Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought these binoculars for my sons 4th birthday. Doing a little research for kids you want a lower power. 3x - 5x magnification. As wide a view as possible. These fit this criteria perfect. Seemed better than a toy but still kid sized. First they are not a 5X magification. I have a theater pair thats 3X thats stronger then these. My main dis-appointment was they're not lined up proper. You see 2 images. Seeing double is not a great way to view anything. Tonight we were looking at something and I have my small pair of celestron 10X. He asked to look through them. He says WOW. His next works was "Daddy, want to trade?" He just turned 4 and knows his wasn't as good. I'm going to try to find a small 7X celestron for a decent price and trade them with him. If I can't find a weaker pair I'll just trade my 10X. Celestron up-close 10x25 is almost the exact same size and actually work. I own a couple different celestron and they're all great. You may have to double your money to get these but its better than double vision. ~~~~~~~~ OK, i bought Celestron UpClose G2 8x21 Roof Binocular 71230 from Amazon. These are great and were aprox $20. Well worth the extra. I took my son back out on from porch. We were watching farmer on tractor in field across the street. Thats when I offered him a trade. He quickly accepted. The Celestron model 71230 are 8X magification. A nice wide view which is great for kids. Makes it easier for them to find what thier looking at & makes image more steady. He likes them. I tied a knot in the neck strap to shorten it to his size. Buy the Celestron for your kid, not the Carson TOY.
