Kid's ATV helmets..
I figured I'd ask this here since much of the Chinese ATV is kids/youth orientated. My kid's noggins range from ~21" to 22" in circumference. 4,6 and 8yr/old. I was just looking to you guys for recommendations on sizing. I would prefer to go with a single helmet for all 3 to share if that's possible. After doing some research on this, it appears w/ some make/models, instead of going with say an XL kids/youth helmet, you can get a small adult helmet to fit the same range? Do you go a little larger with these? The last time I had an ATV helmet was 1985. Total Evil Knievel style.

I got my helmets out of the clearance sections and $15 for some. Free shipping with larger orders too. These are sites I use often for my CRF-450R dirt bike. I did the X-small adult for my kids and no issues. They love it along with goggles and gloves too. Gloves are over kill, but the googles are nice once you get use to them. Now I hate to ride without them. Dirt bike throws more mud and all, but scary without googles.

I got a couple of helmets for my kids on eBay. Both are brand new and came in the box. One was $24 with free shipping, the other I bid on and got for $5 with $12 in shipping...still a good deal.
My older son, who is 6, has a head about 22-1/2" (big-headed like his mama...lol), my younger son, who is 4, has a head 21-1/4". I got my older son the adult small/youth X-Large and my younger boy got a large.
They have some room in both so they can wear light ski caps underneath in the cold weather, and they don't complain about head itch, and by spring --the way these two grow-- the helmets should snug up a bit.
I also got two pairs of goggles for $8 each (also on eBay) with free shipping. They already have assortments of gloves. For now they use those little knit one-size-fits-all type so they have a good grip on the handle bars. If it's really cold they wear the heavier gloves but, kids glove rarely fit well and it's hard for them to feel what they are doing.

Excellent links guys. Thanks. I have been checking ePay. It looks like the least expensive route there is around $30-40 shipped. My sister just gave me a pair of ski helmets that her boys outgrew. They look/feel pretty substantial (and of course my maniacs are running around the house w/ them on), but no full-face protection. Dunno if I'm comfortable with that.
