How do I make sure the earmuffs for my child fit properly?

The child's ears should be completely enclosed in the ear cups. The ear padding should form an effective seal against the kid's head, and there should be absolutely no gaps. The clamping force should be enough to seal the cups against the kid's head, but not too much or it will be painful. The headband should be adjustable, and padding helps with comfort. It shouldn't move, but sit lightly over the top of the head. A headband shouldn't press down on the kid's skull. Check for any pressure points or hard edges and corners. Pay special attention to the fit around glasses or thick hair
