Pudding hat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pudding hat (also pudding or black pudding) was a protective hat worn by children learning to walk during the early 17th century until the late 18th century. It was the equivalent of a modern-day helmet.
A pudding hat was usually open at the top and featured a sausage-shaped bumper roll that circled the head like a crown. It was fastened with straps under the chin.
