The best baby sunglasses to protect their eyes this summer

Whether you're going on holiday or need a new pair because your child lost the old ones, these are the ones to get. These bestsellers are made with UV400 for your peace of mind, and they wrap around the baby's head for added coverage. One mum loved this feature in particular, saying, "They wrap around a little, so good coverage. They have served us very well for three years."

Parents found these were particularly well designed for children who liked to remove their sunglasses themselves, as the wrap-around design made it harder for them. The main downside was the lenses, as they scratch easily if dropped.

The detachable strap of these sunglasses is also adjustable, ensuring a snug fit for your youngster and that they won't get lost - or pulled off! We love that there are no gaps around the frames for sunlight to get through.

Parents loved how difficult they are to remove thanks to the "handy adjustable strap" which you can also remove if it's not needed. Made using quality plastic, they're designed to stand the test of time. Available in four different colours, there's something to suit every tot, and they're available in two sizes to suit different ages.

Next, we have the ultimate eyewear accessory - the sunglasses strap. This little accessory will fasten around your baby's head - gone are the days of spending an hour looking for them at play school. They're also ideal for that stage when glasses often fall down on little one's face, as one mum reviewer said; "These are great, kept my two-year-old from losing them down his face which really frustrated him! It took a little while to get used to them, but he loves them not falling off!!"

Another parent found them great for playtime as they didn't fall off when their child was playing in a play area. They also come in four different colours, and although they don't come with a pair of sunglasses included, they are designed to fit any pair easily.

Recommended for hiking, these baby sunglasses from Decathlon are a must-have for any fun trips out. Whether you're popping into the local park, visiting a theme park, or going for a long walk around a nature reserve, you should never leave home without them.

They're of a wrap-around style, which gives plenty of protection for baby's eyes. They don't fix around the head, but the material is sturdy and flexible, giving bendy resistance which will keep them fitted to your little one's head; one mum reviewer loved how well they stayed on her baby's face, commenting: "They stay on her face and don't drop down, she doesn't take them off, and I'm finally able to have the pram hood down so she can look around without wincing at the sun constantly."

Lightweight and bendable, they have the maximum category 4 eye protection, giving us parents peace of mind when out and about, with anti-UV, polarised lenses. However, unlike some, we've tested, they don't come with a carry case or bag; one mum tester, Sophie, said: "They're small and handy to have on days out, but I would like to have a bag to put them in, so they aren't at risk of being scratched inside my changing bag."

These baby sunglasses are available in pink or blue; we'd like more colours to be available.

Unbreakable is a word we like to hear when it comes to things to give to our little ones which is why we love these baby sunglasses so much. Designed to withstand chewing and bending, they are also extremely lightweight and built to float; there's no need to worry about losing them in the pool or sea.

They're designed for newborns to two years old, although they are on the small side, so they might not reach the age of two. The lenses are categorised as UV400, blocking 100 per cent of UVA/B rays. If you sign up, a warranty is available to look after the lenses if they are damaged.

The frames are flexible with a good degree of bend to them, meaning they'll sit comfortably on your baby's head and withstand their play.

One mum reviewer said, " They are flexible, damage-resistant, and must be comfortable, as my finicky 2-year-old will wear hers without fuss. She even asks to put them on whenever she feels like it!" These glasses are also safe, with complete UVA, UVB, and UVC protection.

We tested the black frames with orange/red lenses, which are available in various colours.

Made from flexible rubber that is claimed to be indestructible, these Babiators won't break if your toddler bends or twists them. The lenses are impact—and shatter-resistant, offering 100 per cent UV protection from the sun.

With a handy drawstring bag included for protection and storage, parents also loved that Babiators would replace these glasses if lost or damaged in the first year. One parent said, " It's great to know the guarantee covers a new pair if we have any mishaps!" They're also available in various shades depending on what your child likes best.

Choosing the right sunglasses for children is difficult. Picking the right sunglasses for newborns is almost impossible. Luckily, here at Mother&Baby, we found these incredible glasses from Banz. They have a headband to ensure they stay on, so you'll never misplace your baby's eyewear again. They come with a cleaning cloth and a handy little pouch to keep them safe. They're listed as suitable for ages newborn to two years, although they might be too small to last that long.

Available in three different colours and two different sizes, parents loved how well these glasses fit their baby. One parent said, " They fit her head perfectly, no sun is getting in, and they offer round-the-eye protection. They are dark, so my super sensitive-to-sun child doesn't cry at all."

Parents found these were easy for children to put on and take off themselves with ease, which was great for sunny days at play school or nursery; M&B tester and Contributor Sophie Knight said: "The Velcro strap is sturdy but soft, and keeps these sunglasses on my daughter's head safety and easily. She keeps them on happily and seems comfy; I've tried other baby sunglasses that just get pulled off straight away. I'm happy my baby's eyes are protected wearing these. It's a shame they don't come in more colours, as white, pink, and blue aren't the most exciting selection."

Providing total practicality, these Baby Banz Adventure Sunglasses feature a slimline design and a comfortable strap that secures them to protect their little eyes. We know what it's like when your little one won't stop taking their sunglasses off, only to misplace them. Thankfully, the design of these glasses may help to prevent this from happening.

Parents found them "easy to strap on baby" and useful for protecting babies' eyes from sand on the beach. Although they're designed to fit comfortably on babies' brows and noses, you may want to try some different sizes to find the best fit for your baby.

Wraparound sunglasses are arguably the best design for babies as they block out most of the light while protecting little eyes from harmful rays. These baby sunglasses from Mausito are lightweight and easy to put on to wriggly heads. The strap is lightweight and soft and fixes with Velcro on both sides of the head, so they're really adjustable; parents found these "easy to put on" their little ones, and they found them comfortable thanks to the soft nose bridge with adjustable headband.

Available in a wide variety of stylish colours - from blue, pink, and cream to black and grey - these have a very high UVA protection rating for your peace of mind. The main downside parents found was that the thicker strap was a little uncomfortable for some children, while other parents thought the sturdy strap made them more hardwearing - so it's really down to personal preference.

The sunglasses come with a brightly coloured protective bag, which is useful for popping them into when you're on the beach.

We love these adorable kids' sunglasses. They come with a handy silicone strap, meaning your little one won't be able to lose them easily. Parents found the silicone "really soft and comfortable" for delicate skin despite the limited sizes available.

Available in a variety of cute colours, these will look great on any baby and the polarised lenses will keep their eyes protected. We also love that they come with a handy storage pouch to keep them safe when out and about.

Stylish, sustainable, and safe, there's a lot to love about these fabulously fun-looking flower sunglasses. Not only did parents love the design, but little ones did, with one mum commenting: "She loves the purple flower design, and I love that they have UV protection. Win-win!"

The sturdy frames are 100 per cent recycled polycarbonate and have scratch-resistant gradient polarised lenses to protect their eyes while also looking cool. The funky tortoiseshell pattern on the arms makes these stand out and will suit fashionable toddlers everywhere, but these are definitely more for style than practicality, as opposed to the wrap-around designs of others in our list.

Parents found the fit excellent, with one parent commenting: "These are a great fit and don't fall off even when my daughter is zooming around the neighbourhood on her bike or scooter." Currently, these sunglasses are available in pale pink or mint green - we wish there were more colours to choose from, but that's the only real downside. These shades also come with a protective storage pouch. Do note that these are suitable for people aged three and upwards.
