Family bike rides are a cherished tradition, and for parents who love to share the thrill of two-wheel adventures with their children, safety is paramount. Recognizing the importance of ensuring the safety of young pillion riders, during my IIT Bombay working days as a project manager we designed and developed the ultimate kids’ pillion rider helmet under the guidance of Professor B.K Chakravarthy at IDC IITB. This innovative helmet is tailored for children aged 2 to 12, taking into account the unique ergonomics of a child’s head while blending aesthetics, comfort, and user-friendliness.
Safety as the Cornerstone
Ensuring the safety of your child as a pillion rider is our top priority, and our kid’s helmet embodies this commitment:
- Age-Appropriate Sizing: We understand that children grow at different rates. Our helmets are available in various sizes with proper adjustability to ensure a perfect fit for children aged 2 to 12.
- Impact Protection: Our helmet’s core is engineered with high-density polystyrene which absorbs and dissipates impact forces, minimizing the risk of head injuries in case of unforeseen accidents.
Aesthetic
Safety gear should not just be functional; it should also be visually appealing. Our kid’s helmet seamlessly combines safety with aesthetics
Kid-Friendly Designs: Our helmets come in a range of vibrant colors and eye-catching designs, making it a piece of gear that kids will want to wear.
Sleek Half-Face Design: Our helmet features a sleek half-face design that provides ample protection while allowing young riders to feel the wind on their faces, enhancing their biking experience.
User-Centered Design
Our helmet’s development journey was guided by the principles of user-centered design:
Ergonomic Excellence: We conducted extensive research to ensure our helmet fits comfortably and securely on a child’s head, taking into consideration the unique head shape and proportions of children.
Ventilation Holes: Comfort matters, especially on long rides. Our helmet features strategically placed ventilation holes that keep kids cool and comfortable throughout their journey.
User-Friendly Chin Strap: We recognize the importance of easy use, particularly for children. Our helmet boasts a user-friendly chin strap without a buckle lock, allowing kids to put it on and take it off with ease.
Kids’ helmet is needed in countries where parents carry their children on two-wheelers. This design of the helmet is an attempt to solve the problem and make family biking adventures memorable and secure. Let your young ones ride with confidence and style, knowing they are protected by a helmet that has been meticulously designed to cater to their unique needs.
