SafeheadBABY is the classic story of necessity being the mother of invention. Getting Jonathan, our 1 year old to learn to walk carefully before he could run was ‘mission impossible’ for us. Falls and minor bruises were acceptable but whenever there was a blow to the head it was very traumatic, not just for him but for us too. In a fraction of a second we have seen laughter turn into tears. We have felt helpless for not being able to reach him in time to break the fall. If we were only a second quicker to react… We had been through the drill several times – check for any bleeding or swelling, run to the freezer for ice cubes, watch out for any nausea and hope there has been no internal damage done. We were convinced that we had to find something that would take the protection right to his head because no matter how many corners or edges we tried to cover and how many soft foam play mats we put around, he always managed to hurt his head. We wished we had some kind of protective yet comfortable cap that he would be happy to keep on while he is playing and active. Due to an unsuccessful attempt to find a product of this nature, the idea of SafeheadBABY was born and our journey began. The first step was to come up with something that was not only extremely lightweight and comfortable, but would also provide good ventilation without compromising on protection. Getting the padding placement just right for the most important areas, being able to accommodate the baby’s head growth and for it to fit snugly without slipping off easily were other critical factors taken into consideration.
