Sunnies were created by moms Kim and Courtney, who noticed their kids regularly complained about the sun hurting their eyes — they set out to make sunglasses that would protect kids' eyes, look cute, and not cost a fortune. With reflective polarized lenses that reduce glare and improve clarity, durable anti-slip frames, and 100% UVA and UVB protection, these sunglasses are fantastic for children.

The bumps on the back of the animal's head soothe sore gums, and the design is flexible and lightweight, making it perfect for little hands.
