Sanction helmet is pretty much the smallest on the market, so small that it can fit a toddler, they are also very light (less than 1kg), so great for those young necks!
The 7iDP M1 helmet is fairly light, comes in a whole range of sizes (XS-XL) and has some funky colours too.
If you are looking for a well fitting open face helmet, then consider the Bell Sidetrack. They have a competitive price point, available with the MIPS technology, varied designs and come in two sizes.
