Most people assume that you only need to wear sunblock and sunscreen in the summer months. However, the sun’s rays are just as harmful during the winter months. Skin cancer is a very real concern and can even appear in the eyes. My now five-year old has a pre-cancerous spot removed from his back when he was only three and our dermatologist highly recommended even eye protection, especially for my eight-year old that had a spot showing up near his eyes. His recommended us purchasing a good pair for the kiddos that didn’t cost a fortune, but were a step up from the cheap kids glasses. That’s when we started reading about Real Kids Shades.

Since 2002, Real Kids Shades have made it their mission to protect as many children’s eyes as possible from the damaging effects of UV radiation. They offer 100% UV protective sunglasses at very affordable prices, but are also designed for kids which means they are virtually unbreakable.

As I mentioned earlier, even our dermatologist recommended always wearing sunglasses. We tell our kiddos that it’s like sunscreen for your eyes. A really great pair of sunglasses help to protect your children’s eyes from the sun’s harmful rays which is so very important. Think how sensitive our eyes are to the sun as adults, now think about your child’s? Kids generally have more sensitive eyes than adults which puts them at a high risk of permanent sun damage than adults. Just like skin, the sun damage is cumulative, irreparable and can happen any time of year.

Real Kids Shakes take fit and performance very seriously! They create styles that kids love to wear at a price point that parents can afford. They offer custom sized products for:Baby (0+), Toddler (2+), Kid (4+), and Youth (7+). They also have a young adult like which I think is pretty awesome. Not only do they offer different size options, they have different styles as well.

Flex Fit
Building on our successful flexible technology, Real Kids now offers TPEE Flex-Fit frames for all age/stages and all Real Kids products use polycarbonate lenses. In addition to the expanded line of sunglasses for children, Real Kids has taken their award-winning product design to a new level.

P2 Lens Technology
Their new P2 Lens Technology which combines our lightweight, impact resistant polycarbonate lenses with glare-reduction polarization at an outstanding price point.

We have been testing out the Blaze Youth P2 Polarized Lens with  my eight-year old and they were perfect for this kid on the go. He wears them all the time, and especially when bike riding.  The polarized lens is our personal favorite and gives him a crisp, clear view.  They were a perfect fit for my eight-year old. I tried them on my five-year old just to see how they fit and he would definitely need to wear the 4+ to get a comfortable fit around his ears. Real Kids Shades so far have been very durable and is a brand that I would recommend to anyone looking for affordable eye protection for their kiddos.
