As the sun starts to shine a little brighter, it's time to start thinking about sunscreen and UV protection, both for yourself and for your baby. I can think of no better product line than Baby Banz to keep your little ones sensitive skin, and eyes, safe from the rays this summer.

Founded in 2001, Baby Banz was created by a frustrated parent in Australia. Tired of trying to find a pair of sunglasses that would properly fit, and therefore protect, his son's eyes, he created the Original Baby Banz Sunglasses.

It's amazing to me what you parents manage to invent out of necessity.

Since then, Baby Banz has grown by leaps and bounds. What was once just one pair of baby sunglasses now includes sunglasses for older kids in a variety of styles, SPF 50 swim wear, sun hats, and flap hats. In 2002, he made his debut in the United States and now the Baby Banz line can be found in countries all over the globe.

The Baby Banz sunglasses offer a unique construction with a neoprene, elastic band that fits comfortably, yet securely, around your tots noggin'. This means that there's no way for sunlight to creep in the sides of the lenses and risk damaging your babes little eyes. The frames are shatter resistant and can be fitted with prescription lenses if necessary.

While you're at the site, check out the Baby Banz swim wear line too. With a guaranteed protection of SPF 50, and have a side zipper leg to ensure easy access for diaper changes; what parent could ask for more?

Overall, Baby Banz is one heck of a line. Comfortable and full of protection, every parent should consider Baby Banz for their babies summer wear.
