Product Information

Exercises their imaginations – many young kids have an explorer’s heart. Binoculars encourage their adventurous streak by giving them a taste of real-world adventure! The more magnification, the better, right? Not so fast. For small, fidgety humans with shaky hands, overly powerful optics might actually be counterproductive. When it comes to young explorers, here's a rule of thumb: The younger the child, the lower the magnification. Magnifications between 2X and 8X are the most common recommendation for kids under the age of 10. Size and shape Live Science tests a huge and diverse range of products, from Legos to binoculars, and from exercise bikes to dehumidifiers. Depending on just what we're reviewing, a product will be subjected to an array of different tests relevant to its purpose and use. This may include in-lab benchmarks, extensive use in our test centers or thorough road-testing in real-world conditions. If you're looking to invest in a top-notch pair of kids binoculars that will last them for the long haul then the Celestron Nature DX 8x32 might be just what you're after. An excellent premium choice for older kids with steadier hands these binoculars are better suited to those who are happy with a wider field of view (the amount you can see through the binos), especially if you already have a semi-seasoned bird-watcher in the family. Age aside, just as when choosing binoculars for ourselves as adults, we’ll need to ask if there are particular pursuits we are buying these kids’ binoculars for. Stargazing, sports, bird and wildlife watching are engaging subjects whatever our age, and there are models that better fulfill these requirements than others. Or are we simply looking for an inexpensive everyday pair for free-time fun, that won’t break little hearts, or our wallets, if they inadvertently get trashed?

Overall image quality is a little softer than we’d have expected given the objective lens size, especially when light levels fall, and focus doesn’t completely maintain its sharpness into the corners of the frame. Still, for the price being asked this is a more than acceptable starter model that should maintain the interest of older children and won’t weigh heavy on their parents’ wallets if it doesn’t. What happens when the teachers and families of deaf children are given intensive support and training? When it comes to sunshine-soaked excursions with your kid, every walk in the woods is a potential learning experience — when you have the right educational tools on hand, that is. And if birdwatching is only a bullet point on your child's list of outdoor interests, binoculars are just the beginning. Turn hours of playtime into days of adventuring with the Explorer Kit for Kids. Easy to use, fuss-free, very portable and very reasonably priced, there’s not much as regards the Olympus 8x25 WP II that either we or our youngest would take issue with.

First Part

Good optical performance for a fair price – that’s the crux of these budget binoculars. 10x magnification coupled with a 42mm objective lens, meaning a marginally weightier build overall, does however suggest to us these would be more of a match with older children rather than the under tens.

Colourful, lightweight and durable, these all-in-one binoculars are perfectly sized for young explorers Your children will finally be able to see things from afar without any fuss or confusion with Geosafari Jr.'s amazing Kidnoculars! Finally, a pair of binoculars that are specifically designed for kids!

Customer reviews

We've rounded up, and tested, the very best binoculars for junior observers whether they're a little younger, or in their teens. But there are some inherent features that children's binos share, including smaller magnifications and narrower objective lenses due to their modest proportions. That means they're not especially suited to low light observing where larger openings let in more light to the eye. These are the educational benefits you can expect to see in your little one from a pair of binoculars:

A useful 7x magnification married to an even more impressive 50mm objective lens is the lure here for older children seeking a step up from basic starter binoculars, or perhaps something better equipped for low-light observation, including stargazing. Very reasonably priced given the overall specification, this durable aluminium construction porro prism device with rubberized grips is both lightweight and water resistant. An optional tripod adapter is available for those who want to spend even longer gazing at the heavens. Whatever the age of the child, the key features to look out for when it comes to binoculars still apply. As most of us will know, binoculars are classified by their magnification, followed by their (objective) lens size. For example: 8x21. If we’re seeking general-purpose binos, which most kids’ binos are, then up to an 8x or 10x magnification is fine. With a higher magnification, any handshake will be amplified and can make for a shaky image – unless there is the ability to mount them onto a tripod. But that’s not something younger kids are typically going to be doing without help from mum or dad.

We'll examine performance against the manufacturer's claims and test the accuracy of those claims to the very best of our ability, sourcing input from independent experts where needed. We will also evaluate a product on its ease of use, ergonomic success and performance relative to its competitors. Price will also be a factor with value for money affecting our overall evaluation and review rating. For parents interested in STEM-friendly education, this pair of binoculars is more than just a colorful toy; it's also an introduction to a scientific tool that can help your toddler explore the sights and sounds of their environment. Keep your kids curious with the GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars Extreme. How to choose the best binoculars for kids Simple layout and operation are ideal features for children's binoculars too, so young observers don't become frustrated. To use them in all weathers they should have rubber grips and rubberized protection around the lenses, and are preferably waterproof or even fogproof. Waterproof and encased in a rubberized armor these are also suitable for eyeglasses wearers thanks to the 17.5mm of eye relief which is more than enough to use whilst keeping spectacles on. The rubberized body will afford enough of a grip for smaller hands that they’ll be able to enjoy a judder-free view with it. We found the operation of the focus wheel to be slow and steady, which means greater precision when zeroing focus in on subjects.

Magnification is adjusted via a centrally located zoom lever, just in front of the eyepieces, so we literally don’t need to take our eyes off the ball. The device is relatively compact too and manageably lightweight, with multi-coated lenses and prisms maximizing light transmission and boosting clarity of vision. The only downside is that these zoom binoculars cost a bit more than a basic 8x21 pair, but being able to follow play from afar and get close in on the detail of any wildlife or sporting activity could well be worth it for budding sports professionals or nature lovers of the future. If no one answers the door when our courier attempts delivery they'll leave a card letting you know they've been and which of the following actions they've taken Binoculars from BrightMinds have a host of great features built purely to suit little hands and faces without being overly complicated to use.
