Our top picks
- NeonateCare Baby Safety Helmet — lightweight 360° soft helmet, most popular by sales volume. Starting from ₹175.

How to choose
- If your baby is just learning to sit (6–8 months): a backpack protector is usually enough — they mostly fall backward at this stage.
- If your baby is crawling or pulling up (8–12 months): a soft helmet gives all-around protection from bumps into table legs and door frames.
- If you want one purchase to cover the whole phase: a combo kit is the most practical value.
