Mahuru Blue — Aviator Baby Sunglasses NZ Ages 0–3

Why do babies need sunglasses in NZ?
A baby's eyes are more vulnerable to UV damage than an adult's — the crystalline lens in an infant's eye is still developing and allows significantly more UV radiation through to the retina. New Zealand has one of the highest UV indices in the world. Eye health experts recommend that babies wear certified sunglasses whenever they are outdoors in sunny conditions, from the very first summer onwards.
A beautiful baby shower gift
Baby sunglasses are one of the most practical and underrated gifts for new NZ parents. All three styles arrive ready to give — and they're a gift that gets used every time the family heads outside. From $43 NZD.
