In our world, there’s no such thing as a boys bike helmet or a girls bike helmet. We designed the Thousand Jr. as a unisex style helmet. That means, every kiddo, no matter how they identify, can find a color that’s just right for them.

The beauty of the Thousand Jr. is in the retro design. Our EPS foam mold construction is combined with a hard outer shell in four bold colorways. We’re talking Power Pink, Blazing Blue, Going Green, and So Silver. There’s a built-in visor to keep sun out of their eyes and six vents with interior cooling channels to keep the airflow going while they’re zooming around. Each helmet has a comfy vegan leather microfiber chin strap with a chin pad for added softness. The pinch-guard magnetic buckle makes getting in and out of the helmet a breeze.

You won’t find Spider-Man or mohawks or princesses around here. But you will find a blank canvas and super fun reflective stickers to let their creative personalities shine. Oh, and did we mention the retro design?

Grade-schoolers, this helmet’s for you. The Thousand Jr. youth bike helmet is recommended for kids ages 5-11. It’ll fit any child’s head with a circumference of 49-53cm. The built-in fit system ensures a perfect fit with just a few clicks to tighten or loosen. So grab your Schwinn, hop on that banana bike seat and get riding! Just don’t forget to wear a helmet!

We care about safety. It’s why we started the company in the first place. The Thousand Jr. multi-sport helmet is safety certified times three — including CPSC, ASTM, and CE — for biking, roller skating, and skateboarding in both North America and Europe. In addition to biking, it can be worn as a skateboard helmet, a scooter helmet, and a BMX helmet.

At this time, we don’t currently offer an MIPS kids bike helmet. That said, we’re continually innovating and may decide to explore an MIPS helmet design for youth in the future.

The Thousand Jr. comes in one size: Extra Small, which measures 19.3-20.9 inches (49-53cm). It’s designed to grow with your child. With just a few clicks, the fit system dials in a perfect fit and can be tightened or loosened depending on your child’s head circumference.

It’s easy to measure your child’s head.

• Step 1: Wrap a flexible measuring tape or string around the largest part of your child’s head. It should sit around two finger widths above their eyebrows. You can even use a phone or computer charger.
• Step 2: Mark the spot where the top end meets the other side of the measuring object. Then, use a ruler to measure the length (if it’s not a measuring tape).
• Step 3: Compare the length against a size chart. If you have an older kid whose head measures more than 20.9 inches (53cm), you might consider choosing the Heritage Bike Helmet in size Small.

We released the Thousand Jr. in response to all of the thoughtful feedback about offering a kids bike helmet. Unlike some brands and styles you might be familiar with (Joovy Noodle Helmet, Raskullz Miniz, Giro Scamp, Bern Nino, and others), we don't currently have a toddler bike helmet or infant helmet.

That’s not to say that we won’t in the future. Our product development team is busy imagining the next Thousand innovation. To stay up to date on releases, we recommend joining our email list located at the bottom of our website and following us on Instagram.

Thousand Jr. comes in four kid-approved soft touch or glossy premium finishes. Power Pink is a solid matte blush rose. Blazing blue is a matte royal blue. Going Green is a matte emerald green. So Silver is a glossy silver with all-over sparkle. Each color is paired with complementary matte white along the perimeter of the helmet for a retro look. Style meets safety for the adventurous and active kids in your life.

Glad you asked! We put together four custom sticker packs to encourage kiddos to express themselves.They’re reflective for extra visibility and removable for endless creative combinations. Here’s an idea: Grab the Letters pack to make a personalized helmet or fun Haikus. Or, try the Jr. Activist pack for the little changemaker in your life.

We also designed and developed the Thousand Jr. Bicycle Bell for little hands. It features matching (or mixing) colorways just like in the Thousand Jr. youth bike helmet collection. Our steel bells have a glossy finish and come in four different designs inspired by the sticker packs. It fits most standard handlebars with a 22.2mm diameter.
