After my last thread I accidently typed in the wrong word when showing a family the website for Thudguard (as their little 8 month old girl came in with a split forehead), I typed in the wrong "Thumguard" instead of "Thudguard". This brought up a totally different product but I would like to rate them against each other and see if your opinion comes out the same as my work mates.
0 - 10 with 10 being very useful product and 0 being absolutly stupid!
How mad is the world getting? if this were corrective headwear, say for a preemie with an elongated head, that would be a different story. But protective headwear for toddlers, too far!
Why not? I have a 2 y/o boy who bumps his head a LOT. The U.S. price, with shipping is around $50. This would be less than an emregency visit copay...just a little more than an office visit.
We have our children wearing bicycle helmets, right? We strap them into car seats. Why NOT protect a toddler's head?
I see your point about your two year old, but we all were two years old once, jees, I even had three of my own, who fell over, bumped bits and got up and got on with being a toddler! in this day and age, we go so overboard, kiddos not allowed to compete against each other in school races..(it's bad for self esteem!!), and not allowed to play football or hit chestnuts, for fear of being hurt. Its carrying things to extreme, unless the headgear is medically indicated.
:lol2: Good one mike!

I bumped my head many times as a child, and also as an adult, and it has never bothered me at all.
Also, it has never bothered me at all.
