Indian-origin mom created first certified multisport helmets for Sikh kids

Tina Singh, an Ontario mother, created what she claims is the first safety-certified multisport helmet to meet the needs of Sikh children in particular, including her own according a Canadian-based newspaper. The report said that the model was designed after she couldn’t find any helmet on the market to accommodate her sons’ turbans. Singh has been working on this model for the past two years till she perfected it and now it’s in production and certified for use with bicycles, inline skates, kick scooters and skateboarding for kids over the age of five. The helmet fulfills the dual requirement of fitting the child’s hair with a domed portion on the top and at the same time fitting the way a helmet should: two finger spaces above the eyebrow, creating a “v” shape around the ear and one finger space between the chinstrap and the ear. In December 2022 her innovation received a passing grade from the international testing company SGS.
