How to Remove Kids’ Earrings Safely: Screw Backs, Safety Backs & More

5-6 min read

Putting earrings on a child, and taking them off, can feel intimidating, especially the first few times.

Parents want earrings that are secure, safe, and comfortable, but also easy to manage when it’s time to remove them. 

 

That’s why In Season Jewelry designs children’s earrings with parent-approved backings made specifically for babies, toddlers, and kids.

 

As The Finest Children’s Jewelry in the World, ISJ offers thoughtfully designed earring backs that prioritize safety without sacrificing comfort.

Safety Back Earrings: A Classic Choice for Babies & Kids

Safety back earrings, often called starter earrings, are a popular option for babies and young children.

 

They feature a rounded back with a locking clutch design, helping prevent poking and keeping earrings securely in place,  perfect for everyday wear.

How to Put On Safety Back Earrings

Hold the front of the earring securely.

Push the back toward the post until it clicks and locks into place.

How to Remove Safety Back Earrings

Hold the post gently between your thumb and index finger.

Firmly pull the back straight off using your other hand.

Safety backs are designed to stay put, so a gentle but firm pull is normal.

Screw Back Earrings: Extra Security for Active Kids

Screw back earrings are one of the safest and most secure options for children’s earrings.

 

They feature a threaded post that screws directly into the back, creating a snug fit that stays in place during play, naps, and busy days. This is why screw backs are a favorite among parents shopping at In Season Jewelry®.

How to Put On Screw Back Earrings

Place the earring through the ear.

Screw the back on by rotating it to the right.

Stop once it feels secure - do not over-tighten.

How to remove Screw Back Earrings

Hold the post firmly with your fingers.

Gently rotate the back to the left.

Continue unscrewing until the back slides off.

Screw backs offer peace of mind and are ideal for babies, toddlers, and kids with active lifestyles.

Butterfly Back Earrings: A Traditional Style

Butterfly back earrings, also known as push backs, are a classic earring style commonly worn by teens and adults.

 

They use a simple back that slides onto the post and locks into small grooves. While convenient, they are generally better suited for older children rather than babies.

How to Put On Butterfly Back Earrings

Hold the front of the earring.

Gently push the butterfly back onto the post.

How to remove Butterfly Back Earrings

Hold the post securely.

Pull the butterfly back straight off the post.
