The round helmet has seven vents at the top to help keep your child's head cool. It also features interior cushions with blue accents (extra padding is included), a red strap with black buckle, and TriGlide slide adjusters on the strap for getting an easy, optimized fit.
The two knee and two elbow pads feature blue ABS plastic guards on a bed of red mesh, and blue Velcro strap with the top leather strap accented by an illustration of a biking bear.
Fitting a Helmet
Here are some guidelines to getting the best fit for a bike helmet.

Eyes: The rim of the helmet should be up to 1 to 2 finger widths above the eyebrows
Ears: The straps should form a V under just beneath the ear lobe
Mouth: When the rider opens her mouth, the buckle should feel snug on the chin and the helmet should hug the head
Before using the helmet, stand in front of the mirror and grab the helmet with both hands and twist it to the left and to the right. If the helmet fits right, the skin on the forehead will move as the helmet moves. If it does not, then the helmet is too loose and is unsafe for use and you need to start over.
