Shop Kids Helmet and Pads | Skateboard Protective Gear

When kids ride, falls happen. The right protective gear makes sure a tumble stays a tumble , not a trip to the ER. Madd Gear has been building gear for real riders since 2002, and our CPSC-certified helmets and kids helmet and pads sets bring that same action sports DNA to every session. Whether your child is hitting the skatepark, learning to skateboard, or cruising on a balance bike , skateboard protective gear isn't optional. It's the first thing you buy.

Complete Kids Helmet and Pads , Built for Real Riders

From casual street sessions to full skatepark action, Madd Gear's kids helmet and pads sets keep young riders covered head to knee. Each piece in our skateboard protective gear lineup is impact-resistant, designed to move with your child , not against them. Our helmet and pads don't just meet safety standards. They're built to be worn all day without complaint.

CPSC-Certified Skateboard Protective Gear

Not all protective gear is equal. Every Madd Gear helmet carries CPSC certification , the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's mandatory safety standard for kids helmet and pads sold in America. Inside, an EPS foam liner compresses on impact to absorb energy away from your child's skull. Outside, a hard ABS shell holds its shape so the foam does its job. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, certified helmets reduce head injury risk by up to 85% , making skateboard protective gear the single most effective safety decision a parent can make.

If it isn't CPSC certified, it isn't protection. It's just a hat.

Built for Comfort , Because Kids Won't Wear What They Hate

The most protective helmet and pads are the ones your kid actually keeps on. Madd Gear's skateboard protective gear is designed with that reality in mind:

• Adjustable dial-fit system , secure fit in seconds, no tools needed
• Ventilation channels , airflow that keeps sessions going longer
• Soft interior padding , comfortable for hours of riding
• Bold colorways , designs kids genuinely want to wear

No more helmet abandoned at the top of the driveway. Proper kids helmet and pads should feel like part of the ride, not a chore before it.

Multi-Sport Protection for Active Families

Madd Gear's skateboard protective gear is certified across multiple activities , meaning one helmet covers scootering, skateboarding, cycling, longboarding, balance biking, and inline skating. For families with active kids, that's one smart investment instead of separate pads and helmet sets for every sport.

If your child rides it, this gear protects it.

Sizing Guide , Get the Right Fit

Skateboard protective gear that doesn't fit correctly doesn't protect correctly. Use this before ordering:

Helmet Sizing:

• XS/S: ages 5–8, head circumference approx. 52–54 cm
• M/L: ages 8–14, head circumference approx. 54–58 cm

Fit check: The helmet should sit level, two finger-widths above the eyebrows. It shouldn't rock in any direction. The chin strap should be snug , two fingers fit underneath, no more.

When to replace: Replace any helmet immediately after a significant impact, even with no visible damage. EPS foam is a one-time-use material. Plan to replace kids helmet and pads every 3–5 years regardless of crashes, or whenever your child has outgrown the fit.
