I can appreciate Michelle Malkin's dilema with protecting her kids. I have two kids, a two year old son and a 9 month old daughter. My son will climb on anything. He falls or trips an average of 30 times a day. Most of these he recovers from without some much as an exhaled breath. My daugher is Queen Sissy. She looks at the floor and starts crying. It is challenging since she wants to be as mobile as her brother. If she "stumbles" while crawling and bumbs her head on the ground, she crys as if you were pulling teeth.
Like Michelle, I don't have any use for this new product:
"Anyway, we try not to hover over the kids too much as they venture onto the set of 'Lord of the Mall Flies.' My son still stumbles, especially now that he's trying to get used to his sneakers/teethers with soles, but I can't cover him head to toe in bubble wrap. Ridiculous idea, right? He's gotta take some lumps, right? You can't protect the little ones from every last little boo-boo and thud-emitting fall.
Well, apparently not all parents agree. In England, an over-paranoid mother (who bills herself as a 'finalist in the British female inventor of the year awards') has created Thudguard. (Hat tip: Matt Rosenberg and Not On My Watch.) It's an infant/toddler protective helmet--not for riding bikes or scooters, but for standing and walking."
