Carson Hawk Kids 30mm Beginner Field Binoculars (HU-530)

My 5 year old wanted this for Christmas so he could "look at birds". I figured "why not, they aren't that expensive". He loved them and played with them quite a bit. He loved how big they made things that were close by and how things far away seemed closer. I like that they are of good quality, a couple of the adults commented that they were as clear as the binoculars they paid a lot more money for. It comes with a lens wipe and a carry case. I really thought this was a great deal and seems to be of a higher quality than some kids binoculars. I would recommend this to anyone. I had no problems with the sellers and the product arrived on time and in great condition.

I got one of these for my kids to share when we go to the park. We are also learning about birding and these have helped us spot birds from far away. These binoculars aren't top of the line, but they do a decent job of helping us see birds from a distance. My kids all want one for their own now! They fight over this one. It works with younger kids as well as adults. My 4 year old can use them. It's pretty simple to use. This has helped my kids become real nature lovers. If we go to the park, we always grab these too. I think the price was a good one for these as well. Great product and helpful in teaching about birds.

I read through the reviews before buying the product and went ahead and bought it in the hopes that I wouldn't have any problems. When I opened the packet to inspect it immediately the right lens was wobbly and the rubber cover came off when I tugged at it which in turn allowed the lens to come off completely. I was going to send it back and order another one but it wouldn't have arrived in time for my daughter's birthday. Instead I just got the super glue out and glued both the lens and the rubber cover back on. Works fine. Looking back, I'm glad the lens was wobbly at the beginning. This way I was able to fix it good. If it had been fine perhaps the lens would have fallen out and gotten lost a week later and we would have just thrown them away. Now I'm just second guessing whether I should have pulled apart the left side and super glued that before anything went wrong. For $12 and a little super glue I am very happy with the purchase.As for the quality, I can definitely see the magnification and I'm sure my daughter will enjoy the product...birthday tomorrow.

Perfect! Good quality and easy to use. I enjoy it as well as my 8 yr. Old son.

I bought these for my grandson when he was four for our birdwatching. The fact that they didn't look like a toy was a plus but they are not strong enough to be really useful. I didn't want to give a very young child an expensive pair that he may drop or knock around but at the same time, if they are not effective, he may not understand the value of binoculars. He is six now and I may upgrade this summer. Maybe starting with these gave him a sense of purpose and he will be able to appreciate the better quality. You know what I mean?

Bought for 5-yo twin grandsons to scope the field behind their treehouse. I wanted better optics and potentially longer usefulness than a plastic toy, so I was thrilled to find these, with recommendations on a junior birding site, at Amazon while Christmas shopping. With parental supervision, I expect these binocs to grow with the boys for many years. Excellent clarity and distance, right size for small faces and hands (including mine), good lens adjustability, plus they do appear to be built tough enough for young kids (again, with some supervision until they learn to respect delicate optics).

I bought these for my nephew for his 4th birthday. He was using his dad’s heavy professional binoculars as well as mine as kids are naturally curious about things and want to see up close. These are very light weight, and have a rubber coating so no worries if it falls off a table or on the ground. He enjoys them and his dad likes that he doesn't have to breathe down his neck worrying about his professional binoculars.

I purchased this for a 4 year old interested in binoculars, hoping they would be durable and at least of useable optical quality. They were neither. The eye lenses are each a single tiny lens that are just held in place by the rubber cover. Both quickly came loose on their own. The Amazon website falsely claims in a couple of places that these are roof prism binoculars. When I was trying to fix the loose eye lenses I had a look inside and there are no prisms of any type. It is a simple galilean optical system. The field of view is tiny and the optical quality is poor, with a very obvious shaded ring in the field. Save your money.Update:I responded to Carson Optical after seeing their comment. They sent some Mini Scout 7x18 binoculars with no hassle. They are decent quality for the price range and more expensive than these. They removed the claim about having prisms. Good marks for their customer service. Still, stay away from this model as it is poorly designed and likely to fall apart very quickly.
