Re: Band or helmet??? We are so confused as to which to do!

[Guest guest]

I will tell you my son is in a differnt helmet, but it is a passive

and we are very very happy with the results. He was moderate to

severe and we started at 5 1/2 months and have about 1 week - 1 month

left ( we will know next week. ) I was going to go the distance and

go to cranial tech without trying this helmet and we are so gald we

didin't. The helmet we got is also coded different and our insurance

would pay for the helmet but not for a band ) Obviously it's a

differnt helmet, but I will say Passive one's do work too!!
