In order to choose the right protection kit, you need to go to the store with your child. During the fitting and selection of child protection for videos, use the following guidelines:
- The helmet should sit tight enough on the head, but do not squeeze it. It is better to choose models with foam pads - thanks to them a soft fit is provided, and the inner surface of the helmet takes the form of the child's head. In addition, the helmet should not be too heavy for the baby not to take it off. It is not out of place that there will be a size fixer, with it you will be able to use the helmet for several years. During fitting, arrange the helmet so that the size lock is at the rear and the buckle under the chin, and the distance from it to the skin should be comparable to the thickness of the index finger.
- Knee pads should consist of a plastic flap, which is designed to protect the knee cap, and a thick foam pad under the shield. For the youngest children it is better to choose models in the form of a stocking, which is worn on the foot through the bottom, and not just attached to the knee. To properly wear the knee pads, see which one is for the right and which is for the left foot. Usually this is indicated on the fastener or label in the form of letters "R" and "L". Then it is necessary to place the flap on the knee with a wide part upwards and tighten the Velcrocks. Knee pads are usually sold complete with elbow pads and handhelds.
- The elbow pads are a small copy of the knee pads, which means they dress the same way.
- Naladonniki consist of 2 plastic shields and foam pads under them, as well as 2 or 3 Velcro. Keep the shields firmly fixed part of the palm and wrist joint. You need to put on your handhelds, starting with your thumb, - it must be placed in a special hole.
- Protective "armored wear" is worn over ordinary trousers, the label should be placed behind. It is better to choose shorts made of mesh material so that the baby's skin can breathe. Ensure that the protective shield from the rear is located directly on the coccyx.
