Travel Spotlight: Baby Banz (and Giveaway!)


A few months ago, I bought my son a pair of sunglasses to help protect his eyes from harmful UV exposure. The biggest problem with those glasses was it kept slipping off his face and onto the floor. When I came across Baby Banz, I knew I found the answer to our problem.

Baby Banz sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection through their durable and shatter-resistant polycarbonate frames and lenses. The lenses are ophthalmic quality and if needed, can be replaced with prescription lenses.

What makes these glasses stand out even more is their addition of an adjustable neoprene band that gives it that stay-put factor. See, the Baby Banz are still on Bean's face: Mr. Bean is sporting Baby Banz's new Adventure Banz in Midnight Black. The Adventure Banz have an additional soft silicone nose and brow piece that is embedded in the frame for extra comfort.

It did take some time before Bean became accustomed to wearing sunglasses as his first instinct is to take things off of his head. This is normal, especially for older infants as it is a new experience. We followed the tips for teaching infants and toddlers to wear sunglasses on the Baby Banz site and after a few days Bean now wears them as he plays outside.

The neoprene band is soft and easily adjusts with velcro closures to provide a custom fit for Bean's big head. I love how these glasses will "grow" with him since the band adjusts. His pair will last him until he is about two years old which will give us lots of wear time!

In addition to eye wear, Baby Banz's Protection Collection includes Baby Banz Sun Hats and Wrapz as well as swimwear.

Buy it! You can order from Baby Banz online at http://www.babybanz.com/. Select your country and have fun shopping! While you are there, check out their informative sun safety tips.

Win it! One lucky Psych Mommy reader will receive an Adventure Banz for their little one in choice of size and color! To enter this giveaway, head on over to Baby Banz and tell me another product from their site that you need to protect your little one from the sun.
