Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Since babies have thinner skin that is more vulnerable to sunburn than adult skin, special care must be taken to ensure that it's well protected from the sun. Babies also have sensitive eyes that should be protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pluses and Minuses Versus Julbo Looping 2 Sunglasses, June 5, 2009

This review is from: iPlay Fun Flexi Specs Sunglasses (Apparel)

I bought both this and the Julbo Infant/Toddler's Looping Sunglasses with Cord (Julbo Looping 2) to compare the two. This comes in a clear soft plastic case whose insert specifies (among other things) "Made in China" and "Filter category 3, medium tinted / EN 1836 (2005)." A label on the lens says "Comply to ANSI [American National Standards Institute] Z80.3-1986 / 100% UV Protection." (According to the company's Web site, the sunglasses offer 100% UVA & UVB protection.) The frame front is about 4 inches wide and 1.25 inches high. Two elastic straps are attached to the frame front; if you overlap the Velcro on the straps by at least 1/2", you form a wrap-around band that can fit head circumferences of about 15"-19".

PLUSES: I liked the fact that it has no temples to poke a child's eyes. The frame front is quite flexible, which probably leads to better conforming to more faces than a rigid frame front. The price is much lower than the Julbo. ANSI compliance is nice (although more recent versions like 1996 or 2008 would have been even better). The sunglasses float easily, with the straps above the water's surface.

MINUSES: The sunglasses are less stylish (but perhaps more "fun") than the Julbo. The lenses pop out rather easily. There is a "right side up" which may be confusing to young kids. Finally, the bridge has no cushioning material for the nose (although that may not critical due to the frame's flexibility).

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute Specs, June 25, 2009

My 11-month does try to take these off most of the time, but they are really cute and I can't imagine any baby/toddler sunglasses being more comfortable or better sized.

3.0 out of 5 stars sharp warning, June 21, 2009

This product did have some sharp edges left from the plastic molding, which I filed off pretty easily. My baby doesn't like to wear them, however.
