Junior Bike Helmet

Children's Bike Helmets by CASCO: The Same Quality, from the First Pedal Stroke

A children's bike helmet has to protect, be easy to adjust, and be worn without a fuss. At CASCO, the Junior models meet the same design and manufacturing standards as the adult range: certified to EN 1078, lightweight, well-ventilated, and built to grow with the child. Because a helmet a child refuses to wear protects no one.

Models for parents who won't compromise on safety

Choosing a bike helmet for your child is above all a decision for reliable protection. Both CASCO children's helmets share the same technical foundation as the adult range: certified materials, precise adjustment systems, and lightweight construction that doesn't strain young necks. The design and colors do the rest, so the child is proud to wear it.

The CASCO models for young cyclists

MINI: the helmet for the first laps on two wheels

The MINI is CASCO's children's bike helmet for the youngest cyclists, from the first balance-bike adventures to the first real rides. Available in two sizes designed specifically for small heads (XS: 46-52 cm, S: 52-56 cm), it offers maximum protection in a format kids actually enjoy wearing.
Its lightweight construction (360 g) spares the young cervical spine even on longer rides. The extended neck protection covers particularly vulnerable impact zones, often neglected in entry-level models. Integrated reflective elements improve visibility during rides at dusk or in poor light conditions.
The adjustable fit system grows with the child, and the quick-release buckle can be secured by parents with one hand. The removable visor protects against sun and rain for comfortable riding all year round. The removable inner padding is washable for easy everyday hygiene. Vibrant colors and a kid-friendly design make the MINI a helmet children want to wear rather than avoid.

ACTIV Next Gen: the bike helmet for young city riders

Derived directly from the adult ACTIV, the best-selling helmet in the CASCO range: the ACTIV Next Gen brings the same proven features into a version for children and teenagers. Same manufacturing quality, same reliability, same ease of use. The ideal helmet for the school commute and a faithful companion for family outings and everyday cycling.
At just 270 g, it's one of the lightest children's bike helmets in its category. The one-size fit (52-56 cm) suits most young cyclists. The integrated adjustment system ensures a secure and comfortable fit, while advanced ventilation keeps the head cool even during active rides. The rear reflector element improves road visibility, on the school commute just as much as on rides at dusk.

What matters when buying a children's bike helmet?

There are five key points to consider when buying the right bike helmet for a child:

1. EN 1078 certification: This is the mandatory European standard for every bike helmet, not to be confused with riding helmet standards (EN 1384). Check this before every purchase.
2. Head circumference: Measure your child's head circumference before buying. The MINI covers 46 to 56 cm and suits the youngest children. The ACTIV Next Gen covers 52 to 56 cm and fits children and teenagers who are still growing.
3. Usage profile: For children just discovering cycling, the MINI offers extended neck protection and a cheerful design that makes pedaling fun. For children who cycle to school daily or ride regularly, the ACTIV Next Gen brings the proven reliability of the adult range into a kid-friendly format.
4. Closure system: On a children's helmet, the buckle needs to be closeable and openable quickly, with one hand, by a parent. Both CASCO models feature a quick-release system designed exactly for this daily use.
5. Weight: At 360 g and 270 g respectively, the MINI and ACTIV Next Gen are among the lightest models in their category. A lightweight helmet is a helmet that stays on the head until the end of the ride.

All CASCO bike helmets are manufactured in the brand's own European production facilities, to the same quality requirements as the adult range, under seamless control from design through to final assembly.
