What size is the Banwood Eco Helmet?
The Banwood Eco Helmet fits a head circumference of 50cm to 54cm. This size range is suitable for most children from around age 3 and older, though head size varies between children of the same age and measuring your child's head circumference before buying is recommended. The dial-fit system at the rear allows fine adjustment within the 50-54cm range so the helmet can be fitted precisely to your child.
What age is the Banwood Eco Helmet suitable for?
The Banwood Eco Helmet is suitable for children from age 3 and upward, corresponding to a head circumference of 50cm to 54cm. Suitability depends on head size rather than age: if your child's head falls within this range, the helmet fits. The dial-fit adjustment system allows the helmet to be fitted at any point in the 50-54cm range as the child grows.
What makes the Banwood Eco Helmet eco-friendly?
The Banwood Eco Helmet outer shell is made from recycled ABS plastic, derived from post-consumer waste including plastic bottles, bags, cups, and fishing nets. The chin strap is also made from recycled material. The eco credentials are material-based: the helmet uses the same structural design and safety certification as the Classic Helmet, with the outer shell and strap sourced from recycled rather than virgin material.
Is the Banwood Eco Helmet safety certified?
Yes. The Banwood Eco Helmet is CE marked and meets EN 1078, the European standard for helmets for pedal cyclists and users of skateboards and roller skates. Using a recycled ABS shell does not affect the safety certification: the helmet meets the same impact protection, strap strength, and field of vision standards as a conventional ABS helmet. It is suitable for use with Banwood bikes, scooters, and skateboards.
Can I use the Banwood Eco Helmet with a scooter or skateboard?
Yes. The Banwood Eco Helmet is designed for use with all Banwood products, including balance bikes, Classic Bicycles, Eco Scooters, Maxi Scooters, Vintage 3-Wheel Scooters, and Skateboards. The EN 1078 certification covers both pedal cyclists and users of skateboards and roller skates, so the helmet meets the standard for all of these ride types and is a practical choice for children who use more than one Banwood product.
