Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Hi, I'm sure someone has already gotten back to you on this but just in case here it is. The difference between passive and active is a passive helmet sits on the baby's head and relies on growth. Eventually the head will grow into the shape of the helmet, round. An active band it just that, active. It applies gentle pressure (not felt by the baby)to the head and redirects the growth of the head. > > > > I have a son that is 4 months old.
