Topic: XXS Helmet needed

[DrMark]

I was unsure how to go about getting this out to other SOHC members. I am hoping one of our members may have one for sale or to donate.

I am looking for a XXS helmet for my daughter Samantha. As some of you may know, she is a petite little girl, age-5, who loves to go riding with our local group.

Last year, the only helmet we could find to fit her was a bicycle helmet. Which was fine when we only took rides around the block or over to the neighboring townships on the back roads. Concerned for her safety, I really don't like the idea of her wearing a "bicycle helmet" again this year as she is getting old enough to accompany us on longer rides. I'd like to find one with a face shield, as she is not fond of wind in her face at 60mph.

I am finding that very few companies manufacture helmets for children. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, DrMark

DrMark,

Looks like DrMark needs even smaller than what I posted; but maybe the manufacturer can help him out.

Thanks Bob for making the connection.

Thanks to everyone that sent e-mail in regards to a XXS small helmet for my daughter. I finally found a good deal on EBAY for a HJC Full-face helmet in gloss black. Almost an exact situation like mine. Purchased for his little girl in 2003. Worn maybe 4-5 times. Looked to be in great shape, never dropped or crashed. Total cost with S/H was $35.

Side Question: When did little girls become so fashion conscience? She is already asking about putting PINK FLAMES over the high-glass black. Now I'll have to look for a decal set of pink flames or ask the local body shop to paint it for her...LOL. DrMark

You mean she hasn't said anything about the pink suede boots she wants to go along with it? She will.

Bob....she has the pink boots, the pink paisley "do-rag" and a pink biker t-shirt. She wears them to our local "bike-night" and on some of our shorter club rides. At age 5, she is becoming quite an a accomplished motorcycle passenger rider on my CB550K. But, I do have to keep a SNACK BAG on the luggage rack.....I think she has a hollow leg.....loves to eat.

So far she has not asked for PINK LEATHERS...lol
