The strategically placed ventilation openings ensure pleasant air circulation and prevent excessive sweating. Although the helmet has no reflectors, the cheerful design and bright colours make the Directly children’s bike helmet a stylish accessory for any child.

The Directly children’s bike helmet impresses at first glance with its colourful and child-friendly design. The overall finish of the helmet is high quality with a robust ABS shell and neatly finished edges. However, a slight chemical odour is initially noticeable, which soon dissipates after unpacking. Although the materials used are not sustainable, they are characterised by resilience and robustness, which speaks for a long service life of the helmet. The stable construction and precisely assembled components contribute to safety and reliability. The design is well thought-out and appealing, making the Directly children’s bike helmet not only functional but also visually appealing.

The Directly children’s bike helmet delivers what the manufacturer promises. The fit is very good, although the helmet still seems a little large for small children under the age of 4 and the straps may not be able to be optimally adjusted for comfort. Overall, the helmet fits comfortably without pinching and is very comfortable to wear, even on longer rides. The headband system is easy to adjust and remains firmly in position even after adjustment, so that the helmet always sits firmly and securely on the head.

The bright colour of the helmet ensures good visibility in road traffic, but there are no reflectors, which limits safety in poor light conditions. The helmet is also impressive when it comes to cleaning and care: the smooth surface is easy to wipe clean, meaning that the helmet is quickly clean again after every use. The foam insert can also be removed for cleaning.

The helmet’s material quality and workmanship show no defects. Overall, the Directly children’s bike helmet impresses with its functionality, comfort and robust construction, making it a reliable companion for children.
