I was a Paramedic for 14 years and found that the only things 2 year olds
like in their noses are fingers, french fries, penny's just about anything
other than a cannula. Your best bet is a mask that a) you convince him/her
that it neat to talk into or b) pin it to a seat close to their head where
the O2 blows over their face (It has to be close).

Like the other guy said get a pulse ox and use the big toe it's more
accurate in kids. You can also get tape on disposable kid size pickups.
Normal reading for a 2 year old is 97-99%. Real nice and high with those
brand new lungs.

We've capitulated and have decided to add O2 to our Collection Of Stuff
(it's tough to file IFR over Northeastern California and the Great Basin
without it) and are trying to figure out what to do when it comes to our
two year old. He's nuts about flying and generally accepting of wearing
his headset, but we're skeptical that he'd wear a mask for any length of
time.

Does anyone know of a vendor of child-sized cannula or mask? Do any of
you folks have any experience flying on O2 with kids in this age range?
