Kids' Bike Helmets
When it comes to bike safety, a protective helmet is a must! To ensure the safety of your little ones, it's important to equip your children with a kids' bike helmet to avoid the risks of accidents and injuries. The children's helmet should be worn whether the child is a passenger on an adult bike or when they're using their own bike.

How to Choose a Bike Helmet?
Finding a bike helmet for your child is quite simple. Helmet sizes are determined based on head circumference, easily measured with a flexible measuring tape.
Next, you can compare your measurement with the manufacturer's size charts to determine the right model and size of helmet for your child. You can find size charts directly in the product description on our website. If you're shopping at one of our Primeau Vélo stores, our experts will be happy to help you find the ideal size for your child.
Finally, ensure that the helmet doesn't move on the child's head and adjust the strap comfortably under the chin, but snug enough to prevent any movement. For additional protection, opt for a helmet with a visor. In case of a frontal impact, the visor will absorb the impact to prevent face injuries.
What Is MIPS Technology?
Increasingly, some bike helmet manufacturers offer products equipped with MIPS technology, but what is MIPS technology? It's a system of protection against multidirectional impacts, a technology developed by scientists and neurosurgeons. The goal of this innovation is to offer safer helmets for athletes, suitable for all types of activities. MIPS technology helmets are designed to reduce rotational forces to the head during impacts at an angle.
The brain is highly sensitive to rotational impacts. MIPS technology aims to reduce the impact of rotational energy on the head by allowing relative movement between the head and the helmet. You can find MIPS technology in the helmet liner beneath the padding. It's recognizable by its yellow color, just like the MIPS logo.
Child trailers and seats are perfect for family rides or daily commutes. Equip yourself with a bike trailer or a bike seat to transport your children wherever you go. At Primeau Vélo, we offer the largest selection of child trailers and seats from Thule, a safe choice.
