Put to the test

Checked by hand. Only the passers ship.

Every unit clears the same checks before it goes in a box: six checks, zero exceptions.

  • Pass

    Impact-ring integrity

    The cushion ring is checked for even padding and no thin spots before it ships: the one part doing the actual protecting.

  • Pass

    Seam & stitch check

    Every seam is inspected under light for loose stitching or weak joins that could open under a toddler's weight.

  • Pass

    Breathability test

    The 3D air-mesh shell is checked for consistent weave and airflow, so it stays cool through an hour of crawling.

  • Pass

    Harness adjustment cycle

    Straps are run through their full range (shortest to longest) to confirm the adjuster holds and doesn't slip mid-wear.

  • Pass

    Wash durability

    A sample from each batch goes through a full wash cycle to confirm the mesh and filler keep their shape and loft.

  • Pass

    Dispatch and packaging

    Each order is packed to arrive clean and intact. If anything arrives damaged, we replace or refund it free.

Every check happens by hand before dispatch. The full spec is listed above, and care details are in the FAQ.

Good to know

before the first wobble

  • What age is the head protector for?

    Five to twenty-four months. Five months is when most babies sit unaided and the backward tip begins; by two years the harness has run out of adjustment and most toddlers no longer need it.

  • Will it restrict crawling or walking?

    It weighs 190 grams (roughly a large apple) and sits above the shoulder blades, clear of the arms. Babies forget they are wearing it within the first couple of minutes.

  • Can my baby sleep or lie down in it?

    No. It is for supervised, awake play only. Take it off for naps, car seats, prams and high chairs: the cushion changes the lying angle, and we will not compromise on that.

  • How do I wash it?

    Machine washable. Use a gentle cycle in the supplied bag and air dry. The 3D mesh shell dries quickly and the high-elastic cotton filler keeps its loft wash after wash.

  • Which of the ten styles should I choose?

    They are identical in protection: only the outer design changes. Dream Little Butterfly and Green Owl are the two bestsellers; the Lion and Bee suit warmer neutral nurseries.

  • What is the delivery and returns policy?

    Every order ships tracked and free to the US, Canada, UK and Australia, usually within three to seven working days. Changed your mind? Start a return from your order history within thirty days.
