anyone used or know where to buy those baby crash helmets?

Just curious if anyone knows where I can get these stack-hats? The ones specially designed for babies newly walking)...
has anyone used them?  I know my older ones fell over a lot, and I did wonder how many brain cells they killed off! Falling down steps, whacking heads on tables etc. Azarias already hit the ground with a thud a few times, thankfully on carpet...but it still hurts.

Ive never heard of these! Ashley is contantly covered in bumps and bruises. Its a wonder no-one has called Social Services on me! I think it's all par for the course though and doesnt do any long lasting damage!

Hello 
I never heard of any baby crash helmets for bumps and falls - but my grandson had Plagiocephaly and to correct the shape of his head he wore a Starband 24/7 for about 4 months. This was a cushioned helmet - very lightweight and he hardly noticed that he had it on. I have tried to attach a pic - but not sure if it will work 

The Starband was very effective in giving him a better shaped head - but because he wore it when he was starting to walk - he got the idea that he was invincible - he would crash about and of course he never felt the bumps!!
 
We found that when he stopped wearing the band - he had to learn how to be careful - but of course his balance was better by then anyway 

His two younger brothers bump about all over the place without helmets - and its apparent that babies have very hard heads to take account of this

Seing as noone seems to have heard of it I think it's an australian invention... I think a mum entrpreneur thought it up and has now produced and marketed them.  I think I read an article somewhere in a baby or child magazine, but I also vaguely remember seeing something for sale on the net, I think ebay.com.au.  I'll do my reasearch an get back to you all... it's not a plagiocephaly helmet, it's just to protect brains from brain damage and brain cell loss (every bang to the head loses millions of brain cells). And they babg a lot...falling off the couch, slipping in wee etc

I've also seen them in the back of Parents magazine or Parenting magazine, can't remember which.............................but I saw them recently. O.k., now it is bothering, I pulled out a magazine and couldn't find it.     I'll have to go through the magazines tomorrow and try to dig it up, I know I saw it, just not sure where.

Hi, I bought one for my baby some months ago when he started walking . I bought it at Prenatal here in Spain, but I don't know if they have shops in Australia . However, I'm not for them because while the baby crash helmet is good for avoiding the babies bumping their heads constantly, it makes their heads sweat a lot so if it is quite hot there right now he won't want to have it on. My baby didn't want to have it on his head because it was starting summer when I bought it, and every time I put it on his head I had to take it off because he cried- I couldn't manage to use it so think first if you will be able to put it on your baby's head and leave him cry.
