Optics for kiddos starting out

[CraigK]

I’m looking into buying some binos for my kids to use to teach them how to glass from a tripod. I’m more worried about eye cups coming close enough together for them to see out of both eyes easily. 
 

Any suggestions or thoughts?
 

Thanks,

Kurt

Vortex for the warranty. How old are they

I was thinking about Vortex. I imagine they will get dropped from time to time, so the warranty might come in handy. Ages are 7 & 10.

Never looked in to kids sizes but see if you can find a harness for them so they're not getting dropped and more comfortable than a neck strap so they'll actually wear it

Great idea! I think marsupial makes a youth harness.

Vortex diamondback are great for kids, not too pricey but also good "enough". Bit if the budget suits you get them vipers which are slightly better.

not inclosed harness system  but my boy has used the heck out of his and works great. Plus cheap on the pocketbook.

The 12+42 pure are nice glass

Vortex Diamondbacks

I personally use a set of Gen1 Vortex Diamondback 8x42s on my chest for general purpose glassing, and keep a set of 15s in my pack for the distance and glassing sessions.

Go big or go home, BTX 115's, teach them to be gansta from the get go.

The original Bushnell Legends were incredible glass for the $$.  They made 10x42 and 12x50, both tripod adaptable.  

Can’t speak to current models, I’m talking about the ones from 10+ years ago, Like this- https://www.ebay.com/itm/125537707984?hash=item1d3aa167d0:g:aAoAAOSwQs5i2GqZ&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4A%2B6tU5QfLPeffplNWizETi0ZYYsBQ8D8eYHDrWwtYzFZ5AXIJ4Ft1KFkkb3Y9DSfYchhO5gj773%2BX%2FTQJl27Q4DKCimkwjGtFr5a22euwvAWVbB%2FSONOvQeqrDOEJqTtBT%2FZMfvcr%2BJaMtmO87%2FYE41WWDRRTHVHBAYa8F6NOr%2BD3rCt9rKMWEtBVJrgycMG6AUr5KTmNuKA9Uud6IbLXxD%2BezfXRQTxnp%2F6mLexiyp3e8Yfd3Inle%2BXaT45ofPPrzSTSUiNw5jQCU7eeHTSNyk2uW4J6th0tgsY3V7aRed|tkp%3ABFBMtNvZ4f1g
