Comments: : I got this for my 2 year old and he loves wearing it. Solid and there are twobuckling systems that you can choose to fasten the chin strap. This a great solid starter helmet for kids that will leave parents happy that their kids are well protected.

Comments: I bought one of these Lil Sport helmets for my 5-yr-old daughter as she began to play hockey a year ago. The helmet and cage have worked great with a game and a practice almost every week. The fit and light weight are excellent. The chin-strap clip is a very nice touch on this kids' helmet rather than more difficult to handle snaps. Of course, the model with pink lettering was a hit with my daughter. After seeing my daughter's helmet, a few other parents on her team bought this model for their sons, and everyone seems happy with their helmets. My only complaint is that the little slider for the occipital adjustment keeps sliding down to the largest setting (i.e., eliminating the adjustments made to the occipital fit). I easily solved this problem by placing a strip of tape over the slider to hold it in place after adjusting it to a medium occipital setting.
