The sunglasses that actually stay on. California Baby Designer Baby Banz Sunglasses are built for the reality of putting eyewear on a small person who has opinions about it — 100% UVA and UVB protection, shatter-resistant lenses, silicone cushions on the nose and brow for comfort, and a flexible neoprene elastic strap that keeps the glasses in place through all the opinions. Made in the USA.

Why Parents Love Them

The neoprene strap is the differentiator — flexible, adjustable, and designed to sit just above the ears snugly enough to prevent slipping without being uncomfortable. The silicone nose and brow cushions distribute the fit gently across the thinnest part of the bridge, which matters when the bridge in question belongs to someone who is not yet practiced at tolerating things on their face. Shatter-resistant lenses mean the sunglasses survive contact with the ground, the stroller, and the general enthusiasm of being carried by a six-month-old.

Tips for Getting Them On (and Keeping Them There)

Introduce sunglasses early — around 5 to 6 months is ideal. The sooner they become part of the routine, the sooner they become normal. When your child takes them off (and they will), put them back on calmly and consistently. Eventually, they will become accustomed to the sensation and stop trying to fix it. For the best fit, position the nosepiece at the thinnest part of the nose bridge and adjust the strap until it holds without pulling. Clean lenses with lens cleaner and a soft cloth, or soap and water — never paper towels, which can scratch. By California Baby.
