Original Compact 8x21 Kids Binoculars Set - High Resolution Real Optics - Shock Proof - Bird Watching - Presents for Kids - Children Gifts - Boys and Girls - Outdoor Play - Hunting - Camping

Let me preface this review by saying that I often tell my husband that our family of 6 busy kids (ages 2-13 years) should be testers for new products that come out; if there is a flaw in the design, our kids will surely find it, or, due to simple frequency of use, the flaws will become evident quickly. We were so excited to get these binoculars! However, after many excited hands were grabbing the binoculars to try them out, they fell to the floor and broke. (*me, exasperated and tired*: "Can't we have ANYTHING nice?!") These are supposed to be shock proof, right? Leave it to my kids to break it....When Sarah, the owner of Kidwinz, sent a follow-up email to check on the purchase, I thought I should write and let her know what happened. She responded within a day, apologized profusely, and said that perhaps the binoculars we got were damaged at the warehouse. She assured me they were drop tested and this rarely happens, and she offered to send us another pair free of charge. I thanked her, gave her my address, and within a couple of days a new pair of binoculars arrived.This new set works fantastic. We are more careful when we share them with each other now. They are the perfect size for small hands and faces (they are for ages 3+). We love the color and the feel of them. The knob to adjust the focus is easy to turn. And they actually work well for kid binoculars, unlike some cheap ones you find other places. There is a little case that they come with and a strap to attach (so as to keep them from falling!) as well as a cleaning cloth to keep the lenses smudge free. We have had some exciting views of turkey vultures (they are so weird looking!) and neighbors' yards (prompting discussions about privacy!) We are looking forward to taking them on some nature walks and hikes.This company (Kidwinz) has been great to work with, and their mission to help kids get outdoors and explore is something we as a family are proud to support. If you are looking for a great set of kid binoculars, I highly recommend these.

I purchased 15 pairs of these for use in an elementary school nature exploration program, so my experience with them is extensive.Overall, these binoculars do a great job for kids...ESPECIALLY for the younger kids (6 to 7) who need the close eye spacing and easy focusing these binoculars allow. These binoculars have also proven quite durable in the face of accidental drops and less than gentle handling,One tip for using these with younger kids is that they rarely recognize (or say anything) when one eye is out of focus while the other is clear. I is common for one if our eyes to be slightly different than the other, so these binoculars come with a diopter adjustment (the right ocular can be adjusted to correct for that difference). The trouble is that small hands just live to turn dials mindlessly simply because they can! So it’s important to check your child’s binoculars occasionally and reset the adjustment to neutral (so that the focus is even). To do this (because these are too small for most adults), look through the left eyepiece with one eye and use the focusing knob to set your focus on a nearby object. Next, look through the right eyepiece with the same eye and adjust the DIOPTER (by twisting the eyepiece, NOT the focusing knob) to focys the image on the same object as before. This will get the two sides to focus evenly and will make using them MUCH more fun for your child.All that being said, these are a terrific product for kids and a good company to deal with!

I bought these for my 3 and 5 yo boys for a family hike. The boys are in love. The binoculars are a cinch to operate, provide impressive magnification, are comfortable and are durable. This product made my boys feel like detectives looking for birds or beaver dams or goslings. The binoculars included a case, which makes the boys feel like their binoculars are a special tool, a string so that the binoculars go around their neck and are in easy reach, and a little cloth for cleaning the lenses (again, the "special" factor.) They are easy to use, perfect size for smaller hands and have a rather powerful magnification. They also seem rather rugged, which is perfect for my small boys. I'm glad we bought two, as it would have been a a lot of squabbling if we only had one. We're hoping for several years of enjoyment.

Shipping was very quick! I love the compact size of the binoculars. I bought them for my soon-to-be three year-old son. His birthday is in a few days, so I opened them ahead of time to make sure everything is working well. Packaged well in a sturdy box and nice, canvas case, the binoculars worked great. They exceeded my expectations for clarity, weight, and durable feel. Sarah at Kidwins contacted me via email with a pdf of helpful tips and visuals. It was great. Thanks, Sarah! My son will be toting these up mountains and through parks all year long.

These are great little binoculars, specially designed for kids. They actually work as well as adult binoculars, but in a much smaller size to fit kids hands and eyes. And they are heavily rubber coated to prevent damage. I had bought my grandson (3) a pair of binoculars at the zoo for $10, and he absolutely loved them, but within 3 days they were broken. So I looked for a better replacement, and for the price of two cheapo pairs, I got this durable, well designed, visually accurate pair. In addition to the great binoculars, you also get a little carry bag that can fit on a belt, and a lens cleaning cloth. It's an amazing deal. I was very happy, and so was my grandson - he carries them everywhere!

Easy to use auto focus, lightweight. Good quality all around for a child.Strap could be thicker-it is more like a string A must watch with young children.

Bonne valeur pour le prix.Construction solide ajustement adéquat,bonne défénition.

Good product for the price. My Grandkids liked them.
