Learning to walk
in a world of hard surfaces
The Thudguard® infant safety hat is a revolutionary product invented in the United Kingdom. This ½ inch thick impact tested protective foam hat is designed to help absorb and reduce the impact of falls from a child’s own height and lessen the chance of head injury when infants are learning to walk.
If the chin strap is stretchy, can my child remove the hat?
We battled with the concept of using a "child proof" chin strap but the risk of childhood strangulation from chin strap snagging was more than we cared to risk therefore, we went with a stretchy chin strap that would release on the weight of the average toddler for a quick escape. A determined toddler will remove any hat and surely it's best to have this than run the risk of a forced garment around an infant's throat! A green tab at the release end of the chin strap indentifies the area quickly and allows for a faster aided removal of the garment by the parent or carer of the child, who should be present at all times - this green tab is in keeping with British Standards.
We believe that a baby or toddler should not be forced and made to wear anything that distresses the child.
If the Thudguard does not become acceptable to your child please return for a full refund (see our Terms & Conditions for returns).
