Little help for my daughter if you don't mind please

Are adjustable riding helmets any good?

What brand helmet would you recommend for a child?

Uvex riding helmet, lightweight and adjustable. I found the champion helmets a bit heavy. She’s been riding since she was 2, she’s now 5 and it’s been the best helmet

I have a Whittaker adjustable helmet ( but I am an adult so not necessarily a recommendation!)

I bought purely because none of the fixed sizes worked for me.

It fulfilled all the insurance requirements ( with the safety logos etc) of the riding school I was using at the time so I assumed it was just as safe as a fixed one.

The best hat is the one that fits best (assuming current safety standards of course). Take her to get a proper fitting and try a few on.

Very helpful, thank you so much for your replies everyone

Adjustable helmets didn't exist when I had a horse or at least I had never seen them

I have a Premier Equine one. Not the most expensive brand but it fits well. You just have to go and try a bunch on and see which fits best.
