The Perfect Noggin: Product Overview
The Perfect Noggin is the world’s only adjustable, anatomically-correct, contoured head-shaping surface designed specifically for infants during their critical early months.
Developed by Harvard-trained craniofacial surgeon Dr. Gary F. Rogers, it has been both clinically tested and ergonomically engineered to help maintain a round, symmetrical head shape in babies who sleep on their backs.
Design & Scientific Background
The Perfect Noggin evolved from an earlier product called the PlagioCradle, which required professional molding each week. The Perfect Noggin streamlined that approach with a user-friendly, modular design.
The current product design features removable layered inserts, enabling parents to customize the fit as their baby grows— guided by supplied tape measures for precision.
Numerous peer-reviewed studies support its effectiveness, establishing The Perfect Noggin as one of the most extensively studied infant head-shaping devices.
