A Wallaby:

A Wallaby note the similarity.

And Finally – a small obsession of  mine.

I was at University in Sheffield and joined the YHA society — we were keen hillwalkers and would spend most Sundays in the hills, once some of my friends reported seeing Wallabies during a walk in the Roaches, they were accused of overindulging during the ‘Pub for lunch’ interval. However some research then and now shows that there are indeed Wallabies in the Roaches.

Wallabies in the Roaches about 1962.

Recent Wallaby sightings are reported here.

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.
