Aviator sunglasses for kids with UV protection
These aviator sunglasses for kids have UV400 protection and bendable frames that can handle rough play.
Why choose our aviator sunglasses for kids?
Our aviator sunglasses for kids deliver professional-grade eye protection in the classic pilot style. These UV400 sunglasses block 100% of harmful rays while the mirrored lenses reduce glare for clearer vision. With bendable frames that survive real life, these aviators protect children’s developing eyes without breaking the budget.
Complete UV protection for growing eyes
Children's eyes are more vulnerable to UV damage because their clearer lenses allow more rays to reach the retina. Early protection prevents cataracts and macular degeneration that develop decades later. Our aviator sunglasses feature UV400 protection that creates a total barrier against UVA and UVB radiation.
The mirrored smoke lenses reduce harsh glare from water, sand, snow, and pavement. This anti-reflective coating enhances visual clarity during bright conditions when kids need to see clearly. Unlike basic tinted lenses, our mirror coating actively deflects intense light away from sensitive eyes.

Built tough for childhood adventures
Kids need sunglasses that survive playground chaos and backpack storage. Our bendable frames flex without breaking when accidentally sat on or stepped on. The smooth, BPA-free material won't crack or splinter into sharp edges that could hurt young faces.
The durable construction handles drops onto concrete and the occasional sibling tug-of-war. Each pair also includes a soft fabric pouch, so kids can keep their sunglasses safe in backpacks and beach bags.
Three colors for every personality
Our aviator collection offers three color options that appeal to different ages and styles. All three colors feature the same mirrored smoke lenses that provide consistent protection.
Bold and bright choices
Glossy yellow sunglasses make a statement. Kids love the cheerful color that stands out from typical sunglasses. Plus, it’s easier for parents to spot their children at crowded beaches or busy playgrounds, since the color stands out.
Glossy red aviators bring energy and excitement to sun protection. This vibrant option appeals to children who want their accessories to match their dynamic personalities.
🏖️ Pair with neon swimwear for maximum visibility at the beach.
Classic cool style
Matte navy aviators deliver a timeless appeal that complements any outfit. This sophisticated color choice suits children who prefer an understated style. The matte finish resists fingerprints better than glossy options.
Family coordination
Matching styles help families stay together at crowded beaches. Our sunglasses for kids coordinate with our other swimwear and accessories for men, women, boys, girls, and babies. Coordinate swimwear for the whole gang with our matching swimwear for families.

Aviator sunglasses for kids FAQ
How do I choose the right size for my child?
Match the size range to your child's age, but consider facial structure too. Children with smaller features might need the younger size range longer. The bendable frames provide some flexibility within each size. When in doubt, choose the size range that includes your child's current age.
Are mirrored lenses better than regular tinted lenses?
Mirrored lenses reflect more light away from the eyes and provide better glare reduction. This optimizes them for snow and water activities where reflection intensifies brightness. The mirror coating in our sunglasses adds an extra barrier against UV rays beyond the base UV400 protection.
Do these sunglasses float?
Our aviator sunglasses do not float. For water activities where sunglasses might fall off, consider using a floating strap attachment. The frames can handle splashes and brief water exposure without damage.
What's the difference between UV400 and UV380 protection?
UV400 blocks rays up to 400 nanometers, which provides 100% UVA and UVB protection. UV380 only blocks up to 380 nanometers, missing some UVA rays. Medical professionals recommend UV400 as the minimum standard for children's eye protection.
When should kids wear sunglasses outside?
Children should wear sunglasses whenever the UV index reaches 3 or higher, typically from 10 am to 4 pm. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate cloud cover. Winter also requires protection, as snow reflects rays up into the eyes.
🧢 Our sun protective fleece hats for kids provide additional protection against the damaging winter UV rays.
