Getting a baby helmet for craniosynostosis or plagiocephaly treatment can be exhausting—and expensive! The good news is, however, that decorating your baby’s helmet doesn’t have to be that way. Babbleworthy custom cranial bands and baby helmet paint kits offer several advantages compared to fully hand painted designs or helmet wraps:
1. LESS EXPENSIVE THAN FULLY HAND PAINTED CRANIAL BANDSFully painted baby helmets are beautiful, but most cost between $100-$200, or even more depending on the level of customization. For a mere fraction of the cost, Babbleworthy decals and paint kits can bring your ideas to life. From princess cranial band designs, to sports themed helmets, or even a simple monogram or name, we work closely with our customers to create the perfect baby helmet design for their child. This is the perfect, practical solution for parents of multiples, or parents who have a baby that only needs to undergo treatment for a few weeks. This also makes it affordable for parents on the other end of the spectrum, who have to deal with extremely long treatments that often require a second baby helmet.
2. CONVENIENCE—DECORATE AROUND YOUR BABY’S SCHEDULEAs a former helmet mom, I know the eagerness and anxiety that comes with getting your baby’s helmet. After the scans and fittings, you want your baby’s head to get the help it needs immediately! Babbleworthy’s decals and DIY painting kits give you everything you need to decorate your child’s band when it’s easiest for you and your baby. Whether you choose to decorate it all at once, or paint and seal first, wait a day or two and then apply decals, or simply forego paint altogether and just decorate with the decals, you can decorate when it works for you.
3. NON-TOXIC-- WE COMPLY WITH THE DOC BAND DECORATING GUIDELINES
While there are many paint and sealant products out there, Babbleworthy paint kits only include non-toxic acrylic paint and a water-based, non-toxic sealer, as recommended by Cranial Technologies on their doc band decorating guide. You don’t have to worry about fumes or chemicals. Our decorating process also avoids the use of heat (which helmet wrapping requires), as that can compromise the helmet, which is an expensive medical device.
4. CHANGING BABY HELMET DESIGNS IS EASY!
Expensive baby helmet paint or wrap jobs make it hard to justify switching out designs. The low cost of our decals compared to painting or wraps make it more affordable to update the look when you please—whether you wish to get a new look for the season, a special occasion, or simply for something new! And, unlike store-bought stickers, which can leave a yucky residue on the helmet, vinyl decals come off completely and easily simply by working a nail under the edges.
