Rosewood Heart Sunglasses - Kids

Yes, if the lenses are UV400 rated. The Cancer Council recommends UV-protective sunglasses for kids from around six months whenever they're outside in bright sun. The damage from UV exposure is cumulative across a lifetime, so the years between 6 and 11 matter for long-term eye health. Fashion sunglasses without UV protection are actively worse than no sunglasses at all - the dark tint makes the pupil dilate and lets in more UV.

The ones they picked themselves. Across our range, the most-worn pair in any household is the one the kid chose from a few options the parent vetted first. Style preferences vary wildly at this age - colour and shape matter more to the kid than spec sheets. The smart move is to curate three or four pairs that all meet the safety bar, then let them pick the colour.

Look for "UV400" or "100% UVA/UVB" on the label, and check whether the brand mentions AS/NZS 1067 compliance (the Australian sunglasses standard). If the brand can't tell you the lens category or the standard, the protection probably isn't verified. A local optometrist can test a pair with a UV meter if you want certainty.

The Lūmmi frame is TPEE - soft, bendable, harder to break than rigid plastic. If something does go wrong, the 12 Months Lūmmi Care Promise covers it. We know kids break things - the warranty is the answer, not the assumption that they won't.

Polarised is the higher-spec option. For everyday wear it's a nice-to-have. For kids who spend a lot of time around water (swimming, beach), or in bright reflective environments (car trips, snow), it makes a real comfort difference. All Lūmmi kids sunnies are polarised - we set that as the standard rather than a paid upgrade.

Currently, our kids' sunglasses are non-prescription only. If your child needs prescription lenses for sun protection, we recommend speaking to your optometrist about prescription sunglasses or a photochromic lens option for their existing glasses.

Yes. Our kids' sunglasses are designed to handle active play. Three features make them sport-friendly:

• Category 3 polarised lenses cut glare so your kid can actually see the ball on a bright day
• Flexible frames bend under pressure instead of snapping if there's a knock or fall
• No metal hinges or pinch points so there's nothing sharp to catch on during contact play

They're not designed as prescription sports eyewear (no wrap-around strap or impact certification), but for weekend soccer, cricket practice, or netball training, they hold up.

No. We stock them in a range of colours so any kid who likes the shape can wear one.

Baby, toddler and kids - varies by colour. Product page has the age fit for each.

Yes. Same lens spec as our hexagon and keyhole shapes.

Pastel Pink and Rosewood are the top sellers in heart. Current stock is above.

Sized correctly, yes. Our baby-fit heart frames are made for smaller heads and use the same flexible construction as the rest of our baby range.

Frame size, mostly. Toddler frames are proportionally bigger and built for the sit-on, throw-across-the-room, "let me try to eat these" reality of a 2-4 year old. Same lenses, same certification.

Our 12-month care promise covers manufacturing faults. Normal school wear (scratches, a bent arm) isn't a fault - that's just school. But if a pair fails in a way that feels off, send us a photo.
