Title: Earmuffs ?
Post by: Madman_Mark on April 15, 2004, 08:23:30 PM
I'm looking for earmuffs (hearing protection) that will fit a child.
Somebody must make them somewhere.
I'm a part-time firewood dealer and I often have my 2 year old out in the yard with me when cutting (which he loves watching and uses his toy saw).
He stays a safe distance away but it can't be good for his sensitive ears.
Plugs would never stay in for long.
Any ideas.

  I bought a set of Peltor childrens sized earmuffs at the local gun shop  for my boy when he was 3 .  Now he wears a bigger set and my 4 yr. old daughter wears them .

Madman Mark,

Good job thinking of the boys hearing ;)

We have been using "Thunder 29" ear muffs for years.

The youngest started hanging around the sawmill at 9 months. He would sit in his car seat with his ear phones and watch the action ;D

The price can vary from $15 to $30 depends on the dealer.
