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"

"Throughout
more than 20 years as an emergency paramedic, I have encountered
numerous worried parents who have called an ambulance because
their young toddler took a fall and suffered a head injury. While
most are minor, some have resulted in serious and debilitating
injuries. The Thudguard product is the first of its kind Ive
seen that offers sufficient protection during the formative months
as young children develop balance and learn to walk. It is light-weight,
unobtrusive, and in my experience, well-tolerate by busy and curious
youngsters. We provided one for my grandson, and I heartily encourage
their use by any parent, grandparent or guardian concerned about
preventing head injuries in children."

"It
is about time that someone has addressed the diffuse head injuries
that are so invisible but on the rise for toddlers learning to
walk. Thudguard is a one of a kind invention. As a practicing
neurophysiologist, I highly endorse this incredible product."

"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".

"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".

"...
should make a valuable contribution to risk reduction in a similar
way to cycle helmets..."

"
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".
