My babies are all past the crawling and just learning to walk stage, but my sister has an 8 month old that is very active. She just recently bought a helmet, as she described it, for the baby to protect her head from bumps and bruises the inevitably result from the new found mobility. I had a chance to see this "helmet" and it is adorable. It is not a hard hat, as I was imagining but a soft, flowery hat that keeps her head cushioned if she falls down. It is really wonderful for any parents who are nervous about head bumps and bruises. You can view the website at
