I was wondering what you guys use with your kids in terms of eye and ear protection.
I know almost all of my stuff is too large for my 3 year old boy and at least slightly too large for my 8 year old girl. If you folks have any suggestions for brands or models of gear, I would appreciate a review or comment.

The only one sized fits all that really works is those foam in-ear things. But I wasn't sure if it would be better to double up with muffs, to protect their ears at development age (and no, they don't stuff ipod buds in their ears yet, those things are dangerous :lol:

)
They also have kid sized sunglasses, but no safety glasses yet.

Will probably take them out for their first shoot this spring or summer.

Thanks!

My 3 1/2 year old and 5 year old use the shooting ear muffs and sunglasses for now. Wish I could afford something a little more custom fit but these have actually work well for them.

+1 if it's just plainly recreational shooting then you can just use their reugalr sunglasses and ear muffs. NoW, if youo get them joining competition shooting then that's where you invest in the most comfortable fit for them. 8-)
