This cute FDA-cleared soft-knit infant beanie from Oyaco is a mind-blowingly simple solution to a problem that affects almost 50% of babies by the age of 2 months: flat head syndrome. Left untreated, flat head syndrome can become permanent and lead to developmental delays. The Tortle works by keeping your baby’s head turned to either side, thanks to a vertical rolled edge on the hat. The hat comes in pink and blue and costs about 20 dollars, making it a heck of a lot cheaper’and cuter’than the alternative solution: a $3,000 corrective helmet. Now that’s innovation we can tip our hats to. ($21.95, available at oyaco.com )
