Fit first, paint last
The shell, the straps and the pads are tested on real heads on real school runs. Only the ones children kept on get a colour.

Even he wears one.
A helmet only protects a child who agrees to wear it. So every Pit Lane shell is worn by 40 riders aged 4 to 8 for 28 mornings before any colour is printed on it.

No pinch under the chin
A magnetic buckle closes with one hand and keeps a finger's gap from the skin. The pads come out and wash at 30°. At 230 g it weighs about as much as an apple and a half.
How big is their head?
Wrap a soft tape just above the eyebrows. The size you pick is drawn on him first.
Size S, 48 to 52 cm. That's most 4 and 5 year olds.
Between two sizes, take the smaller one: the dial at the back opens it by 3 cm.
Then the colour
4 colours, printed only after the fit passed. Pick one and he'll wear it.
