Default Supplemental O2 and children

You can have them use O2 when above 15,000 feet, they'll be
quieter without it.

Any mask must fit, children's faces are smaller, you may
need special masks. Cannulas are not as effective,
particularly if they are mouth breathers, but they are not
as claustrophobic as masks.
