Start Date: February 25

Real Kids Shades line of protective infants’ and children’s sunglasses provide 100% UV-A and UV-B ray protection. Real Kids Shades are safe, lead-free and made of impact-resistant, shatterproof polycarbonate frames and lenses, a material that is hailed by Prevent Blindness America as “the first choice for children’s eyewear.” Exclusively designed for infants, toddlers, and children 12 years old and under, Real Kids Shades come in a wide assortment of polycarbonate shatterproof frames and lenses with either adjustable neoprene bands, rubber flex or matte metallic finishes. Several of the styles can be fitted with prescription lenses. The sunglasses are especially designed to be kid-friendly, comfortable to wear, adaptable to sports, and stylish.
KIDS ARE AT GREATER RISK FROM UV RAYS
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, until they’re about 10 years old children are at an increased risk for permanent retinal damage from sunlight. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays can lead to eye disease, such as macular degeneration, which scientists now believe is a leading cause of blindness in adults.
SERIOUS SUN PROTECTION
Sunglasses for babies, toddlers, and kids up to age 5 have to do two things:
- Provide 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays, and
- Be comfortable, attractive, and durable so they are used.
FEATURES
- Adjustable neoprene bands are so comfortable, babies tell us they love to wear them.
- Our neoprene bands make these shades float, in salt water, fresh water, and swimming pools.
- Shatterproof, impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses and frames stand up to kid life. Frames can be fitted with prescription lenses, if you like.
My Thoughts
I never really thought about the importance of the suns rays on my kids eyes before. I mean I knew to keep them out of the sun and under their shaded strollers, but besides a floppy hat I never really thought much more past that. After learning of this company and reading up on the dangers, especially those that lead to blindness I took an interest in knowing more.
My toddler loves her sunglasses and loves putting them on even if the sun isn’t out. What I like is this new protection she has for her eyes now, the stylish design her glasses come in (and there are many more on their website) and the ease of use with the adjustable strap, even she can do it. I love these glasses and highly recommend everyone learning more about UV-A and UV-B ray protection and how to prevent blindness. For more information go to Real Kids Shades today.

Evaboo is 2 years old and I think that she would really like the Pink Daisy Pair. She’d benefit so much from new sunglasses after hers were stepped on by a mean guy at SeaWorld. She even told him to say sorry. Such a sweet kid deserves a new pair for herself.
I would pick the extreme sports in lavender!

These are sooo fantastic! And as w/many things, the earlier you start w/a child, the easier it is to get them used to something. I really love the Xtreme Silver w/black, but my FAV is the toddler MLB “CUBS” logo in the 3-7 age range for my Grandson who is almost 3 and has a head that is a little on the large side. His Daddy wears Sunglasses ALL the time outside, so I think it would be easy to get him to wear these! Thanks for a really great giveaway!

Extreme Element – silver flame
My 1 1/2 year old granddaughter is very pale and really needs these glasses…how unique.
I think the solid Pink would go good with her wardrobe in size 24 months. Thanks so much for the offer.
These look like they would actually stay on my baby! I would choose the 0-24 in navy.
