Ever since I saw the child of a friend of mine wearing Frogglez, I knew I had to get my hands on them for my kids!
Frogglez, for those who are unfamiliar, are about the best thing since sliced bread for the swimming pool. Think goggles only without the flimsy stretchy band that breaks or pulls out of the loops or rips hair out. Think wetsuit meets goggles. And man are these things cute and cool!
Available in a variety of colors, I opted for pink because, lets face it, I'm surrounded by princesses who demand nothing but. The Frogglez come with a set of goggles and a stretchy headband, all connected. They are easily switched out for any goggles owned in the house by simply releasing the Velcro tab and feeding it through the attachment loop, putting that loop into your own goggles and then re-attaching the Velcro tab. Super simple!
What's even better is that they go on easily! No more fighting a wet child flopping and squealing like a fish out of water as you try to wrestle the goggles on - not too tight, not too loose, 18 times in a row until they are perfect. Frogglez can easily adjust with the Velcro bands on the sides. The headband slips over the child's head with ease and wraps the top and the back, eliminating all of that sliding around those silly elastic bands do.
Now the kid can swim and dive and jump and fight water ninjas without having to ask Mom over and over to fix them. They seal pretty well too. While I've not had the opportunity to actually put mine in the water, since it's below freezing here, I have to go with dry results for now, but they feel snug and cup around the eyes well. No gaps or cheap plastic that is mis-formed.
I love also that I can use these with multiple children. I put them on my three year old and then switched them to my 8 year old and had no trouble at all! None of the kids complained, in fact they were eager to continue to wear them around the house like superheroes, and were quite disappointed when they were repossessed by Mom.
I will absolutely be buying several more pairs of these, because let's face it, one pair for 4 kids is not going to cut it! I can't wait for summer so we can really test these things out, but I am very optimistic bases on what my hands and eyes have seen and held and from the reports of my friend, that these will be my new favorite pool accessory for the kids!
