Lytot – bizarre!

I’m not sure where I should even start with Lytot! I’d love to hear from anyone with a kid who wears these! Do you think they would be as practical as the website claims?

“Ahmed ZEKRI’s daughter once visited him in his frame factory. She then dropped her pacifier nearby a sunglasses. The concept of Lytot, assembling a pacifier and sun glasses, was born.

Her daughter, like many infant does not stand to wear sunglasses for more than few minutes. Most of the time kids feel uncomfortable with the temple or the neckband.
Eventually, he imagined sunglasses mounted on to a pacifier she will naturally wear giving her optimal protection.” – From Lytot’s site

They suit her so much. She looks gorgeous!
