The Giro Scamp Mips II is one of the best helmet options for very young riders, especially kids on balance bikes or first pedal bikes. The biggest challenge at this age is getting a helmet that actually fits. The Scamp is available in very small sizes, and Giro’s fit system makes it easy to snug the helmet down as kids grow.

This version includes Mips, which adds rotational impact protection over the standard Scamp II. For parents choosing between the two, this is the upgrade I’d make first. The helmet is still light, comfortable, and easy enough for small kids to tolerate, which is just as important as the safety tech. A better helmet only helps if your kid will actually wear it.

The Scamp Mips II is the right pick if you want a high-quality toddler and little-kid helmet with a more protective build than the base model. If visibility is the priority, Giro also offers Scamp versions with rear LED options, or you can add the Giro Scamp II Vent Light separately.
