We’re very excited to share some big news. Snugsee has been shortlisted in the Junior Design Awards 2026 for Best Health & Wellbeing Brand (Children).
Even more special for us, this recognition comes in our very first year since launching Snugsee.
The Junior Design Awards celebrate standout design, innovation and creativity across the children’s industry. Snugsee is one of just five brands shortlisted in the Best Health & Wellbeing Brand (Children) category.

Why we created Snugsee
Snugsee started with a simple problem. Traditional children’s sunglasses can leave large gaps around the eyes, which isn’t ideal for children who are particularly sensitive to bright light, wind, pollen and other outdoor irritants.
After seeing first-hand how uncomfortable sensitive eyes could make being outdoors, we wanted to create kids’ sunglasses that offered better coverage without making children feel like they were wearing specialist eyewear.
That led to our close-fitting kids wraparound sunglasses, available in child-specific sizes, with our optional Snug Shield soft padding for an even closer fit around the eyes.
The wraparound design helps minimise the gaps where sunlight, wind, pollen and other airborne irritants can reach the eye area, while bright colours and interchangeable Snugsee Charms make them something children can actually enjoy wearing.
Their close-fitting wraparound design can also make Snugsee a practical choice for children who wear sunglasses during hay fever season, helping reduce exposure around the eyes to pollen, wind and other outdoor irritants.

Clever protection. Made for kids.
From the beginning, we’ve believed that good design shouldn’t mean choosing between protection, comfort and style.
Every Snugsee detail has been considered around how children actually use their sunglasses. From lightweight wraparound frames and UV400 lenses to different fits, sizes and playful colours, our goal is simple. Help more children with sensitive eyes feel comfortable getting outside and joining in.
Being shortlisted for Best Health & Wellbeing Brand (Children) in our first year feels like a wonderful recognition of that mission.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Snugsee so far. We're still on our mission to ensure 'No Kids Left Inside'.
The Junior Design Awards 2026 winners will be announced in mid September. Fingers crossed for the final results! 🤞
