Keep your child's sunglasses scratch-free and accessible while traveling. This guide shows you how to pack Babiators shades and accessories like the Wavy Travel Case and Rocket Pack Backpack.
Quick answer
Store your child's Babiators in a dedicated travel case and clip it to a durable, PVC-free backpack so shades stay protected and easy to grab during trips.
Why a dedicated case matters more than a loose bag
Tossing sunglasses into a diaper bag without protection is the fastest way to get scratched lenses. A hard or padded case keeps the frames from bending and the lenses from rubbing against keys, toys, or snacks. The Babiators Wavy Travel Case is made of neoprene, which cushions the glasses and wipes clean easily after sandy outings.
Choosing a backpack vs. a separate pouch
If your toddler carries their own gear, a small backpack with multiple pockets lets you separate sunglasses from snacks and wipes. The Rocket Pack Backpack is made from military-grade fabric and has an elastic chest strap to keep it secure on active kids. For parents who prefer a lighter carry, the Beige Sunglasses Bag is a simple drawstring pouch that fits inside any larger bag.
How to pack kid sunglasses and accessories for travel
- Step 1: Choose the right case for your trip: Select a padded case like the Wavy Baby Travel Case for beach days or long outings where the shades might get knocked around. Use the Beige Sunglasses Bag for short errands when you only need basic scratch protection. Common mistake: using a soft cloth pouch without padding. Even a small drop can misalign plastic frames.
- Step 2: Clip the case to a backpack or stroller: Use the clip on the Wavy Travel Case to attach it to the outside of a Rocket Pack Backpack or your stroller handle. This keeps the sunglasses accessible without taking up interior space. Check that the clip is secure before moving. A loose clip can fall off unnoticed.
- Step 3: Organize accessories in separate backpack compartments: Put the sunglasses case in one pocket of the Rocket Pack Backpack and store wipes, sunscreen, or a hat in another. The multiple loops on the backpack can hold small toys or a pacifier clip. Avoid cramming everything into one pocket. Pressure from other items can bend the sunglasses frame.
- Step 4: Pack the backpack for easy access: Place the backpack in the overhead bin or under the stroller seat with the sunglasses case facing outward. If the child is wearing the backpack, adjust the chest strap so it doesn't slide off. Common mistake: putting the backpack in a checked bag. Keep it with you so sunglasses are available when needed.
