Just brought into stock at Hello Baby Online are three of the latest products from Sunshine Kids:

Sunshine Kids Buggy Tray

Excessive U.V. Rays

As a follow up to our recent baby and kids U.V. article, and working with our Baby Banz partners, we have compiled the following Frequently Asked Questions about the  Baby Banz range of sunglasses:

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.

What is the UV protection of Baby Banz and Kidz Banz?

The lenses are a UV400 lens. These lenses block out the entire spectrum of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays from the sun. UVA rays are thought to be more harmful to the skin – they cause sunburn and get below the outer layer of skin. UVB rays are the rays thought to be the worst on the eye and causing damage to the retina and lens with overexposure and under-protection. UVC rays are extremely dangerous but do not reach the earth’s surface due to absorption in the atmosphere.

Overview of the Baby Banz features

What are the Sunglasses made from?

Baby Banz frames and lenses made from polycarbonate material. This material makes Baby Banz virtually shatterproof and ensures that they stand up to wear and tear.

What are the straps made from?

Baby Banz headbands are made from Neoprene. Neoprene is the same material used to make wetsuits; it is stretchy and easy to clean with warm soap and water. The material is very soft and comfortable on the little heads; it also keeps the glasses where they are supposed to be – OVER the child’s eyes. An added bonus is that it floats in water to avoid loss at the pool or beach.

Are Baby Banz adjustable?

Baby Banz headbands adjust and secure with a hook and loop closure system(Velcro®). This allows parents/children to loosen and tighten the glasses as they take them off and on and prolongs the use of the Banz as they “grow” with the child.

Where can I buy Baby Banz products?

Baby Banz products are sold at the Hello Baby online nusery store and you can find the Baby Banz sunglasses in stock here.

Can Baby and Kidz Banz be fitted with prescription lenses?

Yes! Our Baby and Kidz Banz sunglasses are Rx-able and are capable of being cold fitted with a prescription lens up to +/ – 8 diopters. You will need to purchase the Baby or Kidz Banz of your choice and take them to your optician to be fitted with the lenses.

Do children like wearing Baby Banz?

The Baby Banz Gang

Yes is the answer but Baby Banz should be introduced properly to achieve the best result. When infants 2-3 months old are laying in the carriage for a walk, slip the glasses over their heads and let them get used to wearing the glasses. With older children, it is important that the first time they wear the glasses they are outside when the sun is bright; as they will be more likely to see the benefit of wearing glasses if the sun is bothering them. If tried on inside, the child may have an adverse reaction to the glasses simply because the room becomes too dark. In addition, parents who wear glasses themselves set an example little ones will want to follow.

At Hello Baby we are continually striving to provide you with the best baby products on the market and the Baby Banz sunglasses are no exception – Baby & Kidz Banz are 100% UVA/UVB protective.

With sunny days just around the corner, we thought that you may want to know more about the reasons for protecting infants and toddlers fom the harmful rays of UV (ultra violet) light.

So, for example, until approximately eight or nine years 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. 

Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) is high energy radiation from the sun, which is capable of causing damage to living organisms. Ultraviolet radiation is classified by wavelength into three regions:

UVA is thought to contribute to premature aging and wrinkling of the skin and has recently been implicated as a cause of skin cancer.

UVB is more dangerous than UVA and has been implicated as the major cause of skin cancers, sun burning and cataracts.

UVC is extremely dangerous but does not reach the earth’s surface due to absorption in the atmosphere.

Ultra Violet Protection Factor (UPF) is the rating that indicates how much UVR is blocked by a material. For example, a material with a UPF rating of 20 would only allow 1/20th of the hazardous UVR falling on its surface to pass through it. This means that this material would reduce the UVR exposure by a factor of 20. Stated another way, this material would block 95% of the UVR and transmit only 5%. UPF 50+ blocks more than 98%.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is the rating that is used for sunscreens, which refers to the blocking strength of the sunscreen and the length of time it protects. For example, a SPF of 50 will allow you and your child to stay in the sun 50 times longer than the normal time it takes unprotected skin to change color (tan) or burn. If your skin burns in 10 minutes, than your protection will last up to 500 minutes (multiply 50 by 10).

Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going out in the sun, because the chemicals need time to absorb into the skin. The best sunscreen to choose has broad-spectrum protection that can block out both UVA and UVB rays.

About Bamboo

As a result of naturally occurring enzymes within the structure of bamboo cells, bamboo crops will never have had any pesticide treatment and, unlike other crops, do not need fully harvesting and replanting, as they are merely trimmed allowing new shoots to form for the following harvest season.

Natural Bamboo

Being naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic and three times more absorbent than cotton, bamboo fibres guard against chaffing and overheating as well as preventing odours from being trapped and the promulgation of germs and bacteria.

Unlike pure wool or cotton, bamboo material is also non abrasive and is therefore ideal for use on infant and newborn skin. 

About BabyRoyale

Established in 2007, BabyRoyale is a small but dedicated specialist baby blanket company located in the beautiful English county of Hertfordshire.

BabyRoyale is passionate about comfort, quality and style and strive to produce only the best natural and organic blankets for your baby.

Manufacturing

BabyRoyale’s current bamboo range is not only supremely soft and highly breathable, it is also naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial.

Bamboo is ecologically friendly and it requires no pesticides and is the perfect option for producing high quality and luxurious baby products.

BabyRoyale’s Vision

As a fast emerging company BabyRoyale aims to produce only the finest blankets money can buy but at competitive prices to rival those on the High Street.

BabyRoyale’s first product, the Bamboo Baby Blanket, not only raises the bar, it sets a new precedent for what baby products should have to offer.

We have today added more Cosatto baby products to our stock and among them is the Yo! Lightweight Stroller.

Cosatto Yo! lightweight baby stroller in wave design.

Yo! puts me in mind of the Dean of the Unseen University in the Discworld Novel ‘The Last Continent’  Four Excks geddit, if you’ve not read any of the Discworld novels my advice is, Do!

This Yo! Baby Stroller from Cosatto is built on an Aluminium chassis, it is a lightweight stroller/buggy which is very easy to push, and suitable from birth. It is complete with a fleece lined Cosy Toes, and head hugger. Reviewers tend to praise its lightweight and easy manoeuvrability, it can be steered with one hand and the swivel wheels are easily locked. Personally I very much like the way it looks. It is available in other designs.
