Minishades Polarized was developed by the creators of Reflekt Polarized, who as parents ourselves, grew tired of in-adequate childrens sunglasses (Non-polarized sunglasses, cheap sunglasses and /or plastic sunglasses that break. Kids need to cut the glare and relax their eyes just as adults do. In fact children's eyes are more susceptible to UV damage than adults. Your child’s developing eyes are more transparent, which allows more harmful light to reach the retina. Polarized lenses block the reflected UV light in addition to the direct & scattered UV light. This essential layer of protection is now a standard in adult sunglasses. We felt it is time your kids have the same protection, so we decided to take 20 years of polarized sunglass experience and develop the only all polarized brand for little kids....welcome to Minishades.

Great value overall, Smart Design
Overall these glasses check the boxes.They seem to be flimsy at first but theybsrent. The glasses are made flexible by design since they are intended to be used by children. Smart move in my opinion for the younger user. They are study enough to be comfortable and provide a good fit for the older user of the price range. For us with multiple children this is a great point.The registration is easy. You will get a confirmation and a code to redeem the replacement in an email that you'll have to store for future use.The lenses seem to be good from my comparison with adult glasses, as far as filtration and darkness. They are also on the flexible side, again by design.A great value with the replacement at shipping cost for this price. Not disappointed.

Great glasses, highly recommend! Please protect your kids eyes from the sun!
Mini shades are great! Very flexible and comfortable frames, my 2yr old son loves them and he refused to wear glasses before I persuaded him to try these! Now he asks for them and wears them everywhere! He has flexed the frames wide open and twisted them, as kids do, and neither the frames nor lenses were the least bit distressed from it. He gets lots of compliments on his style, although technically the logo-ing on the temples could be "better" somehow. Bought him both the 0-3 and the 3-7. He has a wide head so the at 2yrs the 0-3 fit better especially on the nose but ear pieces flex out a bit and they are almost getting short to go over his ears. 3-7 fit pretty well already but are just a bit loose and tend to slide down the nose more when active. My 2 month old has worn then too and they fit great but fall off easily in car seat or stroller because the ear piece gets pushed forward from the headrest.

Durable
These are perfect for our 5 yr old. She wears them mainly at the beach and they stand up to some serious abuse. Also they block all UV rays, and are dark enough to wear in bright sun.

Best glasses I've put on my toddler
These are awesome for a toddler. My 2 year old would not wear any sunglasses until I put these on her, and she never wants to take them off! they are tougher than I ever expected as she "opens" them as far as they can (makes a line with them.... and they look like the day I bought them. They are really polarized as tested to other glasses (the rotate test). I never would have expected such a cool product for so little. They have my business and recommendation for all kids glasses.I did get the 1-3 year old glasses and they fit my 2 year old perfectly, the next size up I also bought and they are too big, and noticeably. My little girl is 50% in everything (less on weight).

Super cute, comfy and come with a warranty!
These shades are absolutely precious! My daughter is 16 months and in the 95th percentile for head size and they fit her just fine. They have a lot of flex to them so I don't doubt they could fit her for another year or so. They do make a creaking noise when she's playing with them and flexing them in and out but they don't break and the lenses don't pop out. They must be incredibly comfortable because she doesn't pull them off of her face all the time like others.They also come with a Hide n' Seek loss warranty where they'll replace a missing or broken pair! I thought that was really awesome when I saw it on the box.

TOTALLY AWESOME!
A must have for any child of any age. Our grandson has been wearing these since he was six months old. He’s three and still wearing them. Very sturdy and worth every penny. Don’t forget to go to the Minishades web site and sign up for the warranty. No excuses replacement for $7.95. Will get exact replacement. So far we haven’t had to do that because they are so good.
