Full face helmet for a little kid

[Labcanary]

My 3 year old is convinced he needs a full face helmet. Apparently he's not disturbed by seeing his uncle @Plankosaurus getting loaded into an ambulance.
Any recommendations? Reasons for or against?
Kid has a pin head like his Mum.

Want a more moto style freebie to try him out?
It’s a youth XS.

Honestly, I should just text you directly for any of my mtb questions @moorey!

I bought a met parachute for my 3.5 year old from velogear pretty sure it's one of the lightest full faces available. Which is probably important when their little.

Possssibly the lazer might come in close to the parachute. It's definitely lighter than the bell super 3r. Also has the bug catcher of the proframe, best of all 3!

(I would have considered one if I hadn't seen first hand what the proframe can do in a stack. Mucho trust)

My youngest son has a crack all the way through on his Proframe chin bar. I know he's had a few small crashes but he reckons there was no hit on the front of the helmet.

Pushys has sent the info to Fox Au, they'll know if its a common issue or a tall 'just riding along' story.

Hoping for a crash replacement price at worst, though been 3 weeks now.

Dropped off the end of the bars?

Not sure, would expect the chinbar to survive that though.

We had our kids in these Cratoni helmets from prob 1.5 yrs. This is the modern day version me thinks. They converted to a half shell, super light but you wouldn't what to hit a tree at 30kms with one Had our boy in one pretty much 24/7, even when he was just walking around as he would try and break the earth with his head everyday. Great little helmets for the really little ones, mainly for the weight.

We went to "The" full face helmets when the kids started BMX racing at 3ish. The earlier versions were good but the later versions were too bulky, heavy and awkward fits. And from 5 they just went TLD Full faces.

Well, got an email from Pushys today asking what colour I wanted the replacement helmet to be as there was no white.

Looks like Fox Au are replacing it on warranty. Which is awesome !
