The only thing better than riding a bike to school is doing it in a fresh new helmet. Lazer’s wide range of kids’ helmets offers the perfect style for every personality and each helmet delivers Lazer’s game-changing protection. While each model has its own look, they all share one important feature - Lazer’s groundbreaking KinetiCore technology, engineered to help protect kids from unexpected bumps and bonks along the way.
Here are a few tips and considerations to get your kids rolling confidently when they ride back to school this fall.
Protection is Priority One
Lazer kids’ helmets use the same proprietary technology trusted by pro riders in the Tour de France and World Cup Mountain Biking. KinetiCore is the world’s first responsibly designed and fully integrated rotational impact protection system, built into every helmet, no matter the size. In the event of a crash, KinetiCore works to counter impact forces. On the outside, a durable hard shell and deeper temple coverage offer extra protection where kids are most vulnerable.
The Right Fit for Comfort and Protection
A helmet can only do its job if it fits properly. That’s why all Lazer kids’ helmets use advanced fit systems tailored for smaller heads. The TurnSys system, for example, features an adjustable head basket and an easy-to-use dial for a personalized fit. A secure fit not only makes the helmet more comfortable (and more likely to be worn) but also keeps it in place to provide protection when it matters most.
Kid-Specific Details
A great kids’ helmet isn’t just a scaled-down version of an adult model. It needs thoughtful features to make riding more enjoyable. That’s why Lazer helmets use a strategically placed cheek buckle to help prevent skin pinches under the chin—making it easier to start every ride on the right foot.

If kids love the way their helmet looks, they’re more likely to wear it. Lazer’s lineup features graphics and colors designed to appeal to every age group.
