When you see a 7-month-old bouncing around in this soft headgear, which stretches as the kid grows, you might be quick to say that this is the child of hysterically overprotective children. Thudguard Baby Helmets But when you consider all the large number of head injuries that children under two suffer, you stop laughing, and start thinking that this newly patented product -- now available in the U.S. -- might catch on. Perhaps that's why Thudguards got an endorsement from British Association of Accident and Emergency Medicine. "You will always get 'fanatics' at each end of the scale and I believe that their discussions will cause people to look at the product where they can make their own judgments," says Thudguard inventor Kelly Forsyth-Gibson, who spent ten years working on the product. "Innovation has a history of being mocked, however, I believe there is nothing funny about the injury prevention of our children."
