Do you think a 6 year could wear this around their neck? Just curious of others thoughts - Thanks

I think it would be too heavy to put around a little neck. But he/she could carry it for some relief.

I would say no. It would probably be a bit bulky for a small child. It is more suited for an adult in that application. The fan is very portable and light weight though, and can easily be handheld or placed/hooked on a nearby surface.

We bought this for our daughter for her 4th birthday, and it fit her very well then, and it still fits her well now (she'll be 5 in a couple of months). It is adjustable, and we have had no problems with it; it wasn't like we had to make it as tight as it could go when we first bought it, and we aren't making it super loose now. Her head has always been big (like, in the 90th+ percentile at the doctor's), though, if that makes any difference. I think you'd be okay, unless your daughter's head is on the very small side.

Yes. I believe it will fit most 6 month olds. My daughter was almost 8 months when I got her first one. That one broke after a year. The second one she lost when she was two. She's now had her third one for about a year and she's 4.5 years old. She wears it 24-7.

You should be cautious with any kind of jewelry worn on any child under 5. I haven't had any problems yet with my son. He wears his all day long, he's even taken naps with it on. I've heard that you can also wrap these around the ankle for the same effect(and no worrying about suffocation)! I hope this helps!

If you can get them to keep it on, my 12 month old wears it fine. It has an adjustable strap on the back that is easy to use and tightens the straps once the helmet is on. Just tight enough to keep them from pulling it off. Package says 3+ for age but that's not true. I'd say mine will be using hers till she's at least 5.

I would think that it could be made to fit a 6 year old as you can stretch, trim, and glue to fit. I do not believe something as large as horns could be glued to the bald cap. The material is very thin and would probably tear.

Depends on the size of your child. Mine was a chunk at 11 months (but tall!) and this would not have worked - see my review on June 23, 2012. We also wanted a softer material (ended up going with neoprene) for a child that age. Even if my daughter had been slimmer I would want a softer material with a V-neck.

I assume you are asking about stethoscope. My son was 3 when I bought this. He still plays with it after all these months. I don't see a problem with 5 - 6yo wearing this but it was a little too difficult for me to wear. The part of stethoscope that goes into your ears is not very comfortable anyway as it is too thick and made of hard plastic which isnt too smooth either. I believe they did this on purpose so that kids don't accidentally damage their hearing somehow. Hope this helps.

It definitely helped keep me cool. I tied it around my neck for 3 weeks in Vietnam, and it made the crazy heat bearable. I agree with Sandy, it's probably too big for a little kid's neck. Can also be worn as a headband, but someone would have to tie it for her.

I have a 6th month old who fits great. I think it would be too small for that age group.

it would be too small for your daughter. I purchased it from my son at 9 months old and it was too small. He was about 19 pounds then. It's also too big for the wrist. It just sits in his room not being used. I really suggest getting the necklace, he still wear it to this day and never pulls on it.

Dear friend, Thanks for your inquiry. This item we are desinged for children ages 5 to 12, so it is not too large for them to wear. Thank you!

Yes, it can be worn around the neck. That is what my parents do. It seems clunky at first but they got used to it very quickly.

My opinion is the neck strap is too thin to be comfortable, but wouldn't technically *hurt.* A sensitive child might be bothered. Our strap broke within a week of purchase, so I sewed a new one using orange "jumbo rick rack" from my local sewing shop. I used the original strap to create small 1" loops in the holes, and then connected the wider DIY strap to those small loops. My son will wear these around the house for hours on end.

I think it would be pretty iffy. The hat is very stiff, and of course the smaller the head, the less velcro you have available to tie/stick at back; but hey, tack it together with needle & thread. He'll grow into it. I've not seen a youth version.

I haven't done either but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to cut it down to fit a 6 year olds head. Also didn't glue anything to it but as long as the snakes or horns aren't too heavy you should be able to glue them to it. Sorry I am not more help

Very likely will not fit a 6 year old very well. These were given to a 3 yr old, and she wears them very well - a little big, but her 7 yr old sister cannot wear them.
