Promising review: “I bought a pair of these about a year and a half ago for my daughter, who was not quite two then. Now, at almost three and a half, she loves these binoculars! And so does her little brother, who is almost two.
In fact, they fight over them, so I logged on to get another pair for him. They both understand how to use them and love to say what they see when they look through them. We have not been the least bit careful with the binoculars — bringing them onto the beach, leaving them outside on the patio pretty much all the time, dropping them, etc. They’re definitely dirty-looking and a little scratched on the plastic, but other than that, they are in great condition. No condensation or cracks on the lenses and no other damage.
I like how there’s just a little magnification without any adjustment necessary. It’s a great first set of binoculars for teaching the concept to young kids. As some other people have noted, the string might concern some. Even though it has the breakaway design, I wasn’t comfortable keeping it on, especially since I bought it when my daughter was younger than the recommended age. But I just untied the string and kept it in a safe place in case we want to use it later when she’s older. I don’t really think it’s necessary for a younger child anyway. Overall, I think these binoculars are great, and I highly recommend them.” —amoreviaggi
