OK, we got it yesterday. I put it on and took it off fine when we practiced. How am I supposed to put it on an hour and off an hour home by myself???

Also, I think it goes too close to his eyes but was told to wait until next week to see how it fits then. :(

Wish me luck!

I remember thinking how hard/scary it was putting the helmet on at first. Now I could do it one handed with my eyes closed. You and little henry will get used to it in no time. best of luck

yep! it's tough! i sit crossed legged with Jack kinda wedged in there since he can't sit on his own... he wobbles all around and then I make him mad because i have to readjust it each time. we get a little better each day.

he took his first nap in his yesterday. it lasted all of about 10 min! jack's is close to his eyes too. it sits right on his brow line, but she said that was where it was supposed to be. i just posted some pics!

it's hard... but it's getting a little easier each day and he really doesn't seem to mind it too much... just a little cranky every once in a while with it, but not near as bad as i expected!

Don't worry it will get easier. Their going to want the helmet to cover as much as that little sagittal forhead as it can to hold it in place.

The only way I am able to get Abby to sit up and still for me to put her helmet on and off without help is using a Bumbo seat. It's been a life saver!
