For safe and stylish riding in either pink or blue, the Halfords Junior Leisure Helmet is a perfect choice. The micro-adjust system means you’ll easily find the perfect fit for your child, so they’ll be safe and comfortable.
An EPS safety liner gives added impact protection, and the 17 cooling vents will keep your little one comfortable on long sunny rides. As well as being stylish, the bright colours help your child to be seen on darker nights, and you can attach our LED rear light for even safer riding.
Halfords Kids Camo & Confetti Helmets
For younger style-focused kids, the Halfords Kids Camo Helmet should be right up their street. You can easily adjust it to fit your little one with the simple dial at the back of the helmet, for a safe and snug fit.
To keep little heads cool, the 8 vents allow air to flow through so you can enjoy long days in the sunshine. With the funky blue camo design and a comfortable padded chin strap, your kids will be safe riding in style.
Or, for riders wanting to stand out in pink, the Halfords Kids Confetti Helmet comes complete with a multi-coloured confetti pattern.
Black & Grey Junior Mitts
For older kids itching to get outside and explore further, these junior mitts allow them to level up their riding. Designed for performance, the stretchy and breathable fabric is perforated to increase airflow, while the silicone-printed palm ensures maximum grip on the handlebars.
The palms also feature foam padding, so they’ll be safely protected against any particularly rough terrain, and the adjustable wrist fastening means these mitts are sure to stay on. When the day’s riding is done, the finger-pull tabs allow them to remove the mitts easily.

Plastic Woven Bike Basket
If you’re heading out on a long family bike ride, you’ll likely be bringing some things with you.

The Halfords Essential Ping Bike Bell adds a pop of colour to your little one’s handlebars, whether they’re into blue or pink, and will give them a handy way to tell other people that they’re riding nearby. It’s quick and easy to fit, so you can attach the bell to your child’s handlebars and off they go!
Halfords Junior Bottle 600ml

Halfords Protection Pad Set
For budding BMXers and adventure riders, it’s well worth picking up a protection pad set. Keep elbows, knees and wrists protected against tumbles and falls for fun and safe high-intensity riding.
They’re available in sizes 11-15yrs and 7-11yrs, as well as a knee & elbow set for your littlest adventurers. The slip-on design makes staying protected quick and easy, and the soft elasticated back fabric means they’re not compromising comfort.
