Approved Kid Kart Helmets
I'm having trouble finding a Snell helmet that falls under ASN regulations for karting. I stopped by GW cycle and spoke to someone there. He told me that they don't make junior helmets that are Snell rated. GW had some smaller adult helmets that would work but I'm not too keen on spending over $200 for my 6 year old if I can get by with any DOT helmet for half that price. Can anyone please chime in and tell me what the rules are for the kids?

I would go to Joey and buy new on this. Your head is your biggest asset and it's worth a few extra bucks to ensure it fits properly and will protect their noggin in the event of a crash.
Joey has lightweight (very important for small kids !) karting-specific helmets and he will make sure it fits properly.
