10 Best Sunglasses for Kids UK 2024 | Polaroid, Kiddus and More

If your kids like jumping up and down and generally bouncing all around, then this flexible rubber pair should keep up with them well. Designed for kids aged 2-6, these bendable shades will keep on shining through it all without a chance of snapping.

They also offer the holy trinity of lens construction – UV400, polarised and polycarbonate – and the rubber frames will be soft on your child's face while remaining intact and in place. If you needed any more convincing, the easily clipped-on elastic strap will keep the sunnies wrapped, strapped and safely attached.

With a more honed in sense of age, this high-end pair of sunnies from Polaroid are made specifically for kids aged 5-8 years. The all-plastic frame also lends itself to kids with a more distinguished sense of pride in what they own and use. 

Polycarbonate lenses give plenty of insurance where safety is concerned, allowing your kids to soak in all of the sun's glory in a safe manner. Classically styled and with four cool colourways to choose from, this range from Polaroid is reliable, versatile and unique. 

These function-first sunnies really knock the safety aspects out of the park, which is very reassuring as they're intended for any kid over the age of 2. This 100% UV400-blocking pair will perfectly suit younger ones as they're basically indestructible. 

The all-rubber frame with elastic strap will give your child a comfortable yet firm feeling of security when tearing up the playground or park. The polycarbonate lenses also hit the high notes on safety, so they'll remain intact even if they're dropped from the top of the climbing frame. 

Another pair of sunnies for the sporting champions of the future, these rubber, wrap-around shades will keep your kids protected on the pitch, field or beach. The polycarbonate, polarised lenses haven't missed a beat either with a UV400 rating, cancelling out any chance of the sun poking its bright head in. 

This pair come with an age recommendation of 3-10 years, but with the wide wrap-around lenses stretching to 54 mm, the lower end of this range is a little unrealistic. If you have a kid around 10 years, though, and you remember to do a bit of measuring, these are a great buy for slightly older active kids. 

Kiddus are one of the undisputed market leaders when it comes to eyewear for children. Knowing what works, they've been able to create a far-reaching range of high-grade specs. Recommended for kids aged 2-6 years, this wrap-around pair is poised to suit even the most boisterous kids in the park. 

With an all-rubber frame, polycarbonate lenses and an optional clip-on elastic strap, this is a safety-specific pair of sunnies that can grow with your child. The dinosaur print that adorns the entire length of the frame ensures your youngest will be strutting proudly as they stay protected.  

These wrap-around sunnies are ideal for kids looking to keep their eyes protected when on the move. The frame lends itself incredibly well to remaining firmly in place, while the included sports strap will ensure they don't end up on the ground when your child is running and darting about.

The 56 mm polycarbonate lenses are, of course, polarised and come with a reassuring UV400 rating. Also included is a cleaning cloth, a screwdriver and a polarising test card, making this a long-lasting buy that's perfect for sporty, active kids.

Fourchen have got the colour coordination going on with this range of soft, silicone-framed sunnies. Allowing your child to choose their desired colourway from the 20+ options will help them gain an appreciation for wearing sunglasses.

Inspired by the iconic Wayfarer frames of the 1950's, the polarised lenses are 45 mm in width with a UV400 rating. Ray-Bans' style has been replicated the world over and for good reason, allowing your child to feel protected and comfy in style in a pair of Fourchen's. 

Did someone say two for the price of one? That's right, with this deal, you'll get two pairs for just over £5. Perfect whether you have two kids or you'd just like a back-up pair. And let's not ignore that they're as stylishly-retro as you can get with their circular lenses and frames, creating 60's scenes wherever your child walks. 

Hitting you with UV400, polarised lenses just makes this jaw-dropping bargain even sweeter! However, once again, no age bracket is divulged, but with a lens width of 37 mm, they are likely to fit the smallest of kids. 

Another option for anyone after a bargain, EyeLevel have created a thing of sheer cuteness in this pink and blue pair with a bow and love hearts to match. Polycarbonate, UV400 lenses also ensures these sunnies aren't all style and no substance. 

The lens width (including frame) is sitting fairly high at 55 mm, making these suited to older girls, perhaps with a growth spurt already behind them. No specific age recommendation has been included though, leaving a little guesswork to be made in an air of doubt. 

With a modern touch of simple lines and design, these sunnies from Tu are a slimmed-down ode to the aviators of old. Being recommended for any child over the age of three instructs that these sunnies are standard in sizing and scope. 

Unfortunately, no measurements have been included to give you a better idea on sizing. However, what we do know is that their lenses have 100% UV protection – which, for under £5, is certainly nothing to be scoffed at.
