QINGSONG Snorkel Mask for Kids

This is a great mask for kiddos who struggle with plugging their nose. We got it for my son for his birthday and he loves it! Easy to put on. Fits his average size head (5 years old). Works well

This item got my 6 year old swimming. She was scared of putting her mouth and nose in the water (we were stuck on the “blow bubbles” part of swim lessons), and once this was on her, she took off swimming unaided except for this mask. The air in the mask does provide a little buoyancy. Because of those things, it was EXACTLY the tool she needed to get her swimming this summer; mere weeks later, she was submersing her head without the mask and overcoming that earlier fear. In fair warning, some kids do not like it and feel they can’t breathe with it on. My kid also pulls it off when she feels short of breath. We only use it in the pool and under supervision. However, she’s let some friends (age 5-6) borrow it at the pool and they, too, were able to overcome fears and start swimming around with it. Whole family was shocked at the sudden turn-around in swim fears. This can be a great tool if you’ve got a kid afraid of putting their nose in the water!

Seals well on small faces, a wonderful addition to our swimming pack!

Too small for 6 year old. Better fitting for 3 year old. The concept of this style mask is uncomfortable but the kids love it. I should have ordered a bigger size if available.

Bought these for a trip to the outer banks where we used a charter (Family Water Adventures and Capt. Tami were amazing if you’re ever there) to go snorkeling and shell finding. My 9 year old used it and it worked exactly as described. It didn’t leak and stayed secure. He found so many shells. Would definitely recommend for kids for any water adventure.

Kid loves it, easy to use, doesn’t get foggy.

I bought 2 XS (pink and blue) for my 4 and 5 year olds to teach them to swim without floaties on. They certainly did what I was looking for. After about a day they were comfortable swimming and really working on swimming without the masks on too. Stay very close to your kid on the first day. My son, for whatever reason, decided to adjust his mask while under water. His mask filled up with water and I thought he was splashing me, but he was struggling to breathe. Close call, but teach the kids to not let water in. I also bought a similar mask, orange (same brand), that turned out to be the newer model... for myself. From what I can tell, the newer model appears to allow more air in at once. Look at the picture and compare the center channel, the air intake. When you exhale it goes up the outer channels or when fully under water it also goes out the chin valve. My daughter seems to be out of breath after swimming across the pool and lifts her mask gasping for air. I’m sure she’ll get better at her breath control overtime because my son doesn’t do this. The other 2 benefits of the newer model are the snorkel tube is easier to take off (twist off as opposed to nearly breaking my thumb nail to lift the clip and pull off on the kids masks) and there is a push clip release for the headband on my mask that the kids do not have. Each mask comes with its own carrying bag and replacement gaskets and valves which I’ve already used one for my son’s mask. Go to the QingSong store on here and find the kids updated version. If these break, I’ll be getting them the same updated version as mine. Hopefully, this review helps someone.

When I say my nephew LOVES this mask im not exaggerating, i believe his words were "now I can be a fish all day in the pool". Really it's a great gift and it keeps him entertained good!
