I’ve been very happy with how well they fit my 5- and 7-year-olds. I got the ones in solid colors and we get complimented on them all the time.

I second this.

Got my order of these today. They are really nice.

Look on ETSY and find local sellers and see if they can work with you. I have (don't want to post mine here). Very few have nose wire or interfacing. I like the nose wire much longer than even most are making and those thicker wires hit at my nose and hurt. You can add nose wire to any of them if you can sew a little.

Crayola ones have all those features

I have tried so many masks for my 7 year old for sensory issues. I thought the center seam and nose wire were necessary to keep them on my kid.

But actually the best commercial masks I've found are these "reusable face bandanas" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088KQ4TY9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Second-best are the VistaPrint masks, which do have a nose wire.

If you really want a center seam and you have a sewing machine, I used this pattern: https://sewmuchmooreshop.com/collections/patterns/products/face-mask-pattern
It's free and the woman does a great YouTube how-to that goes along with it. I purchased adjustable ear loops from Amazon to use instead of elastic. In my case, after some trial and error I extended the "medium" pattern by one inch along the bottom to better fit my kid.

If you don’t want the civic messaging

Have worked for both my 2 and 4 year old much better than other masks I’ve found because of the adjustable rate and center seams. The nose wire isn’t perfect but all things considered it’s the best option I’ve found for them ( and in-stock at a decent price)

That Gap one made me literally LOL. "Be the Future" kind of implies you need a mask to be in the future, and if you don't wear one, you'll die. Seems kinda heavy for a kids' mask.

But not cheap, and backordered for a few weeks.

Many people say vistaprint masks are good, but I have not tried it yet.

And, so far, I have more than 20 cloth masks and a few box of Disposable ones at home for my 4.5 year old. None of them are perfect, it is mostly the fitting & breathable problem. I am looking into masks from other countries, but the shipping cost is not cheap & it takes a long time to ship. They have some nano technology that is paper thin, close to medical grade, breathable, but not cheap. But, I am concerned about fitting, and they are all disposable.

Proper cloth, but they are expensive.

I’m having the hardest time finding a mask for my 4 year old that fits, doesn’t hurt, doesn’t slip down, and doesn’t obstruct her breathing. Based on the handful I’ve already bought that she complains about, I need a kid’s mask with:

-Adjustable early loops (to minimize slippage and avoid the “too tight” complaints)
-A nose wire
-A seam sewn along the nose bridge to minimize the suction along the mouth when she breathes hard (like on the playground)

Has anyone found one with these characteristics that worked for their child? Thanks in advance!
