About the Tortle Beanie
Introducing Tortle, the ultimate solution for preventing Flat Head Syndrome. This simple, safe, and comfortable beanie is designed to provide long-term results when used correctly and early on. Take Tortle with you wherever you go to ensure your baby's head stays in proper shape while laying in a car seat, stroller, bouncer, or crib (under caregiver supervision).
Flat Head Syndrome is largely preventable with proper head positioning; every baby is at risk. Babies’ skulls are soft yet heavy, and necks are weak, so infants are vulnerable to developing these conditions in the first few months of life. This is why proper movement and deliberate repositioning of your infant from birth is one of the keys to healthy development.
With adjustable bands, Tortle grows with your baby, accommodating their changing needs. Its next-generation, single-layer construction offers exceptional breathability and an improved fit. Thanks to adjustable elastic tabs, achieving the perfect fit and minimizing slippage is a breeze.
FDA approved for monitored sleep, think of Tortle as a therapy device that corrects flat heads. By actively deflecting your baby's head to different areas while they rest on a flat surface, The Lucky Elephant gently reshapes their head, effectively preventing and correcting Flat Head Syndrome.
To ensure optimal results and a snug fit, Tortle features silicon dots on the inside surface that prevent slippage. These dots, similar to those found on yoga or athletic gear, may leave temporary marks on your baby's skin, which is completely normal.
Invest in Tortle today and provide your little one with the best possible head shape and utmost comfort throughout their early development.

To properly use the Tortle, you must pull the beanie down as far as possible so the crown of the head is fitted into the top of the beanie and ears are covered. The fit of the hat can be adjusted using the side cinch tabs.
