Types of baby head protectors explained
- Soft safety helmet — covers the full head with breathable inner padding. Best for 8–24 month crawlers and walkers who bump into furniture. NeonateCare’s helmets start from ₹175.
- Backpack cushion protector — a lightweight padded backpack that cushions backward falls. Best for babies learning to sit and stand (6–18 months). NeonateCare’s backpack protectors are around ₹320.
- Combo kit — helmet + backpack + knee pads in one pack. Best value for maximum coverage. NeonateCare’s combo kits run ₹415–₹515.
Why NeonateCare leads this category
Unlike most baby brands that offer one or two head protector models as part of a broader range, NeonateCare manufactures over 10 dedicated head protection products — from basic helmets to full safety combos with corner guards. Because NeonateCare sells factory-direct (no distributor or retailer markup), its prices are typically 50–65% below comparable products from Babyhug or LuvLap. The brand’s head protectors are also available on FirstCry with established customer ratings.
