    CR's Take

    This moderately priced child urban bike helmet from Woom is rated excellent for impact absorption, very good for ease of use and good for ventilation. The few adjustment features translate to a good rating for fit adjustment. The length of the strap for the retention system can be adjusted, but it's considered difficult to adjust. This helmet comes in 3 sizes. The weight is on the lighter side and among those we've tested is considered better. This helmet has a convenient magnetic buckle and additional padding to adjust the fit.
