Did you try adult goggles? Contacts are great, been wearing them for about 25 years, maybe more!

My 6 year old wears glasses. He has Rec Specs glasses he wears under dragon youth goggles.

Depending upon how big or small or child is. We raced for two seasons with glasses. My son found comfort when he wore an adult XS helmet and adult goggles. Remember if your child is wearing a youth helmet, the adult goggles dont fit so well. And actually dirt will get into his eyes. Also a friendly tip, make sure you use defog on the glasses. If you dont have defog the day of the race a quick fix is shaving cream. Just clean the lenses on both sides of his glasses. Hope for the best then get him or her contact lenses.

Good Luck!!

be careful with real glasses under goggles. when you take a tumble they can hurt. Contacts can suck with dust, i just carry saline with me and a little flush with that goes a long way.

i would contact oakley or spy . you can call them or email them or eny big goggle company , and ask them what they recomend. or you can ask your eye doctor . my wife used oakley before and she liked them .. plus when you get your child fitted for frames take his helmet with him . find a pair that feels right , you dont want to go to race or a day of rideing , they start hurting or pinching the side of your childs head

smith does a great job with r/x and aren`t too pricey either.

my son is 11 and has worn glasses under his goggles for 3 years he loves the oakley o frames youth size they have a soft noise pc and his glasses are flex frames which he said was even better now ... just my 2 cents... hope this helps.. oh yes and he has fliped his quad and never had any problems ..not saying it will never happen..

My son loves Oakley o frames. Remember to take helmet and goggles when you get new glasses Robbie now has 2 pair of glasses because his new set would not fit in the helmet.
