The best fly nets for kids: safe, soft, and fun

Flies love kids. Maybe it’s the snack-sticky fingers. Maybe it’s the tendency to leave half a Vegemite sandwich on their face. Either way, Aussie summers can turn into swat-fests faster than you can say, “Put your hat back on!”
Enter the humble fly net - the hero your parenting toolkit didn’t know it needed. But not all fly nets out there are made for little noggins. Here’s how to choose the best fly net for kids that’s safe, soft, and maybe even fun (no promises).
Meet our Kids’ Fly Net - child-friendly from the crown down
Our Kids’ Fly Net is made just for ages 4 to 12.
Here’s what makes it a hit:
-
Soft mesh that won’t cling or itch
-
Generous cut for ponytails, plaits or caps underneath
-
They can wear it with their favourite hat, or no hat at all.
-
Easy to roll up and shove in a beach bag or picnic basket
Plus, it comes in cheerful colours that say “I’m ready for adventure” — not “Mum made me wear this.”
It’s especially handy if your little one hates insect repellent. One pull of the net and they’re good to go - no sticky sprays or stingy creams needed.
