Need help with baby glasses!

[MrsKennedy]

Hey everyone i am new to this site but i was hoping i could find some help on here....
My son- who is 14 months old- needs glasses. I set up an account with Solo Bambini for my office (I am the frame purchaser) and when I recieved them I was unhappy with the quality of all of them except the Vulkani style. The vulkani is a soft memory plastic- with almost a rubber padding on the back of the frame front so it does not dig into his little baby nose at all :) This frame has cable temples- a necessity...and is extremely durable for all of the three million times a day that my son takes these glasses off and throws them. (With a very proud look on his face when he does....LOL)
SO the issue here- is that I went to order him a second set- as all children need....and they have discontinued the Vulkani? Why- i have no idea! But the customer service at solobambini is somewhat lacking :( And I can not find an alternative anywhere!! (The one good thing- they let me return all the other styles that i was unhappy with...)
so does anyone know where I can find a soft- rubbery- memory plastic baby sized (well really a 42-45 would be fine) cable temple frame? And if I find a good alternative I would love to incorporate this into my office/board spaces....
Thanks for the help!

There are a few adults out there that could use a frame made like that as well. EXP: the ones that fall asleep in them...:)

Miraflex frames are similar to the Solo Bambini frames.

Hilco has baby frames called "Como baby". I've used them on several of my patients and have very good success with them.

When your son is older and/or has grown out of the "throwing stage check out the German collection Eugene Nussbaummer...he has a Felix collection among others. Grant USA out of NYC is also funky and great quality. I carry about 60 pieces of it.

The Como Baby is from Solo Bambini, so you will probably pay an extra mark-up.

LAFONT BRANCHES OUT TO BABIES. Known for its use of brilliant colors and unique shapes, Lafont recently expanded its collection to include these characteristics in a collection (called pour les bébés) for babies up to 24 months. A rubberized inside with an elastic polymide outside ensures a proper fit; the bridges are unshaped so there are no pressure spots. Shapes include a round and an oval; each boasts two dazzling color combinations and two patterns. A special eight-piece display box with a pop-up folder inside is available. For more information, contact Lafont at 800-832-8233 or lafont.com.

I absolutely adore the new Lafont stuff- I went to the website though and it got me nowhere...so i guess i'll try calling them! I'm worried about the priciness of Lafont but it's worth checking out.
The como baby is the same solobambini product that I already tried. My son wore them for about twenty minutes and started crying because the molded nose pieces are hard plastic and were digging into his skin! Poor babe has no bridge you know...
thanks for all the help guys!
