Baby sunglasses

Coopaloop

Hi everyone,

With the good weather coming in (particularly today) I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get baby sunglasses, and hopefully not online, or actually are they ok for a young baby, my little guy is 13 weeks, but when I was out for a walk yesterday, he was in his pram and was being blinded by the sun, and I don't want to block his view with a blanket as he wants to look out and I want to see him too.

Any suggestions/ideas would be great.

I saw a brand called baby banz but only online and quite expensive too.

Thanks

Jesus I never even thought of an umbrella ha, thanks a mill! Serious baby brain, and here's me thinking "what could I use to block the sun"

Off to baby elegance I go.

Argos have the umbrellas for about €12 too.

I never thought about it until we were on holidays in France with the 1st and another person gave us theirs when they were leaving:)

Mothercare do a baby shade thing aswell, can't remember the brand name. It's about €40 though, couldn't find it cheaper online.
I used it all last summer. It's a mesh cover that suits all buggies. Keeps the sun out but baby can still see out. Keeps insects out too if you're on holidays. Also suitable on windy days when umbrellas are often blown away.

http://www.babytravelshop.ie/sun-protection-for-babies.html have a few things too. I find their prices high but they appear to have a sale on and good for ideas.

I used a parasol or a sun hat. Both are perfect remedies and still allow bubs to have a good nosey around.

I always just used a sunhat and parasol for my little one.

Now she is 2 she wears sunglasses....all the time even when it's cloudy (which granted isn't very often here). Little diva

How Strange

I bought this sunshade last year when we were going on holidays with our 5 month old. I liked that it had a front panel which you could unzip she so wasn't always hidden underneath it.

Thankfully both of mine always had loads of hair because they both refuse to keep hats on.
