Soft kids' toothbrush that ended a 7-year-old's brushing tears: Radius

Radius is a US kids' toothbrush brand with 4 stages covering ages 6 months to 6 years and up. Tested on a 7-year-old and a 10-year-old, the Radius toothbrush's rounded bristle tips meant the 7-year-old daughter, who used to cry that brushing hurt, happily brushed on her own for 3 minutes. The large Radius head seemed worrying at first, but it cleans more in one pass and even massages the gums, which made it a satisfying pick.
