It doesn’t actually have the ear flaps to keep you children’s ears warm. I have the adult version and assumed it would be just the same but it is not. Just an expensive waste of money that won’t do anything to keep you kids ears warm. ~~Sorry to hear the cap wasn't what you expected. All of the Lil' caps do have workable ear flaps. You can always return the cap for a refund - give our customer service team a call for assistance in the return. Call them at 888-455-2253. SK~~
