Kids Motorcycle Helmets – What Every Parent Should Know
Choosing the right kids motorcycle helmet isn’t just about looks — it’s about safety, fit, and real-world protection. At Leather Bound NJ, our selection of helmets for young riders includes DOT certified designs that meet strict safety standards for on-road use.
Kids are not just smaller adults — their helmets should be sized and shaped to match their head and neck. Our range includes full face helmets for maximum coverage and open face helmets for lighter weight comfort and visibility.
How to Choose the Right Kids Motorcycle Helmet
- Safety certification: Make sure the helmet has a clear DOT label.
- Proper fit: A snug, secure fit matters — a helmet that slips won’t protect. You can bring your child into our Maple Shade, NJ store to try helmets on for the perfect fit.
- Helmet types: Full face vs open face — each offers different protections.
- Fun designs: Kids are more likely to wear helmets they like — from bright graphics to cool colors.
Every product on this page features trusted brands and clear sizing options so you can shop with confidence. Looking for matching adult helmets or other kids gear? Check out our related adult helmets and kids motorcycle gear categories.
