Don’t let the reviews stop you!

I was skeptical with this purchase due to the reviews. But when I checked out other binoculars for kids they had similar reviews too.I ultimately ended up purchasing the blue (true to color pictured) and have been pleasantly surprised.I was shocked at how close you had to be in order to actually see through the correct end. Maybe that’s simply because I’m use to high end binoculars and microscopes. I’m also wondering if people are using these backwards lol.I had no problem adjusting them to…

Pros
  • ‎170 Grams
Cons
  • Could be easily stolen or misplaced

Very blurry for my opinion

These binoculars look awesome, which is why I gave them 2 stars. Very sturdy and bright colors and look like adult ones that I thought my boys would be so excited about. But if you’re looking for binoculars for your littles that actually function, don’t buy these. They are extremely blurry. I got 2 and both of them were the same, so it wasn’t a defect. I tried using the focusing knob and adjusting them, but no better. I would not recommend these and will be returning.

Pros
  • I’m sure my grandson will love these.
Cons
  • Could encourage a focus on material possessions

Durable and surprisingly effective

I bought these binoculars for my 2 year old twins. My daughter seems to really enjoy them even if she really doesn't quite know what she's doing yet. She keeps flipping them around so she can see a wide view. which I remember doing as a kid. When I first set them up I was actually surprised how far you can see with these things and how easy they were to set up. The focus ring on top focuses both viewfinders, but the right one still has to be fine-tuned by turning the viewfinder left or right…

Pros
  • It’s a very sturdy gift considering My Granddaughter is Three
Cons
  • May be difficult to repair or replace parts

Great value and not just good for kids

We got these for my 2.5 year old to be able to take out hiking, and to see the horses across the field from our home. These little binoculars are an amazing value. And they aren’t just for kids. They adjust and fit my face wonderfully which comes in handy when I help my toddler focus in on what she’s trying to view. I tried to take a picture with my phone through the lens, and while you can see in the photo how well these work, my photo doesn’t quite do these binoculars justice. The…

Pros
  • It was extremely easy to use
Cons
  • May be too fragile for intensive play

Surprisingly great optics for an affordable price!

I purchased these for my 1st grader to use in our nature walks as part of our home school science curriculum. These are great binoculars for an introduction to birding, and have surprisingly good optics for the price. They are almost as good as my much more expensive binoculars, and are definitely more lightweight and comfortable to wear on walks. I actually ordered another pair for myself and one for my toddler to use too. They also come in multiple fun colors, which is a bonus for kids (and…

Pros
  • My 6 year old son thinks these are the coolest binoculars, made just for his size 😊
Cons
  • May not be waterproof or weather-resistant

These are quality built binoculars!

I was very impressed by the Obuby "Kids binoculars. They have a quality focus mechanism that adjusts both barrels, and, easily adjusts and holds at the right spacing for your eyes. There is also an additional diopter focus for the right lens barrel, which I've never realized I had an option to set! There's a belt stye carrying case, and nice velour drawstring bag for carrying as well, and even a micro fiber lens cloth to remove the inevitable fingerprints. And the binoculars have a smooth…

Pros
  • ‎4.02 x 3.54 x 1.18 inches
Cons
  • Could encourage competitive behavior between children

Little gems! for my opinion

I bought these as a Christmas gift for my 3 year old nephew. Upon opening them I was immediately happy to see that they were the exact color as pictured. I was not expecting much from a $20 pair of binoculars but I wasn’t super concerned since they were going to a 3 year old. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that these little things actually work great! They are clear as a bell and fit in to your hand perfectly. They are the perfect size for little hands or to carry in your glove…

Pros
  • Great Christmas gift for a 4 year old
Cons
  • Small objects may be a choking hazard

Each Grandkid Gets Their Own Set of Binoculars

We Montanans are the outdoorsy type. This spring my son and his two boys joined Grandpa in the Montana mountains for some "shed hunting". Basically it is long hike in the woods attempting to find elk and deer antlers that are shed each spring by the herds on public lands. We use a set of binoculars to scope meadows and hillsides looking for the antlers. My grandsons (7 and 5) were constantly begging for a turn to use the full sized binoculars that we took on these trips. So, for their birthdays

Pros
  • ‎1
Cons
  • Could be dangerous if not used responsibly

Something is in the binocular

We found that something which is a small black thing is in the body of the binocular so that we can see it through the lens. Dissapointing product.

