I think it just depends on your kids face. We’ve found that for him to wear a mask for hours, the nose wire doesn’t matter but it has to fit perfectly over his ears, and the ON masks have easily adjustable ear straps. You might have to try several styles before finding the right ones fir you.

+1. I find the pleated ones seem to be a better at "one size fits all/most" vs the non-pleated ones with the nose wire are pretty hit or miss if they fit my kids.

Sorry I forgot - I have a petite almost 4 year old and the Carter's ones are my favorite for fit.

They also sell an extension that wraps around the head I think. We also have Vogmasks but they are thicker and the straps are a bit too thick for small ears.

We used the Vistaprint masks for kids who have been in full-time school and I'm moving away from them. I find the quality inconsistent--for example, in a batch of masks I bought last month, some had a super-short nose wire that was pretty useless, and in other masks with the same print the wire was much longer. They changed the quality of their filters several months ago to make them much flimsier, but then just switched back to better ones. The masks frequently have loose threads. The material used has gone downhill. The masks are expensive, ship directly from China, and take weeks to arrive (which wouldn't bother me so much if I could count on the quality!).

My older child has switched to Beau Ties masks, which are great but too big for little kids. We're about to try some Old Navy masks for my younger child. I wish they had a filter pocket but am comfortable with three layers.

These are a great fit for my small 6 year old. Favorite masks that I have tried, and I’ve tried a ton.
