Probably the wrong thread for this question, you might want to put it in Equipment Reviews/Questions

Bonnagg, aged 6? Make sure they are reasonably priced, goggles are probably second only to gloves in their ability to get lost on a ski trip, and kids faces will grow out of a pair of goggles fairly quickly I suspect. Yellow, orange, red, purple doesn't make a vast difference unless the light is fairly flat - personally I would go for a red/orange lens as a reasonable allrounder.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Aldi/Lidl will have their ski kit soon, cheap enough to get a spare pair or two as from experience I can assure you a typical 6 year old is remarkably efficient at destroying or loosing them! Yellow tint is good in flat dull light and good to have but not much good if you have bright sunny days, can't remember the tint in my kids Aldi goggles but they've happily used them in all conditions .
Failing that try Decathlon or TK Maxx.

Mistress Panda,
The goggles get clipped to their helmets. They're a bit more difficult to lose than gloves

Bonnagg,
My two love their helmets and goggles and take pretty good care of them. As davkt says, yellow is good for bad light, so probably OK for a Christmas trip. If you are going at Easter you will need something a bit better suited to the bright sunlight (perhaps nice shiny mirrored ones). I think I got my kids theirs at Lidl.