Pros
  • ☆Crystal Clear View: Superb high-resolution maginifcation of 8X with the 7.2°viewing angle, your child can see the entire visual wide field for capturing objects easily. The BAK 4 FMC prism green multi-layer broadband coated can control optical reflection to create crisp and colorful images.
Cons
  • May detract from imaginative and creative play

Great/Unique Gift for an Adventuresome Child

This purple set of binoculars is the second one I have purchased. This one was for the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Outreach in which my church participates. The first one (in orange) was purchased a couple months ago as a birthday gift for my 5 year old grandson who lives out of state. He loved it! And his 7 year old brother was instantaneously envious as soon as it was opened. Badly wanted his younger brother to share it with him. They both quickly went outdoors to try them out. The 5…

Pros
  • My 3 year old
Cons
  • Could be a distraction while in school or during other important activities

Crisp view on my review.

I focused for my grandchildren magnification is great. My 5 yr old can see great. My 4 yr old doesn't quite get it but he will grow into them. Can get something for one and not the otherMy only complaint is one of the straps broke in about a week

Pros
  • ☆Shock Proof: Soft rubber surrounded provides better protection of the lens during falls. Durable polycarbonate plastic and rubber armored exterior can withstand absorbs shock when drops or falls on floors.
Cons
  • May require purchasing additional accessories for proper use

We love them! on my review.

My 3 year old loves to pretend to be an explorer and I’m happy to nurture his imagination and have him be a kid and play as I did growing up. When mama is too tired and needs to keep him entertained during this quarantine I take him in the back yard and he finds random stuff to look at. He likes to watch the ants marching, bees on the flowers, birds in the trees or we play pretend with them. These binoculars exceeded my expectations! The images are so clear and crisp. this is just what I wanted

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoor Play
Cons
  • May not be appropriate for all age ranges within the specified range

Happy with my purchase!

I bought these to gift to my 3 year old son for Christmas. After looking at many this seemed to have the best reviews and I am glad I bought these. He has not seen them yet but I took them out to test while he was napping. I have to say I am pretty impressed. They feel the same as my higher end adult binoculars and you can see pretty far with them. I was worried they would be to kidish and not have a good range but they do. We frequently get deer in the field behind our house so I am very…

Pros
  • Clear and durable binoculars rubber coated and shock resistant.
Cons
  • May not come with a carrying case or strap

Great for hiking with kids

Gave three of these to my kids and their friend right before a hiking trip. They LOVED them! The colors are great and bright (which makes it easy to find if they drop or get lost), they were able to see very clearly from both ends and they didn’t get bent or broken even after being dropped on rocks and the ground multiple times. The only issue we had was that the neck string broke on all three by the end of the trip, so we had to rig them in order for them to continue carrying around their…

Pros
  • With a wide range of applications, the Obuby Real Binoculars can be used for educational purposes, such as observing wildlife or stargazing, as well as for fun and exploration
Cons
  • Could detract from other important learning or social activities

Perfect for young hands

My 8 yr old grandson is into anything army related, so I can't wait to see his reaction to these cammo binoculars. I'm sure he will have so much fun with them. They seem very sturdy and will withstand all his future playtime activities.

Pros
  • ‎XA1021
Cons
  • May be expensive to repair or replace if broken

This is a Christmas gift for a 6 and 8 year old and when I received them they were so much smaller than I thought they would be. However they are very durable and the quality was very good.

Pros
  • She no longer grabs her fathers as the color, size and performance are better suited for her.
Cons
  • Could be too heavy for smaller children to hold for extended periods of time

Worth the money good for me

I bought these binoculars for my daughter and she loves them. It is a nice bright shade of blue. Although it was a little difficult to adjust the magnification initially, once she got the hang of it, she was very excited about using the binocs. It is compact, making it easy for her to pack them in her backpack, when we took her hiking. We live in this little mountain city in East Tennessee and this gives her plenty of opportunities to use her binoculars to explore the outdoors. She has been…

Pros
  • ‎Binocular, velvet bag, case, cleaning cloth, instruction
Cons
  • May not work well in certain environments or terrains

Good quality and the kids love them. I ordered a pair for my 3 yr old nephew and since the quality was so good, I ordered a pair for my 5 yr old nephew. They loved them.

Pros
  • ‎Unisex-child
Cons
  • Could contribute to environmental damage if used irresponsibly

Pros

Cons
  • Binoculars may be too advanced for younger children

Great first binoculars for kids under 10

Bought this for our great-grand daughters (4 & 6) for Christmas. The box is small but don’t let the small size fool you. They appear to be a great first pair of binoculars for children. I am tempted to get me a pair to keep in the car. The binoculars fold in to the center for compact storage. The color is as shown. We bought a pink and purple pair. The optics are decent, especially for children. The field of vision is narrower than I am accustomed to but it is as stated. I was able to focus in…

Pros
  • The compact size of these binoculars makes them easy to carry around, perfect for bird watching or camping trips with the family
Cons
  • May contribute to a sense of inequity or exclusion among children
