This helmet scored well with Katie, the mum of our child tester, who said, "Ive been impressed by the magnetic clip on the chin strap great that I cant accidentally catch her skin and by the adjustment ring and the LED, making it easy to fit and improving visibility." That said, the position of the light is at the lowest point of the helmet, on the base of the head, so easily covered by a jacket hood or collar
