Product Information

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. One reason to spring for smaller binoculars has to do with interpupillary distance: the measurement between the center of your pupils. If the ocular lenses don't line up properly with the middle of your eyeballs, the end result is a dark halo around the image (and partially obscured scenery). Your youngster will get bored fast if they can't see anything through the eyepiece, so make sure the binoculars can be adjusted accordingly. Field of view (FOV) Enable your little one’s sense of exploration and encourage a deeper appreciation for the world around them. BrightMinds’ great range of binoculars will feel just like the real thing (and look even better with their appealing designs!). We took our Kidnoculars to the zoo with us, and it was so lovely to see Alexa get excited about the fact she can use these to see the different animals that were hiding in the distance. A fun game to play with these is to print off pictures of different wildlife that you might see, and get your child to see if they can spot them while you’re out and about.

The Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 binoculars have some premium features for their price point and while they're at the slightly more expensive end for kids binoculars they offer fantastic value if you're sharing them amongst the family. 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 These are the educational benefits you can expect to see in your little one from a pair of binoculars: The single-piece design also means there are no choking hazards for the little explorers among you. While younger toddlers may not yet have the fine motor skills needed to get the most out of them, they’re still a great gift for older toddlers (3-4) and up. Unlike adult binoculars, kids binoculars also have fewer bits and pieces that might cause them confusion; instead, they’re made up of one sturdy piece for total ease of use.

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. 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 The Olympus 8x25 WP II binoculars are an ultra-portable model from a well-respected optics and camera manufacturer known for its high-quality, excellent-value instruments. The bright colours and functional nature of our GeoSafari Jr products encourage children to get outside and explore the world around them.

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. These visual devices can be simultaneously educational and fun, encouraging an interest in science, nature and sports, and both stimulating little brains and staving off boredom during family hiking trips or when traveling. For this reason, binoculars can make great gifts for kids, and there are specific models available for specific ages – from toddlers to teenagers, and beyond. Binoculars made specifically for children have features that make them perfect for their needs. The eyecups are spaced closer together to fit their little faces, and they’re made with lighter materials to be easier to handle. 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! This example is very affordably priced too, making it an ideal gift. Despite the so-so magnification, the objective lens size is a bright and eye-popping at 50mm. While there are no moving parts, adult supervision is always recommended at this age. We’re also applying bonus points for coming up with the term ‘kidnoculars’.Learning about the natural world – plant and animal life becomes so much more appealing when it’s ‘under the microscope’, so to speak! Enrich your little one’s knowledge and spark their desire for further learning. 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. 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. Kidnoculars are focus-free. There's no need to fuss with knobs to eliminate blurriness. The view is clear!

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. Kids both big and small will be thrilled to use the Nikon Sportstar Zoom 8-24x25. As the name suggests this differs from fixed magnification binoculars in featuring a 25mm objective lens wedded to a 3x zoom, allowing for greater flexibility when watching sports. For example, using the same device we can be looking at the entire pitch one minute and zooming in on a particular player the next. 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. 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.

First Part

Colourful, lightweight and durable, these all-in-one binoculars are perfectly sized for young explorers These compact binos will fit comfortably in the palm of an adult hand in its entirety while weighing no more than a small plastic water bottle a child might have in their lunchbox. We were impressed with the image quality here too, which was better than we expected given the diminutive size. That’s no doubt down to the manufacturer choosing class-leading BaK-4 porro prisms in the construction as well as featuring fully multi-coated lenses to improve light transmission. Hear what you see, with Kidnoculars Extreme. Magnify your world with these awesome 3x no-focus binoculars and amplify the nature around you with a built-in microphone. Some binoculars are kid-friendly, but as Educational Insights implies with its branding, the GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars Extreme was actually made for kids with Science Technology Engineering and Math learning in mind.

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. Development of observational skills – boost your child’s perception of the world around them and encourage the growth of their analytical ability. Binoculars from BrightMinds have a host of great features built purely to suit little hands and faces without being overly complicated to use. Here are some of the benefits:If you have bought an item from us that proves to be faulty, please let us know as soon as the fault becomes apparent so we are able to help. 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.
