The Alpina Carapax Junior is for older children who have outgrown smaller toddler helmets and measure into the 51-56 cm range. Its visor, trail-leaning shape, and deeper rear coverage make more sense for rougher family rides than for first balance-bike use.
Choose something smaller for preschool heads, and check separately if a built-in rear light matters. This pick is mainly about fit, coverage, and visor protection for a bigger child. The helmet should sit level with the straps closed and should not slide forward during a simple shake test.
