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: 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? Colourful, lightweight and durable, these all-in-one binoculars are perfectly sized for young explorers The bright colours and functional nature of our GeoSafari Jr products encourage children to get outside and explore the world around them.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. In conclusion, just like a new pair of school shoes, this is a binocular that slightly older children can grow into, rather than grow out of. So any additional spend over toy-like alternatives may well be worth it in the longer term. 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.

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 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.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. 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

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. The best binoculars for kids aren't just toys — they're also potential tools for your child's personal growth. Here are a few factors to consider before introducing your children to the wonderful world of wilderness watching. Budget

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! 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. 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)

First Part

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. 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. 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 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.
