Works As Intended But Makes Your Baby Look Like Toad From Super Mario
We have hardwood floors. Thanks to the ginormous head-to-body ratio on most babies, it was inevitable that gravity would eventually win out over the neck muscles of an emerging crawler. Needless to say, the day finally came when I dropped my guard for a second, heard a slap followed by a wailing baby, and had to undergo a rigorous interrogation from the spouse as to how this could've happened.
I'm sure a free solution would be to never take my eyes off a crawling baby. But, I'm a realist. I can and will get distracted again. So, my second solution was this. An indoor baby helmet.
The velcro makes this product easily adjustable for any baby with a grapefruit – cantaloupe sized head. Thanks to the open top, you don't have to worry about overheating. Best of all, the spongy padding is thick enough for a little one to bop their head around like a pinball to their heart's content.
Two minor issues with the product: 1. The tie straps that secure under the chin may annoy your baby and become a target for pulling and tugging (this may or may not be amusing to some); 2. Wearing this product will make your baby look like one of the Mushroom People from Super Mario (again, this may or may not be amusing to some).
If you find the two minor issues listed above to be non-issues, then you'll probably love this product.
