The Uvex kid 2 cc raccoon matt is a children’s protective helmet designed for everyday cycling and urban riding. It uses in-mold construction to bond the outer shell with the impact-absorbing liner, resulting in a lightweight and compact helmet that offers basic head protection for young riders. The matt finish reduces glare and gives a subdued appearance while typical youth-focused design elements provide comfortable wear and an adjustable fit.
Advantages
This helmet combines in-mold construction with a low-weight profile to deliver effective shock absorption without adding bulk. The matt surface is resistant to noticeable scratches and reflections, and the integrated fit system allows precise sizing for a secure, stable fit during short commutes, leisure rides or trips to school. Ventilation ports and an ergonomic inner shape promote comfort during active use.
Suitable for
- Everyday cycling in urban and suburban environments
- Short rides to school or playground
- Balancing and learning-to-ride sessions for young children
- Family bike outings and casual recreational use
When it may not be suitable
The Uvex kid 2 cc raccoon matt is developed as a basic protective helmet for children and is not intended for high-speed cycling, downhill mountain biking, or competitive racing where specialized helmets with additional certification and structural reinforcement are required. It may also lack some advanced features such as integrated lights or communication devices that older riders might prefer.
Key specifications
- Construction: In-mold shell bonded to impact-absorbing liner
- Finish: Matt surface
- Target user: Children / youth
- Fit: Adjustable secure-fit system for size tuning
- Weight: Lightweight construction suitable for kids

How to use
Adjust the fit system so the helmet sits level on the head with the front edge approximately one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows. Tighten the chin strap so it is snug but comfortable and fasten the buckle. Regularly check the fit and straps before every ride and replace the helmet after any significant impact or visible damage. Clean with mild soap and water and avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that may degrade the helmet materials.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm helmet size and adjustability to match the child’s head circumference
- Check that the helmet meets applicable safety standards in your region
- Consider visibility needs—matt finish reduces glare but does not increase reflectivity
- Evaluate ventilation and comfort for the intended riding conditions
Usage recommendations
For optimal protection, replace the helmet after any crash, and ensure straps are fastened for every ride. Pair the helmet with visible clothing or additional reflectors for low-light conditions, and choose the correct size so the helmet does not move excessively during normal activity.
