Thudguard - In a World of Hard Surfaces

As any toddler knows, finding your feet in an uncertain world can be difficult – but now help is at hand. Thudguard infant safety hat is a revolutionary product invented in the United Kingdom by Kelly Forsyth-Gibson that aims to help a child learn to walk safely in a world full of hard surfaces. Thudguard is a half inch thick, impact tested, protective foam hat, it 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.

 According to the Department of Trade and Industry in the UK, more than 318,575 baby and toddler head injuries are recorded each year. Of course, it’s perfectly normal for young children to sustain bumps and bruises occasionally as part of exploring. Howeve r, learning to walk in a world of corners, hard floors and walls can turn a special moment into a heart rendering incident in a flash. Consider for one moment being the height of an average toddler. Look at all the furniture, hard surfaces and sharp edges you would hit if you fell on them – this can turn both inside and outside in your garden into a virtual nightmare for your child.

Thudguard provides an ideal head cushion for toddlers as they explore sitting up, crawling and pulling themselves up against furniture as well as first wobbly steps, walking and the playing outdoor stages of mobility development. The hat is equipped with a comfy stretchy circumference band which allows for growth and ventilation. The adjustable soft elastic chin-strap and ultra lightweight materials avoid pressure on developing neck muscles.

This innovative product is the only product of its type in the world that complies with safety standards and the only product endorsed by Children’s Accident & Emergency Experts. It is suitable for babies and toddlers aged 7 months to 2+ years. Thudguard helps to cushion the forehead, side of the head, back of the head and most importantly, the fontanelle.
