Kids have a remarkable talent for turning absolutely anything into an adventure. A pavement becomes a racetrack, a small ramp becomes the biggest jump in the world, and suddenly you're watching them attempt something you wouldn't dream of trying yourself. Bell knows all about this enthusiasm, which is why they've created the Span Kids BMX Helmet. It's got proper skate-inspired styling, a comfortable fit and the protection needed for young riders finding their feet on two wheels. Or four, if the skateboard comes out.
The Span takes the classic BMX and skate helmet design and gives it a modern update, with a compact shell that sits closer to the head for a cleaner, less bulky appearance. Bell's Action Fit system makes adjustments simple, using an easy-to-turn dial to help keep the helmet comfortably and securely positioned. It's also certified for both cycling and skating, making it a practical choice for kids who can't quite decide which activity they enjoy more. And let's face it, that decision probably changes every other afternoon.
