I dont think they get a knee cap until the age of 2 or 3. But it would be best to ask your childs doctor instead on asking a question like that on here. That away you will get a professionals answer. And the answer will be correct. But I have also heard the same as well. Hope that this helps.

They have knee caps- they just don't ossify until later. They are fairly soft. 1 year olds walking without knee caps would be a trick.
It's like the skull, the skull is there, but parts are completely soft until later months when the gaps close and then harden.

Wow, really?! I have a 10 month old daughter and I have never even thought about that! You'd think doctors would mention that or I would have read it somewhere at some point while I was pregnant or in the past 10 months lol. That is crazy!

They have kneecaps! They are soft until they are about 2 though.
