Cons
Con Too tight for larger heads, and too large for toddlers
This helmet might be too tight for people with a larger-than-average head, as this helmet comes in two sizes only and there's only so far you can go with the adjustable dial. The sizing starts at around 50cm in diameter, so it will definitely be too big for toddlers.
Con Detachable visor can be dangerous in the event of a crash
It is recommended to use this helmet without the visor because of its sharp and pointy shape. It can get detached in a crash and pose a health risk.
