Enter this ingenious device. I took the advice of another reviewer (great tip!) who wore it as a hat during the kiddo’s bath to help with any uncertainty/fear. It took a few baths, but before long she was using it when we rinsed her head without complaint. No more water pouring down her face... and thus no more tears!
We did cut the strap off it. Not sure if that would be helpful for a bigger kid, but on my now 15-month old, it was just always in the way. We do sort of hold it on her head on the sides to make sure the little rubber trough is making contact all around her forehead when we rinse her hair (and so she can’t just rip it off).
Now my little one reminds us anytime we are bathing her about the “hat”. Sometimes insistently. She especially loves when my husband or I have it on before she gets to “wear” it.
No regrets, would buy 100x over.
You do have to place it an an angle, as they show in the diagram. And you have to make sure it is pressed against the forehead, so there are no gaps. Our child holds it on, rather than having us hold it. Make sure they are not tipping their head too far forward, but it doesn't have to be tilted backward either, just upright is enough. Then we can use either the hand shower spray (carefully aimed), or a cup to pour water over the head. This device drains all the water off behind the ears, which is crucial for our young one, who hates to get any water on the face or in the ears.
The body of the unit is made of semi-flexible plastic, allowing it to be opened to position it on the head. Inside the lip of the unit a V-shaped rubber "gasket" is attached firmly to the unit all around the C-shape, allowing small gaps to be filled to make a seal on the head.
My child's head is 20.5" circumference, and somewhat square-ish. I don't think this unit would be small enough for a baby, but it would probably work for a preschooler. I guess for a toddler it would depend on the size of the head. At the widest part of the unit, the semi-rigid part measures 5 5/8" diameter (14.5 cm). It can open up to maybe 6 3/4" diameter. The rubber "gasket" is is about 1" wide inside of the semi-rigid portion.
I bought this for my 2 and 3 yr olds who hate bath time because they hate getting their hair washed. After having a particularly traumatic couple of baths I found this. It was like the gates of Heaven themselves opened.
After a couple of baths my girls relaxed and bath time, and hair washing, is what bath time should be. Relaxing and fun.
