[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to toys that are for both adults and kids, Laid-Back Glasses feel like a fantastic invention. These glasses have mirrors in them, so that you can see what’s in your lap when you are laying down, without moving your head. Instead of seeing directly in front of you, you can just see down! Robin is the big reader in our household (though I can see how you could use these glasses to play on your phone!) so she was delighted to have a pair to play around with.

Laid-Back Glasses does restrict your view forward, so there isn’t a real way to wear them around. However, when you put them on laying down, you can easily see into your lap, allowing you to read books without the need to sit up. Robin said these worked very well, with her easily reading out her Dogman book as she laid on the couch. She absolutely loves silly yet functional things like this (and has a pair of glasses that let her see behind her) so was well up for wearing them.

They are a bit heavier than normal glasses would be, so that is something to get use to, due to the mirrors and extra plastic. Regardless of that, the Laid-Back Glasses don’t feel just like a kid’s toy. It feels like a functional gift that adults who like reading in bed would very much use! Reading before bed is something that Dann often does, and he found the glasses to be quite novel and work well too. It’s a neat idea, like something that feels obvious but I had never really thought about. Is it silly? Yes. Would I gift Laid-Black Glasses to the book lover in my life? Also yes.
