Baby Banz are “The Ultimate in Children’s Sun Protection.” Baby Banz carries sunglasses with a unique wrap-around banded design and 100% UV protective lenses, UV sun hats, swimwear and more. Baby Banz products are a wonderful gift for a baby shower because “until approx 8-9 yrs old a child has no filters in the eye to block out UV light” a fact many first-time moms probably don’t realize. A hat and sunglass set from Baby Banz would help a mom-to-be get the best start for her new baby by protecting such an important asset – their eyesight.

Baby Banz has a goal of providing the best protection for little eyes and doing it with style. From their website:

In an ever deteriorating UV climate, Baby Banz is steadfast in its ongoing effort to preserve the sensitive eyes and precious skin of little ones everywhere. Baby Banz is committed to developing children’s UV protective sunglasses, hats, accessories and swimwear that not only protect them from the sun’s harmful UV rays, but are also comfortable, fun to wear and strong enough to last.

Baby Banz has generously donated 3 sets of their Hat and Banz Combos, one of which my sister will receive for her shower, one of which was already given away in Week 1, and the other is included as part of the GRAND PRIZE GIVEAWAY! The retail value of this prize is $25.00 plus shipping. I chose the Paradise Purple for my sister’s shower because it is gender neutral and she will simply love it!

Baby Banz also has a blog: The Baby Banz Blog where they share news and current Baby Banz Giveaways and more.

Baby Banz are the “ultimate in children’s sun protection.” If you are wondering why your baby should wear sunglasses, Baby Banz answers that question and more on their “why” page:

Why does my child need to wear Sunglasses?
Baby Banz are a necessity to cover infant and toddler eyes from the harmful rays of UV (ultra violet) light. Until approx 8-9 yrs old a child has no filters in the eye to block out UV light. You can actually do MORE harm to the eye if you put an inferior lens in front of the eye! Behind tinted lenses, the iris opens to allow more light into the eye; if the lens doesn’t protect properly, and more UV light gets into the eye potentially damaging the child’s eye.
