If kiddo nails it, face first, the scamp has a little peak, hopefully keeping their face off the ground.
I think in reality either will be more than safe it’s just style preference

No, we did not have ventilation issues. Not even during multi hour cycling trips inside a Bullitt.
Recently we replaced the helmet with an Uvex hlmt 4 as he had grown out of the Dime. We have been using the Dime for almost three years without issues.
Much less weight, nicer colors and more ventilation for the Uvex.
He cycles on his own now (alongside one of use) and is the king of slow riding. Ventilation is now more important now due a lack of airflow.Those skate style helmets are heavy! The Uvex is much lighter compared to the Dime. In hindsight I would not have ordered a Dime but something with less weight.
Dime MIPS size xs: 405 gram
HLMT 4 CC size 51-55 cm: 252 gram
Weighted using our kitchen scale.

Any thoughts on the merits of a Giro Dime vs a more road/hybrid one like the Scamp?
@Wouter - did you ever have heat/ventilation issues?
My gut says skate style hemlets are always safer. The kid will be a passenger for at least the next 3-5 months and then it would just be a balance bike, so I wouldn't have thought the heat would be an issue.
Cheers.
