Please read before first use, and keep for future reference.
TumbleGuard is a soft, wearable comfort layer made to cushion bub's everyday backward tumbles. It is not a helmet, a medical device, or a guarantee against injury — and it always works alongside your supervision, never instead of it.
What it does and what it doesn't
- It softens everyday backward tumbles onto the back of the head and upper back.
- It does not cushion the sides or front of the head, and it does not protect against falls from height, down stairs, off furniture, or any serious or high-impact fall.
- It is not a medical device and makes no claim to prevent injury, concussion, or any medical condition.
Always supervise
- Keep baby-proofing your home as normal, gate the stairs, pad sharp corners, and move hazards out of reach.
- Falls are a normal part of learning to crawl and walk. TumbleGuard can soften an everyday backward bump; it cannot prevent every fall.
Age, size and fit
- Suitable for approximately 6–36 months — for babies who can support their own head and are crawling, pulling up, cruising or walking.
- Adjust the shoulder and chest straps so it sits snugly and comfortably over the back of the head and upper back without slipping.
- Check the fit each time before use, and loosen the straps as bub grows.
Never use during sleep
- TumbleGuard is not a pillow and must never be worn while bub is sleeping, lying down, or napping — in a cot, bassinet, pram, or anywhere else.
- Follow safe-sleep advice: baby on their back, in a clear cot with nothing soft or loose around them (see Red Nose, rednose.org.au).
When to take it off
Remove TumbleGuard for:
- Sleeping or lying down
- Car seats and prams — it can stop the harness fitting correctly and safely
- High chairs and any other harnessed seat
- Bath time and water — it is not a flotation device and gives no protection in water
A note on the straps
- loose or harnessed straps can be a strangulation hazard if misused.
- Don't attach TumbleGuard to cots, prams, or any other product, and don't modify the straps or padding.
Care and upkeep
- Wash according to the care label, and let it dry fully before the next use.
- Check it regularly for wear, loose stitching, or damage, stop using it if it's damaged.
- Keep it away from open flame and direct heat.
If you're ever worried
Most bumps end in a quick cry and a cuddle. But if bub has a heavy fall, or seems unwell, drowsy, or not themselves afterwards, trust your instincts and speak to your GP or child health nurse, or call 000 in an emergency.
Size & fit
Size & fit
TumbleGuard measures about 33 cm tall × 20 cm wide — roughly the size of a sheet of A4 paper. It sits low and snug across the back of the head and upper back, so it covers what matters without weighing bub down or getting in the way of crawling, cruising and those first wobbly steps. The adjustable shoulder and chest straps grow with your little one, comfortably fitting most babies from around 6 to 36 months.

Testimonials
A MOMENT EVERY NEW PARENT KNOWS
When Bub Topples Backward, Your Heart Drops
Every parent of a little one learning to move knows this moment. Bub pulls themselves up on the lounge, wobbles, and before you can move, they go straight back. On carpet it's a soft landing. On your kitchen tiles or floorboards, it's a thud that drops your stomach through the floor.
You're right there. You're watching. And you still couldn't get to them in time. So you start hovering, hunched over, hands behind their head, never quite able to put your cuppa down.
Over the weeks that flinch every few minutes feeling turns into quiet dread, because what you really want is to let bub explore and find their feet without bracing for the next bonk. Once you've heard that sound on a hard floor, it's hard to unhear.
WHY MOST FIXES FALL SHORT
It's Not That You're Not Watching. It's the One Fall You Can't Catch.
Most parents think watching closely is enough. But even when you hover, use a play mat, or place a pillow behind your little one, backward bonks still happen.
When babies lose balance, they can catch themselves forward or sideways, but not backwards. That’s why the back of the head lands first, often before you can react.
Play mats only cover one spot. Pillows only help when they sit still. Hovering all day is exhausting.
That’s why the cushioning needs to move with them, over the back of the head and upper back, wherever they roam.
THE SOFT LAYER THAT GOES WHERE THEY GO
TumbleGuard Cushions the One Fall You Can't Catch
Once the soft layer is on bub instead of on the floor, everything gets easier. TumbleGuard is a soft, cuddly animal backpack that cushions the back of the head and upper back — travelling with your little one from kitchen tiles to hallway boards to Grandma's place.
Because the padding sits low on the back and shoulders, not on the head, it won't throw a top-heavy little one off balance — and at around 200g, it's often lighter than the toy in their other hand. There's no chin strap and nothing that feels like being held down, just a breathable, squishy turtle they're happy to wear. So when the backward topple comes, the hard "crack" becomes a soft "thump" — and bub shrugs it off and toddles straight back off again.
It works alongside your supervision, never instead of it — just a little more peace of mind while they find their feet.
The backward wobble, minus the hard landing
Three little ones, three hard floors, three soft landings. The tumble still happens. It just ends in a blink instead of a bonk. A soft turtle that rides along wherever bub does.

How TumbleGuard Compares
Most parents reach for a play mat, prop up a pillow, or just try to hover. The trouble is, none of them follow your bub around the house. Here's how TumbleGuard's soft, wearable cushioning compares to the everyday fixes.
| TumbleGuard | The usual fixes | |
|---|---|---|
| Cushioning wherever bub roams, not just in one spot. | ||
| Covers the back of the head and upper back | ||
| Works while standing and cruising, not just sitting | ||
| Featherlight and low on the back so bub stays balanced. |
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it exactly and how does it work?
What is it exactly and how does it work?
It's a soft, cushioned little backpack your baby wears while sitting, pulling up, crawling and taking those first wobbly steps. The padded part sits right over the lower back and the back of the head, so it softens the landing when your little one topples backward, the fall most parents dread. It's lightweight and cute, so your baby barely notices it's on.
What age can my baby start wearing it?
What age can my baby start wearing it?
Most parents start as soon as their little one begins sitting unassisted and pulling up to stand, often around 6 to 8 months. That stage, pulling up and cruising along the furniture, is actually when the most tumbles happen, well before proper walking begins. You can keep using it for as long as your baby is still unsteady on their feet, usually up to around age 2.
Will it throw off my baby's balance or make them fall more?
Will it throw off my baby's balance or make them fall more?
No, and this is an important difference. Our backpack sits on the back, not on the head like a helmet. A helmet adds weight on top of a little head that already carries most of its weight up high, and that can unbalance a baby. A cushion worn on the back doesn't. The centre of gravity stays low, so your little one keeps moving freely.
Will my baby actually keep it on, or pull it straight off?
Will my baby actually keep it on, or pull it straight off?
Most little ones quickly forget they're wearing it, simply because it's so light and doesn't pinch anywhere. The cute animal designs help too. Plenty of babies love their "turtle" or "tiger," and the adjustable straps keep it snug without digging in. (The odd baby needs a day or two to get used to it, which usually settles after a few wears.)
Does it only protect against backward falls?
Does it only protect against backward falls?
It's designed specifically for the backward fall onto the back of the head, which for many parents is the scariest one, because babies don't put their hands out to catch themselves when they go over backward. It isn't made for forward or sideways falls. Those are how your little one learns to use their hands. We'd rather be honest about what it does than overpromise.
Will it fit my baby?
Will it fit my baby?
The straps are fully adjustable, so it stays secure and grows with your little one as they get bigger.
