Real Kid Shades #Review & #Giveaway @RealKidsShades

Since 2002, Real Kid Shades has made it their mission to protect as many children’s eyes as possible from the damaging effects of UV radiation. They launched Real Kids Shades when they couldn’t find an inexpensive pair of real protective sunglasses for their own kids. The idea was simple. Create affordable sunglasses designed just for babies and children. And manufacture them with the best materials available and ensure they block 100% of the sun’s harmful rays.

Unlike skin cells, eye lenses cannot repair themselves. Once they’re damaged, they’re damaged forever. Lens cells don’t regenerate and over time, the harm done is cumulative. This can lead to serious eye diseases and even blindness.

That’s why you need to think about sunglasses the same way you think about bicycle helmets. You wouldn’t let your children ride bikes without protective helmets, right? So don’t let your child play outside without protective sunglasses.

Most children’s sunglasses are sold as toys. Toys are great fun, but not so great at protecting something
as vital as your child’s eyesight. In fact, most children’s sunglasses do not protect children’s eyes from harmful UV radiation. Don’t confuse the dark shading of lenses with their ability to filter out these harmful rays. Colored lenses on most toy sunglasses – no matter how dark – will not protect your child’s eyes. The truth is, wearing cheap toy sunglasses can actually do more harm to a child’s eyes than not wearing anything at all. Shaded lenses without 100% UV-A/UV-B protection will relax pupils, causing them to dilate and let MORE harmful radiation into children’s eyes.

Real Kids Shades are specifically constructed to fit kids’ faces and their lifestyles.  My First Shades
line was designed with the help of a pediatric ophthalmologist for optimal fit, comfort and safety.
All   sunglasses are made exclusively for infants and children in kid-approved styles that are shatterproof,
impact-resistant and adaptable to sports and active lifestyles.

Real Kids Shades are extremely comfortable. They don’t pitch like some other sunglasses because they’re specifically designed to fit the measurements for kids’ faces and heads. Not too big. Not too small. Just right. Many  styles come with adjustable neoprene bands to keep them on kids’ heads right where they belong.

We were recently sent a pair for each kid and they love them!   My son received the Flex in blue and he looks like one cool dude with protective eye wear!  Not every kid wants banded sunglasses, so the Flex with has classic temples, but you can still attach the band.  They are sleek and stylish and fit his face perfectly!

Fabulous for girls 7-12, scream my daughter!   Fabulous personalities need Fabulous sun protection.
Stylishly oversized, they’re the perfect sunglasses for blocking UV radiation and paparazzi camera flashes. The polycarbonate frames and lenses are shatterproof, impact-resistant and make just the right fashion statement your budding starlet demands.  They bring out her inner diva while keeping her protected!  She loves the look of Mommy's sunglasses and they are just a mini version for her!   She can look stylish and be protective while playing this summer!
