But schools are not the only place kids should wear masks, according to the CDC, which states unvaccinated people older than 2 years old should wear face masks in indoor public spaces — those under 12 years old cannot get vaccinated yet.

There is no reason for kids to avoid KN95 masks, according to Adam Ratner, MD, chief of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at NYU Langone Health’s Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital.

Experts previously told us that kids cloth masks with two or more layers of fabric are effective, but some parents may still be considering purchasing KN95 masks for their children.

Because of this, it’s hard to guarantee whether or not KN95 masks will fit young kids, even if they’re designed to be smaller than KN95 masks made for adults.

But if kids wear KN95 masks to school, which are disposable, they may go through multiples in one day, Nachman said.

Recommended for those between the ages of 3 and 10, VIDA’s kids KN95 masks offer five layers of protection and feature an adjustable nose bridge.

The masks come with return envelopes to participate in VIDA’s face mask recycling program, too.

WellBefore’s kids KN95 masks come in three sizes, depending on the age of your child: Regular, Small and Extra Small.

WWDOLL’s kids KN95 masks, which come in a pack of 25, feature five layers of protection and are built with adjustable ear loops.

The masks feature a flexible metal nose clip designed with extra sponge padding, which WWDOLL said prevents a gap from forming between the mask and skin and prevents glasses from fogging up.

Available in packs of 10, these kids KN95 masks are designed to fit smaller faces, specifically ages 3 and up.

Masks feature five layers of protection and an adjustable nose bridge, and they come individually wrapped.

These KN95 masks are not specifically designed to fit young kids, but they will fit older children, like middle and high schoolers.
