Best Kids Masks for Covid Variants, School, and Travel

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MASK FOR YOUR CHILD 

Let’s face it―we have all seen dozens of masks on the market. The more masks we see, the more we realize that not all masks are created equal. This is especially true when it comes to the best masks for kids. When you choose a disposable mask for your child, it is important to know how that mask is made and how effective it is in protecting your child from COVID and other potential airborne illnesses. 

Practically speaking, an indicator of whether a mask is effective is if it has certified test results. Wait, the last mask you bought did not display its independent test results? That may mean it wasn’t tested to the standards you want it to meet to be safe. Healthcare providers rely on certified testing to know if a mask is safe. Why should we want anything less for ourselves and our kids? Just like with detecting the virus that causes COVID, good testing allows you to trust your mask and the protection it can provide. Successful test results are a big part of why we are completely in love with Little Lives PPE’s LL95 disposable kids’ masks. A less tested mask is a less trusted mask.  

MADE BY DOCTORS AND MOMS FOR ALL 

When people tried Little Lives PPE masks for themselves and their children, they said it was such good quality that it seemed like someone from Harvard had invented it. For Little Lives KN95-equivalent masks, that is only partially true. The masks were developed by not one but two Harvard graduates, who also happen to be doctors and moms. 

With a mission to protect people to the best of their ability, both as doctors and as mothers, and to ensure that all people have adequate protection from COVID, Little Lives PPE is also proud to be completely woman- and minority-owned. 

Serving under-vaccinated communities and communities with inadequate access to health care is at the heart of the Little Lives PPE mission. Since the founding of the company, the doctors and workers involved have made it a priority to give back. Early on, Little Lives PPE launched an initiative to donate masks and funds to nonprofit organizations that support women, families and the fight against homelessness in major U.S. cities.  

 

 

DISPOSABLE MASKS WITH OVER 99% FILTRATION 

When shopping for disposable kids’ masks for travel, camp, or school, it is important to remember that there are no FDA-approved N95 masks for kids. That being said, Little Lives PPE has perfected a manufacturing process that produces a 100 percent American-made KN95 equivalent mask. On top of the mask material and construction specifications, all Little Lives masks are manufactured and assembled in an FDA-registered facility.  

Part of the effectiveness of a Little Lives mask is that it has an electrostatic charge that blocks particles from coming through and, unlike most masks out there, the LL95 (for ages 2 to 12) comes in over a dozen colors, which will satisfy even the pickiest children! 

The LL95 is 100 percent made in the USA in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility for maximum quality control. The PPE products are FDA listed under product code QKR, so you can trust that each face mask is made to the highest standard. 

The founders of Little Lives PPE did not stop at meeting guidelines; instead, they set out to demonstrate that their high standards had been proven effective. Enlisting the help of well-known medical testing facilities like Eurofins and Nelson Labs, the company had all its products rigorously tested to meet the best safety measures. The results were the same across the board: a breathable, safer, and comfortable mask that has passed tests that prove it keeps out more than 99 percent of small viral particles, passing both the sodium chloride aerosol test and the particulate filtration efficiency (PFE) test. In addition, the LL95 passed the NIOSH’s inhalation/exhalation test with flying colors. This test ensures that kids can breathe in and out with ease while wearing the LL95, which means that keeping the mask on for an entire flight or school day is no longer a challenge.

BEST KIDS’ MASKS FOR TRAVEL AND SCHOOL  

Of course, the most important aspect of any PPE item is the level of protection it provides, but from a child’s perspective, color and fit still rate high. Perhaps the best part of the Little Lives LL95 mask is that it’s so comfortable and easy to breathe in that kids almost seem to forget they have it on. It happens to be cute too, and with over a dozen colors to choose from, there is an LL95 face mask that every kid will love. 

The LL95 offers 5 layers of protection, and Little Lives PPE also makes an effective lightweight 3-ply ASTM Level 3 mask for kids. Little Lives 3-Ply Masks are also tested and proven effective and come in several fun patterns and colors. The package of 50 allows families to be prepared for on-the-go use, travel to new areas, and returning to school or for errands to stores. 

Tiny COVID particles can remain suspended in the air from minutes to hours. So, when kids are back in the classroom or traveling on planes, trains, and buses—a mask's ability to filter particles and fit snugly makes all the difference to their safety. The LL95 has a nose bridge wire wrapped in protective polypropylene to adjust the mask’s fit to a child’s nose to create a good seal.

You may not know that millions of KN95 masks imported during the pandemic didn’t pass the filtration tests, with some masks filtering only 1 percent of particles while claiming to filter more than 95 percent, not to mention that there were risks to breathing through a foreign mask containing fiberglass. Little Lives PPE takes the guesswork out of determining whether a mask is safe or making fraudulent claims. 

COMFORTABLE, RECYCLABLE, BPA-FREE FACE SHIELDS FOR KIDS

With more COVID variants than ever before, face shields offer an additional level of protection for the entire face when kids are indoors or in a higher-risk environment. Professionals who have close face-to-face communication with people, and who want to be considerate and safe, have chosen to pair the Little Lives PPE Face Shield with the LL95 or the Little Lives PPE ASTM level 3 mask.

Little Lives PPE makes the best face shields for kids. Its face shield was designed with the same consideration and care as the KN95 equivalent children’s and adult face masks. The founders sought to create a face shield that was not only medical-grade but sustainable and comfortable. In the process of creating a responsible and safe face shield for kids, the doctors behind the LL95 Face Masks manufactured a completely non-toxic, BPA- and phthalate-free, recyclable PETG plastic shield that is not only crystal clear but also incorporates a hypoallergenic FDA-certified non-toxic foam cushion for maximal comfort. The face shield has a full, wraparound design for medical-grade protection. The adjustable band on both the kids’ and adults’ face shields is soft, flexible, comfortable, and machine-washable. 

THE BEST MASK CHOICE FOR CHILDREN 

Whether children are venturing out to a new camp, looking forward to flying to a new vacation destination or just traveling the halls of their school, it is important to keep them safe until the pandemic is truly over. The Little Lives PPE masks for adults and children are tested and proven, and parents, teachers, and professionals can feel secure knowing that the minds behind these masks are thinking about children, not only as doctors but as parents too.
