The old navy ones work? It’s unclear from what you wrote. They work fine for my 4 year old.

LOL, please don't buy your child an alligator.

Gaiters, on the other hand, don't work for my 4 year old, it slips right off. She likes the masks from Primary.com and Carters. They're small and fit well.

Joah love. The kids size fits my 2 and 8 year old bc the ears are adjustable (and soft!)

Op here. I was looking partly for warmth as the weather gets cooler. My child’s preschool spends the majority of their time outdoors and will continue to spend as much time outside as possible even when weather gets colder.

Yeah, gaiters are better than nothing but worse than double layer masks: https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2020/08/neck-gaiters

For my 3 year old adjustable masks work better than gaiters anyway because they stay up. We found some at the check out line in the grocery store that work really well so I bought a ton of them. I don’t have a link but the key is the little rubber adjusting piece on the ear straps. We also use a connector to hold it make it a loop so that when he pulls it down to get water or a snack it doesn’t fall to the ground and get dirty or lost.

“Gaiters.” If you’re wearing a “gator” on your face, you probably have problems more immediate than covid.

I found that Vistaprint masks are a good fit for little faces. DD will wear that one without complaint. The Target ones fall down for her.

Have you not seen the articles and studies that show gators are WORSE than no face covering at all?

I’m looking for a face covering for my 3yo. She is a normal sized 3yo. A lot of the gators I see seem to be for older kids like in elementary.

Can you recommend gators or masks that fit your 3yo well?

We currently have the old navy kid masks and they fit her after shrinking in the wash.
