Real Kids Shades Protect Your Children as they Play Outside this Summer #Giveaway

It is the start of summer weather, and with that the kids are wanting to be outside more and more hours out of the day.

So how do you protect them and make sure they stay safe during their outdoor playtime?

#1)  Proper Footwear.  Wearing flip-flops during summer time weather, is a staple for most people.  However, children playing on playstructures, at the park, or even biking their bikes, can injure themselves while wearing these unreliable shoes.  Make sure your child is wearing supportive shoes to run, jump and play in.

#2)  Proper Protection for their Eyes.  Sunglasses are a BIG help to protecting your children through their summer playtime (and ALL year round actually!).

Did you know?

  • 82% of parents make sure their children are wearing sunscreen when outdoors, but only 32% tell them to put on sunglasses.

  • 23% of parents don’t check if their children’s sunglasses provide protection against UV rays.

  • A survey found that 40% of Americans don’t know that UV protection is an important factor to consider.

As parents we are, and always have been, religious when it comes to having our sunglasses on and making sure that our children do as well.  Perhaps it has helped that our boy has had a sensitivity to sunlight from day 1, but our sunglasses are never out of reach.

Real Kids Shades believe that sunglasses are not accessories but necessary gear.  Their mission is to protect as many children’s eyes as possible from the damaging effects of UV radiation.  Their sunglasses are made just for kids — comfortable, durable and good-looking.

Real Kids Shades have sunglasses for 3 different age groups: 0-3, 3-7 & 7-12.  With many different styles ranging from fashion-forward to xtreme sport there will be a pair of sunglasses that will be perfect for your child!  The xtreme sport glasses are for active kids, with features designed to stand up to skiing, wave running, and triathlons.  These sunglasses have a back strap to help keep these sunglasses on during different activities.

#3)  Proper clothing.  Extremely loose fitting clothing or clothing that has ties that could potentially come undone can cause hazards as well.  Strings can get caught on swings, slides or other toys, causing children to be “hung-up” and potentially choked.  Please keep the type of clothing your child is wearing in mind when you send them out the door.

#4)  And last but not least — PLEASE remember to put sunscreen on your children when they are outside playing.
