BABIATORS LAUNCHES KIDS’ RX LINE
Building on the success of its kids’ sunglass line, Babiators is launching Rx frames for kids ages 2 and up. The frames are made of TR90 with soft rubber molding around the eyes and nose. Each frame comes with an extra set of temples that have a “comfort fit” around the ears to keep the glasses firmly in place. Two styles are available (Buzz, a rectangle, pictured, and Sally, a CatEye).
