Kids helmets

[hikerwa]

I was wondering what kind of helmets that people have gotten for thier kids, for climbing. Most climbing helmets have been too big for my son, so I have been making him wear his bike helmet. I guess the reason I ask is I want him to get in the habit of wearing a helmet, even when the chance of rocks or falling is small.

 

Is there a good kids climbing helmet?

 

thanks,

The size 1 Petzl Elios fits quite small; it is however rather expensive.

I got my daughter an Edlerid helmet when she was around 8 years old. It is a hard shell hetmet similar to their adult models. It was cheap compared to parental guilt and hospital bills.
