shades

MyFirstShades.com recently sent me two pair of children’s sunglasses for the boys to try. The boys were so excited to have their own suglasses and wear sunglasses just like “mommy and daddy.” I am overall very impressed with the durability of these glasses. My two year old has used his pair, which he nicknamed his “eyes,” for three days straight and they are not only still intact but even look brand new. Since we live on a lake and swim almost every day during the summer, I also feel very comfortable knowing that the boys eyes are protected from UV rays. At first I thought that the price was a little high at $14.95, but after they have proven to be so great, I actually think they are worth the price. If you are interested in purchasing some shades, you can snag a deal by using our online code BARGAIN for 10% off your order.

How about a giveaway from My First Shades? If you would like to win a pair of shades for your child, head over to MyFirstShades.com and choose which feature you like the most. Then come back and leave a comment telling me which color or feature you fancy the most for your child. I’ll choose the winner on Monday, August 18th!

    I love the bubble gum pink ones. I also like the fact that they stay put and there’s no arms or things they could poke in their eyes. Thanks for a great giveaway!

    What a neat idea! I’ve lost count of how many sunglasses I’ve bought for the kids that have disappeared or they wore for five minutes and didn’t like how they slipped off their face. The neoprene band is a wonderful idea.
    Brown would suit my redheads very well. Would love to win!
    Enjoy your blog and your bargain ideas!

    The neoprene band so they stay on! My son is 2 and just won’t keep his glasses on for nothing.

    I like the band that keeps them staying on - i have a newborn but will want to get these for when he’s a little older. I also like that they come in lots of colors - i think aqua blue to go with his sweet blue eyes! thanks for the tip.

    I already have 2 pairs that were hand-me-downs, and I just wanted to tell everyone how much we love them! My son will actually wear them, and the earpieces don’t break off. :) It also helped with the transition to goggles (for swimming lessons).

    I think the strap that keeps them secure is a great feature. The royal blue would be nice for Roman.

    I love the strap for keeping them on - no more broken arms! I think the ladybugs are my fave!

    Yes.. a very cute idea. My son would look cute in the aqua blue ABC shades. Thanks so much for all you do for us!

    The blue ones match my little boys eyes! He loves to grab for my sunglasses… It would be great if he had his own *unbreakable* pair.

    I love the adjustable strap and that they’re curved to fit my child’s head.

    My little girl would love a pink pair! I love that they are durable. She’s broken several pair. It would be good to have a pair that she can’t destroy.

    How cool are these! I love the fact they can’t stick in little eyes!! The pink daisy ones are too cute. Maya’s bday is today, hmm you have me thinking now seeing as we haven’t gotten her anything yet. I will say I am a bit confused on why some are different priced, but I think they could be worth it. Thanks Lori!!

    I love that they will stay on while in the sunny pool and we won’t lose them. I don’t know how many times he’s poked himself in the eyes with his current shades. Logan would love the really cool metallic blue ones.

    I love the infinity shades. They will be great for the year round FL sun and they will match daddy’s shades!!!! The neoprene strap seems like such a good idea.

    My favorite feature is that they don’t have metal hinges, which always seem to pull hair. I also love that they don’t have any sharp ear pieces , which might injure the very eyes you’re trying to protect.

    I love the neoprene strap and the UV protection. My nephew loves going to the park and shades are definitely needed in Texas. We will be able to keep these on him and not have to worry he dropped them while trying to catch the ducks!

    I have a grandson who has occular albinism and we are forever searching for the right sunglasses as he is very sensitive to the sunlight. These would be great as they are waterproof and are secure. I like that they wrap around.

    I am the same as you…I looked into these but thought too pricey. Now I know someone who has tried them! :) I LOVE that they offer infant sunglasses and the wrap around feature that allows it to stay on a baby’s head is great! I live in the Sunshine State so these would be used very often! Blue or green would be best for a boy I guess. Thanx so much for the free offer!!

    I love that they are 100% UVA & UVB protection and that they are shatterproof, waterproof and rustproof. The ladybug ones are super cute.

    I love that they really protect the eyes and that they can be made into prescription sunglasses. My daughter wears glasses so that would be great.

    I love the strap. Every kid needs a strap to keep them on!

    I love the band for the little ones to keep them snug and not constantly falling off. And the Aqua pink roses for girls is too cute!

    Love the green one’s! I think it is cool how they have a strap to help hold them on.

    I love that they are shatterproof. With a 2 yr old little boy, all things that come into contact with hime needs to be shatterproof! :)

    I like the Infnity Shades in Glossy Bubble Gum for my Diva 2 year old daughter.

    Wow, what a great product. As a grandma, I am constantly surprised with things that didn’t exist when my kids were small.

    I bought so many replacement glasses because they just were small adult versions and broke easily.

    I like the excellent sun protection and the stay put power feature looks extraordinary

    Rock on!

    I love the Infant ABC ladybug ones! So cute and functional!!

  48. Heidi
    17 Aug 08

    How cool are the Infinity Shades?!?!? The kids are going to LOVE being just as cool as Daddy in these mirrored shades.
    What does Mama love best?
    The serious side of me is so glad of the assurance of 100% UVA and UVB protection - my eyes are bad and if I want to help my daughter keep hers good as long as possible. Shatterproof is an EXCELLENT feature for mothers of preschoolers who have a rough edge about them.
    The fun side of me is in love with the straps! Sure they help the shades stay on but a strap boasting my Red Sox makes my kids a walking billboard and me a proud Mama!!

    I love the Really Cool Chocolate brown ones. Great for my active 6 year old.

    I love the band on the back. I have three girls so especially love that they come in pink!

    I love the fun girly prints, and the cool sport logo prints for boys!

  52. Shay

    I love that they won’t be pinching their little fingers like w/ a traditional pair. I also like the wrap around style to protect their eyes on the side. For a baby boy, I like navy blue. For a 3 yr. old girl, I like bubble gum pink. Thanks for the chance to win.

    Oh how wonderful! These stay on, are adjustable and don’t dig into the side of the baby’s head! I have a pair of plastic ones for my son but they dig into his head on the side if you know what I’m saying. I also worry that he’ll pull them off and poke his eye out. Also they provide 100% UV protection, which some of the kids glasses don’t seem like they would. I know I’m a first time mom. I like the ABC Shades in blue for my 1 year old son.

    Cool Sunglasses. Finally, a pair of sunglasses that will stay put and be comfortable. My favorite feature is that they do not have pointy temple arms or metal hinges, and my favorite color is translucent navy blue.

    I love those glasses! I wish I would have heard about them for my older girls!

    I just love the 100% UV protection and that they are waterproof (since my girls love running in the sprinkler etc). I also like that they are professional grade poly frames and lenses. I just love the bubble gum pink ones for my toddler.
