Collection: CBRN Protection for Newborns, infants, Toddlers and Children

Choose CBRN protection by the child’s age

Children should not be placed in an adult mask that cannot fit and seal correctly. Choose equipment designed for the child’s age and size: a baby PAPR hood for newborns and toddlers ages 0–2, a child PAPR hood for ages 2–8, or a youth-sized full-face mask or powered kit for children ages 8–14.

Baby and child hood systems use powered airflow and do not depend on the same tight facial seal required by a conventional full-face mask. Older children may be able to use a youth-sized mask, but the fit must still be checked on the individual wearer.

Read our child gas mask and PAPR guide before choosing, and confirm exactly what is included on the product page.
