National Geographic 6x21 Child Binocular

A great pair of binoculars, excellent magnification and great clarity. They are compact, easy for a child to hold and not too heavy.

I bought these binoculars for my six year old granddaughter and she loved them. The magnification is x6 and the image is very sharp. It is sturdy, so suitable for a child, but an adult would also like them. They are compact and have a carry strap.

At this price point you get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful, but nevertheless of acceptable quality and for a youngster these seem to be a very good starting point. Once he is a little older and more competent - and uses binoculars more regularly - then I will move him onto a proper set. Nothing wrong with these as a starter set. Optical quality is good and adjustments fairly simple. Only knocked one star for pretty poor eye relief as the rubber rings could be better quality and deeper.

My 4 year old granddaughter loves these binoculars, insists on taking them everywhere, in the car, on the train....Very sturdy and just the right size for small faces.I would only advise to buy a strap to wear them round the neck because it's better for young children than the short wrist strap provided.

Unless another one we purchase (which didn't work at all) this is Perfect! Functions properly, easy to use and seems to be sturdy! Spend a bit more money on a quality product like this and you can't go wrong! It's worth every penny

Bought this for a seven year old birdwatcher. Ideal in all respects.

Good make (Bresser) and look well made with a proper lens (not just a toy). Good value. Only small disappointment is it comes with just a wrist strap not a neck strap, which is not ideal for adult or child

Bought as a gift for a child, the binoculars are quite well built and feel pretty solid for the price. Optically, it seems clear enough and gives fairly sharp image, the 6x magnification is just about right for a small child to handhold without too much noticeable hand shaking when looking through the eyepiece. There is also a useful dioptre adjustment control on the right eyepiece. It is light enough for a 5 year old to carry around and there are 2 lug holes for a neck strap to go in but no neck strap is included (I assume for safety reasons as it is designed for children).Overall, very good for the price, HOWEVER, the reason for only 3 stars is that the binoculars I received absolutely reek of mothballs!! I mean a very strong pungent odour that permeates from the binoculars and the nylon carry pouch. No matter how much I washed and cleaned them, I still cannot get rid of the odour. I write this after a week of letting it sit out in the open in the hope of the smell dissipating but no joy. I have even resorted to Febreze on the carry pouch but the smell is still there. The eyepieces in particular smell very strongly of mothballs. It was the first thing the child who received it mentioned when they looked through it and as it is being held close to their nose, there's no getting away from it! It's a real shame because the actual product is quite good, only for the terrible odour to let it down to the point where the child is reluctant to use it at all now and has somewhat ruined the experience. I considered returning it to Amazon but as it was ordered directly from Amazon in the first place, I'm guessing the others will probably be the same. It was obviously shipped from the far east where the binoculars must have been stuffed full of mothballs. If you are lucky enough to get a pair without the odour, I would definitely recommend them for the price but it's just a bit disappointing.
