Baby/Kidz Banz Review and Giveaway!

How many times have your bought sunglasses for your child and they were broken within a day or two. And if you are lucky enough that your child actually keeps them in tact, they end up falling off his or her face and getting lost. It's happened to me countless times and that is why I love Baby BanZ! Basically these are a pair of sunglasses, but instead of having plastic pieces to fit over your ears, they come with a pre-attached neoprene strap, with an adjustable Velcro side closing so that it can grow with your child! They don't just have sunglasses, either. Check out the cute sun hats and other things on their site!

I was lucky enough to review a pair of the KidZ BanZ - Adventure BanZ! They are the same product as Baby Banz, only a little bigger. Oh how I wish I had known about these when my older son was little. They are a must have for any parent. They are critical in protecting our kids eye from harmful UV rays and they actually stay in place once your little one has them on! Oh yeah, and they look super cute and stylish in them, too!! I highly recommend these to anyone with children and I am going to start giving these as gifts when I have baby showers to attend.

In an ever deteriorating UV climate, Baby Banz is steadfast in its ongoing effort to preserve the sensitive eyes and precious skin of little ones everywhere. Baby Banz is committed to developing children's UV protective sunglasses, hats, accessories and swimwear that not only protect them from the sun's harmful UV rays, but are also comfortable, fun to wear and strong enough to last.

Some information from the Baby BanZ website:

• 80% of a lifetime sun exposure is obtained before age 18.
• Children from the ages of birth to adolescence are at greatest risk to accrue eye damage from ultraviolet light.
• Immediately after birth, nearly all UV Light is transmitted through the lens to the retina of the infant’s eye because an infant’s lenses have not begun the critical development necessary to block UV Light.
• During childhood, the lens transmittance decreases as the child’s eyes further develop and by the age of 25, the lens absorbs almost all UV Light.
• UV exposure contributes to the development of many eye disorders such as Photokeratitis, a reversible sunburning of the cornea; Cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens which reduces vision; and Skin Cancer can develop on the eyelids and surrounding skin
