Adaptable2An adjustable strap helps you get a snug fit on your active baby or toddler, while a safety release opens the Softband if it catches on an object. |
Comfortable and soft2The Softband features Baha SoftWear™ pads, designed to reduce pressure on the skin whilst also allowing sound transmission.4 |
