How long can the READY Kids' Helmet be used for?

The bike helmet should only be used for a maximum of three to five years from the specified production date, even if it looks like it's in good condition. The production date can be found on a sticker on the inside of the helmet. 

The lifespan of the helmet depends on:

• Use: Strong UV rays and a high degree of wear and tear are just two of the factors that can have a negative impact on the helmet's properties and reduce its lifespan. 
• Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place where it isn't exposed to sunlight, doesn't come into contact with aggressive chemicals and isn't subject to mechanical forces such as compression, pressure or tension.
• Cleaning: Only ever clean the helmet and its components with lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Aggressive cleaning agents and solvents can corrode the helmet material and compromise its protective effect.
• If the helmet is involved in a fall or crash, you have no choice but to replace it.

By looking after the helmet and storing it properly, you can stop the material from aging too quickly and ensure that the helmet continues to protect your child throughout the product lifespan.
