Hi all,
Just looking for some help. We are off in two weeks and have been trying to find some OTG goggles for our 3 year old. I thought her brother's would work but they are too big so need toddler size goggles. If anyone has a recommendation that would be great.
Thanks
DF

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I wonder if those would go over glasses? Does your daughter have sunglasses, @Dublinfella? That might be easier. A 3 year old won't have to be out in driving wind or snow, presumably?

She doesn't have prescription shades, hence the giggles option. Her brother went with shades at her age but we didn't realise he was half blind until after the first trip!

@Old Fartbag, I don't believe they are OTG- I tried a couple of the pairs from your great haul but none worked either. The brother is delighted with his Oakleys! Thanks again

@Dublinfella, I have never seen OTG Goggles for a 3 year old....but they probably exist somewhere

Hmm. Difficult. Perhaps shades would be a good idea, in the hope that we have a nice sunny summer? Another possibility might be a helmet with a visor, if they make those for kids. Perhaps less likely to make the glasses steam up,too - that's always a problem.

My son has worn glasses from a very young age, and much prefers a helmet with visor. He started out with the Cebe Fireball Junior, which he liked enough that when he grew out of it he got the adult version.

As a specs wearer, I'd defo be looking at a kids visor helmet. I'm not a sure a 3yr old will cope with the steaming up issue of goggles over specs and be "on it" enough to clear steam even if you find some that fit. Visors are a much better solution.

Agree - for fogging, and a 3yo's ability to constantly fiddle with anything that touches their face, I think you're going to be looking at a visor for Jnr if she is going to wear her glasses.
But that assumes you can find a visor helmet fits her - they tend to be towards older kids than 3.
Maybe some prescription sunglasses and a wrap around headband to keep them in place and a normal kids helmet - Assuming you're going Easter-time when weather is most likely going to be warm and sunny.

I see it’s possible to buy add-on visors for ski helmets. Not sure if the fit is good for different helmets; not sure if a 3 year old can tell the difference?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@pandora, Hmm that is a good thought. I will try to get a decathalon visit tomorrow and see if their visor helmets will fit her.
@Orange200, I will look at them. I havent seen them before.

Are you sure?
doesn't the helmet have to be designed for a visor - all of the ones I've seen have a screw in fitting at the "hinge" which are slightly different between brands.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Sorry it was a very quick google on phone. But can’t be beyond the wit of man to invent a visor with a goggle-like elastic strap?

I’m mean my 4 year old still skis looking at the sky whilst near an edge so you may well be overthinking the glasses issue ! I try and avoid anywhere with edges now. Good luck
