Baby Sunglasses
Flexible, semi-transparent strap that baby won't pull off as often | |
Sure, you can pick up small-sized sunglasses at any Wal-Mart. You can even get a strap to keep them from falling onto the ground. There is nothing, though, to discourage baby from pulling them off his/her face. They are just too easy for baby fingers to grab.
These 'glasses' would simply be stretchy
plastic, a loop perhaps. Of course, the first few times, Junior/Juniorette would pull them off or at least try, but it would be far more difficult, and he/she would eventually learn that life is nicer out of doors with it on.

DrCurry: not baked. Pay attention, and read the description of the idea, not just the title, please. |

The link you posted is essentially what I described in the first paragraph. Those are still too easy for the baby to grab and pull off. Now go to the second paragraph. I am talking about something that is simpler, not in any way a fashionable thing, i.e., no frames for the baby to grab. |

For the record, I did use Google. |

Buy them some huge smith/oakley moto-X/snowboarding goggles. |

Just Mind walking this to the point of ridicule, perhaps (if not already there, it seems): |
|
| |
Forego the strap, with a tinted helmet. This would serve several purposes: |
|
| |
1. Keeps baby from inserting miscellaneous guck into facial openings |
|
| |
2. With airtight seal and O2 supplement, allows more freedom for baby, and hence parent/guardian, in waterplay such as in the pool |
|
| |
3. Prevents undesirable creepy-crawly ingestion or even exposure; less mosquito bites |
|
| |
It could, alternatively, have air holes in the rear hemisphere. Does this belong as a separate idea, perhaps? |
|
| |
kluger, you could go all out with a baby space suit. Think of the photos... |
|
| |
Or, for the ultimate baby fashion, Darth Vader helmets. It could sense diaper wetness with remote sensors and talk with a James Earl Jones voice: "Luke... I need a diaper..." |

Is there really a problem? My daughter was taken skiing (sitting outside mountain restaurants in the sun, etc) from age 6 months. I don't recall she ever wanted to remove those nice sunglasses to get the scary-too-bright-glare effect. In my experience, kids like comfort, and soon learn to accept anything which improves their environment. |

Check out www.babybanz.com. These look exactly like what you're looking for. |

indeed if on top of a snowy mountain on a sunny day a baby will have the sense to wear shades because snow-glare makes them uncomfortable, unfortuantely UV light does not make them uncomfortable on its own |
