Overview
Great for childcare and parenting preparation classes, this demonstration model raises awareness of SBS (shaken baby syndrome). When the model is shaken, the brain slams violently inside the skull, just as a real babys brain would. Shaking a baby can cause permanent brain damage, blindness, and death. A powerful way to reinforce the message that you should absolutely never, ever shake a baby.

Just once is all it takes. Just one episode of shaking or inappropriately handling a baby can cause permanent brain damage, blindness, or even death—and it can happen in mere seconds. Use this one-of-a-kind model to perform a sobering demonstration: As the model is shaken, the brain slams violently against the inside of the skull just as a real baby’s brain would.
