Needless to say we gave up on straps! :)

Her glasses were Miraflex, but I didn’t like the strap that came with it. My mom found some white elastic ribbon at the fabric store. So, I would cut a piece and wrap around the glasses (behind the ears) and tie the ribbon behind her head. The nice thing is that the ribbon is soft and not tight. Plus no buckle of any sort on the strap. There would not be any discomfort for an infant who didn’t sit up all the time.

Aubrie’s first glasses were cable temples and they were great. Now that she has regular temples we still do OK because she’s not too active. However, she’s in gymnastics now so a strap may be a need soon.

(Note from Ann Z, I pasted the comment from the actual poll, that’s why this is showing up with my picture, not Holly’s)
