My baby is almost 6 months and has a larger head. Will this fit her?

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.

hello, it only fits baby up to max 6 months if your baby is average size. so i think its not worth the price.

I bought this helmet for my 3 year old. According to the box, the helmet fits heads 19.5-21 inches. My guess is it's too small for a 6 year old.

Yes they will... They fit my 1 year old perfect unless his head is huuge lol.... You'll be fine.

It fits my 18 month good but at its tightest settings. And shes a small for her age. Hope that helps.

Pretty sure! We just had my son's 6 month appt he is 15 lbs and 26 inches and it fits him still ...

Yes, it fits upto 0-6 months depending on how big is your baby! Congratulations!

yes I believe so, my daughter is 7 though so I'm not sure of head size differences, but they are pretty snug.

It should --- our son is also 10, soon to be 11. He has a bit larger head than most kids, but it fits him fine.

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 baby is long so at 6 most he looks too big for it but he's still using it

Yes. It fits me and I kinda have a bigger head too. Really cute! Surprisingly cute!

Should be fine. The strap is adjustable. I don't have a 6 yr old to try it on, though.

You need to go to Troxel.com to find their sizing guide. If you measure your child's head as they instruct, you will get the right size.

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's plenty big on my 4 year old. Of course it depends on the size of your child, but I'm guessing it will fit her til she's at least 8. She's fairly average height.

We bought this for our daughter for her 4th birthday, and it fit her very well then, and it still fits her well now (she'll be 5 in a couple of months). It is adjustable, and we have had no problems with it; it wasn't like we had to make it as tight as it could go when we first bought it, and we aren't making it super loose now. Her head has always been big (like, in the 90th+ percentile at the doctor's), though, if that makes any difference. I think you'd be okay, unless your daughter's head is on the very small side.
