When we buy children's masks, we will find that there are masks of various ages on the market, from babies of 0 to 3 years old, to children of 4 to 7 years old, to children of 8 to 14 years old. Many parents are afraid that their babies are susceptible to infection, so many babies under one year old wear masks when they go out.

But it should be noted that not all children are suitable for wearing children's masks. Some experts believe that babies under one year old, whose cardia is not closed, are prone to milk spills. Wearing a mask will block your mouth and nose, but adults can’t find out in time, which can cause suffocation. For babies over 1 year old, parents can choose a suitable child mask according to the baby's situation and where to go.

On May 6, 2020, the State Administration of Market Supervision officially released the recommended national standard GB/T38880-2020 "Technical Specifications for Children's Masks", which is applicable to children's masks aged 6-14, and also provides a good choice for us to choose children's masks. in accordance with.

1. Select the level.

Earlier, media reported that two students passed away while wearing N95 masks when the school started. Tang Yongjun, a professor of respiratory medicine at Xiangya Hospital, said that children's cardiopulmonary function is not fully developed, and running with an N95 mask will cause hypoxia. Parents buy children's masks based on the age and place of use of the child, not because the higher the protection level, the better.

2. Choose materials.

Another criterion for choosing children's masks is the comfort of the masks. When we buy or buy child masks, we can touch them. If we can touch them with sharp tips and edges, then the mask is not qualified. According to standard requirements, the inner material of the mask must not be printed or dyed, and the printed pattern on the outer layer of the mask must not fade.

3. Choose the size.

Many parents wear adult masks to their children when they do not buy suitable children's masks. In fact, this is wrong. Never put adult masks on children.

Because the size of children's masks is very important, if the mask is too large and the air tightness is not good, it will not provide protection; if the mask is too small, it will choke your ears and make you uncomfortable.
