    Default Sunglasses for the little ones

    How in the world do you keep sunglasses on your kids and grandkids while out on a family fishing outing?

    I have 2 granddaughters that are just like their dad was at their ages (2 1/2 and 1 1/2)---Mach 2 with their hair on fire..........any ideas?

    Duct tape. If that doesn't do the job you did not use enough.

    Our daughter and Son in law let our grand daughter (not quite 2) pick out her own sun glasses. She does not want to go any where with out them

    Staples and duct tape ... come on guys, get serious! Everyone sensible uses velcro - a strip on the temples of the glasses and then put the other part of the velcro on the sides of their little heads using super glue (you may have to shave a bit of hair off for proper adhesion). This way the glasses can be taken on and off when necessary. Those "permanent" installation method aren't as convenient.

    Grandmas know ... it's thumbtacks that work best!
    Let them pick out their own glasses, then use the glasses keepers, for sports, to hold them in place. Works best if everyone has the keepers (great for the waters). And don't forget the hats!

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    There are a couple of brands of sunglasses out that have a neoprene band and velcro instead of normal ear pieces. I think the ones we have are called Wee Shades. I found some on Amazon.com called Baby Banz and Kids Banz. I can honestly say that they won't fall off. Keeping them on is a completely different story.

    Yep the ones with the straps are the best. Otherwise, a helmet with dark visor!

    Now a days all the kids have pierced ears that you can secure a chain to. A chain on each ear does the trick.
