What do you think of this helmet for active toddlers?

I happened to come across this website after searching the web to find out if a helmet for active toddlers could be purchased. www.thudguard.co.uk/index.html
I'm just wondering if any parents using mumsnet have used this product, and if it's effective.
I have an 8-week-old baby, and, after enduring far too many stressful and heartstopping episodes (my daughter actually sustained a fractured skull after falling on ceramic tiles!), I'm so pleased to have discovered this product and I want to get organised for when she starts becoming active!But I'm wondering how practical it is.

wouldn't it affect their balance and make them more prone to accidents?

Interested in this thread?

Hmm
CountessDracula · 16/01/2007 16:29

maybe you could wrap them up in this too

Honestly this is madness

It looks like something that wouldn't get the cash on Dragon's Den...

Shock

Think of the helmet hair

tissy · 16/01/2007 16:32

Do you have something to do with the company, by any chance

My cursor is hovering over that little red exclamation mark!

in the absence of a speechless emoticon.

Don't want to post anymore in case it's a trick thread

tissy · 16/01/2007 16:35

honestly, if you're really worried about your child MAYBE falling and bumping his/ her head, why not get a bike helmet? It would be cheaper!

This seems like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist!

itsmeNDP · 16/01/2007 16:35

Perhaps you could get yourself one of /link{http://www.deadpopstar.com/wp-content/17sep2005/benq0010.jpg\these} too. After all, you never know

very, very poorly disguised sales pitch

WanderingTrolley · 16/01/2007 16:35

8 weeks is far too young to ride a motorcycle.

itsmeNDP · 16/01/2007 16:36

shoot, I meant one of these

tissy · 16/01/2007 16:36

so have you reported it, NDP? I'm tempted!

itsmeNDP · 16/01/2007 16:37

Nah, I want to play

HEIFER · 16/01/2007 16:37

should be under the joke section - because it certainly made me lol...

IntergalacticWalrus · 16/01/2007 16:39

Tickle my tits til Tuesday, I've seen it all now.

tissy · 16/01/2007 16:40

IGW, it is Tuesday- do you want another weeks worth , or have you had enough?

KentuckyFreudChicken · 16/01/2007 16:41

product is ridiculous!

How on earth did your 8 week old fall on a tiled floor?

CountessDracula · 16/01/2007 16:41

(phew when dh says to me tonight what have you been up to today AT LAST I will have something interesting to tell him... oh, I virtually tickled the tits of an Intergalactic Walrus )

hippmummy · 16/01/2007 16:43

I think reporting it is the least of meathmoms worries! If this is the reaction from parents to her product, it's not going to sell anyway...

Sorry meathmom, if you are just a genuine, overprotective mum .

gogogojoseph · 16/01/2007 16:44

I have got one for when I fall off the bed/chair laughing at threads like this

IntergalacticWalrus · 16/01/2007 16:44

Go on, do it for another week. Why not? I've nothing better to do
