My son is 7 1/2 months and is very big for his age and we still use this product. We keep it in his stroller now, it's great for when he falls asleep it provides better support for his head than just laying on the stroller backrest

Typically, it is best to correct head malformations naturally (i.e., through the use of re-positioning and/or pillows) prior to 6 months. When 6 months hits, your clock is ticking before the cranial bones thicken to the point at which treatment becomes ineffective (about 12 months). If your is 6 months old and still has a malformation, discuss it immediately with your pediatrician and/or a craniofacial specialist. More advanced treatment (i.e., helmets or, in rare cases, surgery) is available. However, if you are just looking to prevent a malformation, I'm sure the other answers on this page will be useful.

My son is six and half months old, weighs about 22lbs. Still great for night time sleeping. Just he is becoming more active, sometimes he wouldn't stay in it well during daytime.

I would say nothing lose to give it a try, it worked to my baby who has a 100% large head in every baby checkup. My son used it from 1 month to 5 month.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

It should. It really just cradles the head so it doesn't have pressure in one spot. I used it until I got a StarBand helmet for my daughter who had classic brachycephaly (flat back of the head). If you child has this ask your pediatrician about a referral for a StarBand. It has worked wonders, her head is almost completely rounded out after 3 months!

I say yes - my son's head was in the 95% is whole life and we used this until he was a year and a half.

I would not recommend because it wont fit I bought this for my 3 month old it was already small. She never slept on it cuz I guess it was uncomfortable.

I would measure head, and get the largest size that will still fit. These helmets are awesome and to be able to adjust it with a turn off a knob, brilliant. That way your able to make it bigger as he grows.

Hm.. depends on head size. I'd say it will go as small as a size 6 head. it's not designed for toddlers though

Yes this would fit a 6 year old I bought a while ago when my little was 4 . Hes now six and still wears :)

Yes my daughter is 4 months and she fits perfectly in the 3 to 6 months. We will probably upgrade to a bigger size around 7 months:)

It will not fit snugly unless your child has a larger than average head. My 3.5 and 2.5 wore them recently for a photo shoot, and the hats were slightly too large for them (but cute anyway, as props tend to be.) The hats would not have stayed on well outside the portrait studio, though.

This may fit a toddler my daughter does have a small head. She is the one wearing it my granddaughter tried it on she looked like "cousin it" from Adams family. But it didn't fall off. She's 2 1/2 Hope that helps a little.

My baby first used this product at about that age and he has a rather large head but it fits him although a bit snug. I prefer this for an older baby and not a newborn because it's a rather tight grip around baby's head.

Yep! I think as long as baby is holding her head up, it works great. We loved it for our 6 month old.

hhmm....I believe they have a size chart on their website, but if it were me, I would get the 6-9 month size. The one I have is 3-6 months and I'm sure my son would not really fit in it right now at 6 months and he is also small for his age. Hope it helps your baby!

My daughter is a petite 3 and a half year old and it fits her great. A little lose but still a great fit that allows her to grow into it a little. I will measure my daughters head when I get home and repost. Btw sorry for the late reply.

It didn't for ours as our baby was only close to six pounds when born. She is six mounths old now and still small for her size she does fit it good now. Hope this helps.

We bought this last summer when my son was about 6 months. It was a little too big for him then. He is now 15 months (70th percentile) and I think it will fit very nicely this summer.

It fit my 2 year old pretty well. Her head is about average. I don't know what age it tops at but can only assume a 4 year old would be covered. There is an adjustable strap.

My 5 month old is also tall. Over 27 inches and is 14 lbs 6 oz. We also have her wearing some 6 month old clothes. Her baby Merlin sleep suit is the small size and it still fits great! I don't see us needing to transition up to the bigger size for quite a while. I recommend getting the smaller size.

I have a 3 and 1/2 year old who is at least 3 1/2 feet tall and she fits and is comfortable, but her head is at the top. She'll grow out of it soon though!

It would fit fine. My 17th month old loves to wear his helmet and he has been wearing since he was 12 months.
