Ems for Kids – Kids Earmuffs

Consequently, over the next 12 months, Dan patented the first folding, kids earmuff design and launched it to the market with the ‘Ems for Kids’ name, in honour of his first daughter ‘Emily’ or ‘Em’. Two years later in 2009, Daniel designed and patented the original baby earmuff with a unique pressure-reducing headband design safe for newborns. In 2017, the Ems for Kids range expanded to include audio headphones.
