Before opening our store, we didn't realize how difficult it would be to find the right sunglasses. We did extensive field testing with our five-year old, and found most were just too easy to break. There was one brand with the cutest packaging we planned on carrying until the lens kept popping out in playgrounds all around town. Don't get me going about the sunglasses sold on the bargain racks at supermarkets and gas station that don't offer the real UV protection. I want my daughter's sunglasses to offer at least the same protection as the glasses I wear.
That's why we're so happy to have Real Kids Shades at the Tiny Hanger. They stand up to the toughest sunglasses wearers with impact-resistant lenses and strong-sides that really flex. Our newborn to 24 month styles come with a comfortable adjustable neoprene band that keeps the glasses on kids' heads where they belong. Based out of Concord, all RKS glasses are certified BPA free, and provide 100% UV Protection to meet the most stringent light transmittance tests on the planet. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing the parents that started up the company are scientists. They take product testing seriously, and have taken the extra step of posting all the results of the safety testing their website. 
Our family has lost toddler sunglasses many places between the Miami Zoo and Brookline, so we're glad we're able to sell the glasses at the it's-not-the-worst-thing-if-you-lose-'em price of $15-$16. Let us know what you think, and if you go to Miami, be sure to visit the zoo. So much fun, and splurge for the 'Safari-Cycle', it's totally worth it. And, if you take a camel ride, please give our regards to Fluffy and Grande.
