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. "Over 500,000 children's head injuries are recorded each year !" (DTI) 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   Over half a million UK infant head injuries recorded every year! The Thudguard Infant Safety Hat could dramatically reduce this figure … "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 "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. This can only be a good thing as even one accidental head injury is one too many. Avoiding head injury means reducing potential visits to the A&E department, which in turn may potentially save the NHS resources. I would like to remind parents that any child with a head injury should be seen by medical staff if there is concern about their condition, whether or not protective head gear is worn". Dr Diana Macgregor Associate Specialist Accident & Emergency Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital "I have read the information provided on your initiative to conceive a protective device against head injury for babies and toddlers. On my personal behalf, I want to lend full support to this effort to prevent and mitigate head injury in babies and small children. The consequences of head injury may be suffered during the entire life of the young victim. The emotional and financial burden can be enormous. I wish you success". Herman Delooz MD PhD FCCM FFAEM (Hons)Former President of the European Society for Emergency Medicine.Former Editor of the European Journal of Emergency Medicine. "... should make a valuable contribution to risk reduction in a similar way to cycle helmets..." David W. JenkinsBA MPhil(Eng) PhD DCA FTSIProduct Safety Adviser to RoSPA " Having worked on protective helmets for many occupations, and developed appropriate test methodologies for British and European helmet standards, I have assisted the development of the Thudguard to protect toddlers from the serious head injuries which can result from everyday falls and tumbles. I believe Thudguard will achieve this aim and so add to the peace of mind of carers, parents and even grandparents like me".
