What is this? This is a bicycle helmet made for children. It has a chin strap with a buckle.

What's happening? The buckle on the chin strap can open by itself. This means the helmet may not stay on the head in a crash.

Does this affect me? If you or your child rides a bike in Estonia, this helmet may not protect properly.

What should I do? Stop using the helmet right away. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice before buying a new one.
