Baby bumper headguard cap
Until the end of the 18th century many children who were learning to walk wore protective hats known as pudding hats, puddings or black puddings. These protective hats were the equivalent of a crash helmet.
The hat was usually open on the top and featured a sausage-shaped roll that circles the head. The hat was fastened with straps under the chin.
