Our youngest has been using a pair of Salice goggles which fit with his (B-square) helmet.
It can be hard to get him to take them off sometimes...

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

bagginsmum, it's not that easy to find ones that will fit a small face well, even the supposed kids ones. Main thing to look very carefully at in my experience is the distance from the top centre of the frame to the nose arch, this needs to be short. The main problem with many goggles I tried for my son, also 4, was that this distance was too long and so the goggle frame ended up very close to the tip of his nose rather than the bridge. I ended up with kids Smith Sundance goggles which did fit well. I also picked up a pair of Spy Mini Targas which are superb in the sale at TKMaxx for £4 last season. I agree with MazDave, that the Salice ones look good, you can see on his picture that the area over the nose is really cut away for a small face. http://www.littletrekkers.co.uk/ has a good choice of Salice.

Get good ones that fit him well, and make sure he has them! In one of my lessons last year I had a group of kids in a Blizzard, one of them 'lost'* his googles. What with the tears freezing on his face I had to give him mine, leading a bunch of kids without losing one down a mountian whilst near-blinded ain't fun...
*'Cos his parents had given him crap ones that he didn't like, didn't fit, steamed up, etc...

Thanks all, think we may try the salice ones for starters and make him try them out on his lessons at castleford first
