☀️ Béaba · Baby Eyewear · 0–9 Months
Maximum UV protection — from day one.
Developed with opticians, ophthalmologists and osteopaths, the Béaba Glee delivers UV400 Category 4 — the highest lens category available — with side shields, a Fit Tech inner goggle design and adjustable elastic headband for babies from birth to 9 months.
Category 4 is the highest lens category available — designed for extreme UV exposure environments like bright beaches, snow and high altitudes. UV400 certification means 100% filtering across both UVA and UVB. Integrated side shields close off the gap between frame and face, blocking rays that enter from the sides — the area most standard sunglasses leave exposed. For newborns and young babies whose eyes are still developing, this level of protection is not just recommended — it is essential.
The Béaba Glee Baby Sunglasses are the result of a genuine clinical collaboration — developed with opticians, ophthalmologists and osteopaths specifically for babies from birth to 9 months. This is not a cosmetic accessory: Category 4 lenses, side shields and UV400 certification make the Glee a serious protective tool for the youngest, most UV-sensitive eyes. The adjustable elastic headband ensures the fit is secure whether baby is upright in a pram, lying in a bassinet, or being carried.
Unlike clip-on cord systems designed for older babies, the Glee uses an adjustable elastic headband that wraps around the head — staying in place whether baby is in a pram, car seat, or being held. The elastic is adjustable to fit head sizes from newborn through to 9 months, and is gentle against soft infant skin.
The nose pads and temples are lined with Fit Tech — Béaba's proprietary soft material that adapts to the child's individual facial structure. The inner goggle design sits flush against baby's face, eliminating gaps through which UV light could enter and creating a comfortable seal without pressure on delicate skin.

What age are the Béaba Glee sunglasses designed for?
The Béaba Glee Baby Sunglasses are designed for babies from birth to 9 months. The elastic headband and Fit Tech contact pads are sized specifically for newborn and young infant head and facial proportions.
Are the Béaba Glee sunglasses UV400 and Category 4?
Yes. The lenses filter 100% of UV rays and are UV400 certified. Category 4 is the highest lens category available — suitable for extreme sun exposure environments including bright beaches and snow-covered mountains. Category 4 lenses provide more protection than Category 3.
What is the difference between Category 3 and Category 4 lenses?
Category 4 lenses are darker and filter more visible light than Category 3. They are the maximum protection category and are ideal for very bright, high-UV conditions such as snow, high altitude and direct beach sun. Category 3 is suitable for most sunny conditions; Category 4 is for extreme exposure. The Béaba Glee uses Category 4.
How does the elastic headband work on the Béaba Glee?
The Glee features an adjustable elastic headband — not a rigid frame or cord clip. This design allows the sunglasses to stay in place whether baby is upright, reclined in a pram, or lying flat. The adjustable length means it grows with baby and adapts to different head sizes from birth to 9 months.
What is Fit Tech material on the Béaba Glee?
Fit Tech is Béaba's proprietary soft, flexible material used on the nose pads and temples. It adapts to the child's individual facial structure with no hard pressure points — making it gentle enough for newborn skin. The inner goggle design sits flush against the face to eliminate UV entry gaps.
Can the Béaba Glee sunglasses be fitted with prescription lenses?
Yes. The Béaba Glee frame can be fitted with prescription lenses at most optical shops — a practical option for babies who need corrective vision support from an early age.
Do the Béaba Glee sunglasses come with a case?
Yes — a hard protective case to keep lenses scratch-free in your nappy bag, and a microfibre pouch for lens cleaning are both included.
