Babies' eyes are very fragile since they are still forming and are therefore not fully protected from the sun.
It is therefore essential to protect your baby's eyes with appropriate sunglasses.
Here are the main criteria for choosing the right pair of sunglasses for your baby.
It is essential to choose the best level of sun protection for baby's fragile eyes.
Their eyes have not yet completed their formation and are therefore very vulnerable to UV rays.
For this reason, it is recommended to choose category 3 or 4 sunglasses, which offer the highest level of protection.
The sunglasses frame you choose must match a baby's facial morphology.
As a matter of fact, a baby does not have the same facial characteristics as an adult.
The frame should preferably provide good coverage to protect baby's eyes whatever his head movements.
What's more, the temples should be curved so that they fit snugly and don't move around too much.
The choice of frame shape for sunglasses should also take into account babies' specific flat noses.
Furthermore, sunglasses should preferably be made of nylon, which is both light and strong.
Finally, the frame of the sunglasses should be chosen in an anti-allergenic material.
This will prevent any reaction caused by sunglasses rubbing against baby's fragile skin.
As with the frames, the lenses for baby's sunglasses need to be chosen appropriately.
Babies move around a lot, so the lenses need to be foolproof.
Polycarbonate lenses are recommended for their lightness and impact resistance.
It's also advisable to opt for large, wide sunglasses, as baby looks up very often.
Babies are characterised by fidgeting a lot, in all directions and pretty much all the time.
As a result, they can regularly drop their sunglasses unintentionally.
Babies can also rip off their sunglasses if they feel uncomfortable or out of reflex.
To avoid this kind of problem, we strongly recommend that you add a strap to your baby's sunglasses.
These special clips come in different shapes and colours.
