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.
Is my baby’s soft spot (fontanelle), really that vulnerable?
No. True, it can make some rare accidents more dangerous (direct penetrating trauma to that spot by protruding or sharp areas), but for the most common falls experienced by all babies, the soft spot cushions and protects.

Keyfacts
Size
This stretchy, comfortable design is suitable for the ages between 7 months to just over 2 years, depending on the size of the child's head, stretching from 40 to 50 centimetres or 16 to 20 inches in circumference. It is recommended to take a measurement of your child's head first to confirm the compatibility of the Thudguard sizing.
Weight
Thudguard is one of the lightest head guards in the world, weighing just less than 100 grams / 3.2 oz. This ultra lightweight design is extremely important for an infant's developing neck muscles.
Materials
Thudguard helps cushion the forehead, side and back of the head. It is made from ultra lightweight High Density Foam and medium weight, soft-spun poly / lycra. This makes it ideal for stretching and keeping the shape of the helmet allowing it to be very durable and easily kept clean.
