My 7year old plays with this almost daily pretending to be a soldier. The strap is way too long, so we cut it. Just make sure to melt the ends or glue them otherwise the strap will unravel and will no longer be usable like ours. He still enjoys it though and luckily for us it doesn't slide off this head too much without the strap.
