Joovy Noodle MIPS Helmet

The only MIPS helmet built specifically for the toddler head shape

The Joovy Noodle MIPS fills a genuine gap in the market: most 'youth' helmets start too large for heads under 50cm. The Noodle's rounder shape is designed specifically for toddler head anatomy, with soft padding, an easy magnetic buckle, and full MIPS protection — something most toddler helmets skip entirely.

✓ Pros

  • One of the only MIPS helmets designed for the rounder toddler head shape
  • Magnetic buckle — young children can manage it independently
  • Ultra-soft interior padding gentle on sensitive toddler skin

✕ Cons

  • Multi-sport certified only, not dual-certified for skateboarding
  • Fits 48–52cm heads; fast-growing toddlers may size out quickly
