Why is the Thudguard Unique?
One of the many reasons that Thudguard was granted its patent was because of the design eliminating the need for small, medium and large head sizing for a pre determined age group. A child's head grows faster in the first few years than in any other time of life so Thudguard accommodates for this by stretching, or growing with the child a full 10 centimetres while still giving tested and certified impact protection.
Thudguard is the only expandable head guard in the world that can claim this making this revolutionary new product truly unique. Thudguard complies with the Department of Trade & Industry's' Personal Protective Equipment Directive, Category II.
What is Thudguard made of? 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.Thudguard® helps cushion the forehead, side and back of the head. PLEASE DO NOT USE IF ALLERGIC TO SYNTHETIC MATERIALS.
Thudguard® is the only baby head guard that complies with a specially written impact test specification. For example, we have all seen the television adverts where the crash test dummies in a car are put through rigorous impact testing.

About the Inventor
Kelly Forsyth-Gibson, a mother of three from Aberdeen, Scotland, invented the Thudguard Infant Protective Safety Hat over 12 years ago after her daughter, then aged one, had a horrible fall resulting in a significant bump to her head. Ms. Forsyth- Gibson searched high and low for a safety hat that was lightweight, fun to wear, attractive to children and most importantly could reduce bumps and bruises. She was unsuccessful in her search ... and that is how the Thudguard was born.

"It is a pleasure to support the 'Thudguard' in my capacity as President of the British Association for Accident and Emergency Medicine. Any device which helps to reduce the number of head injuries sustained by young children each year is most welcome." ~John Heyworth, President, British Association for Accident and Emergency Medicine

As a practicing neurophysiologist, I highly endorse this incredible product."~ Dr. Kevin Fleming. Ph.D., P.C. , Neurophysiologist, Jackson Hole, Wyoming USA
"I think the Thudguard will be welcomed by many parents as a piece of equipment that may provide protection for children from a head injury.

When should my infant wear a Thudguard?
- First stage: Usually the early months when baby is sitting up and/or crawling and especially if there is hard flooring. Thudguard can be used, (perhaps twice a day) usually after a nap when baby is most alert and wants to explore the ground of a safe allocated room.
- Second stage:When babies fall, they usually land head first, since their centres of gravity are in their heads (adults' centres of gravity are in our bottoms). The head hits the floor with a terrible, ripe-melon-like "thud." Thankfully, most of these head injuries are minor. A clear safe area should be created in advance of baby walking with playpen breaks in between. If baby uses the Thudguard in the first stage, then he should be good-natured enough to wear it now.
- Third stage: Your toddler although walking, may still be less than sure footed so a harness outdoors can be a great help but be prepared for the time when your toddler will insist that you let go and allow him to walk unaided.
