A decent starter helmet for a toddler — just don't expect it to survive elementary school without a rebellion

The Retrospec Cub is a perfectly decent starter helmet for a toddler — it fits well, looks cute, and the price is right for something they’ll outgrow in a season. But don’t expect it to last through the elementary school years without a rebellion. As kids get older, they develop opinions about style and comfort, and the Cub skews young. It’s a great first helmet, just know it’s not a last helmet.
