THUDGUARD® KEY
FACTS:
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 centimeteters 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.
"We can't keep them in a bubble all their lives... but we can aim to keep them safe -even if it means we have to invent it."
-Kelly Forsyth-Gibson Mom/Thudguard Inventor
___________________________________________
Thudguard® has
strategically placed ventilation holes to allow heat out but REMEMBER wearing
any headgear can become hot and uncomfortable after too long. Adults know
when a helmet makes them too hot but a child DOES NOT! - Please check
constantly.
It is the parent's responsibility to monitor for overheating - especially in
very hot weather. NEVER allow a child to sleep with the hat on. Make sure
children get plenty of fluids. Water is best before, during and after prolonged
activity. Encourage a "cooling-off" time in the shade if
possible.
WARNING: THUDGUARD® IS NOT A
SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD PARENT OR CARER SUPERVISION. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE LEFT
ALONE. CLIMBING CAN CAUSE CHIN STRAP SNAGGING. HEADGEAR VENTILATION SLITS LEAVE
SOME AREA OF THE HEAD EXPOSED. THUDGUARD® IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEDAL CYCLISTS, SKATEBOARDERS
AND ROLLERSKATERS. PLEASE DO NOT USE IF ALLERGIC TO SYNTHETIC MATERIALS.
LEARNING TO WALK in a world of hard surfaces...
Learning to walk in a world of hard surfaces can turn a special moment into a heart rendering incident in a flash. It's normal for young children to sustain bumps and bruises occasionally as part of exploring; the problem is this kind of fall is very common in even the safest of homes and gardens. The damage to a falling toddler's hands and knees can be an acceptable form of pain for learning but a head injury can be traumatic for both infant and parent.
Thudguard® is a revolutionary new product, an infant safety hat, designed to help absorb and reduce the impact of head injuries due to a fall or collision. It is suitable for babies and toddlers aged 7 months to 2+ years.
Thudguard® helps cushion the
FOREHEAD
SIDE OF THE HEAD
BACK OF THE HEAD
and most importantly, the FONTANELLE
Thudguard® 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.
