Other Looking for durable budget binoculars

My three-year-old started asking about binoculars for covid birdwatching. Naturally, I want something cheap that she can throw. I don't want to get her toy binoculars which aren't that cheap and don't work. These are mainly going to be used to look at birds in our neighbour's trees.

A quick search suggests kids binoculars are £15-20. DMbaby Girls Toys for 3-12 Year Old this one has amazing marketing slogans like "real Binoculars for kids" but fails to mention magnification.



These are the same price and probably just as durable: DFlamepower mini 30x60

I got something similar to those last year. They're very good. I could see really well through them.

 

I was looking at those as well, small and in budget.

 

Take it from an ex career optical/photographic retailer - the distance sh!t they put on binoculars is literally that... SH!T. NO optical system can "extend how far you can see"; you can see it or you can't... binoculars just make it easier: simplez.

All you need to know about binoculars is the magnification & the objective lens diameter.
Example: 8x30 - 8x mag.; 30mm objective lens.
For any given magnification, a larger objective lens means a brighter view &/or more hours in the day that you can use them.
Compact bin's will (typically) have a max. of 25mm objective.

EDIT:

These are 8x21, despite what it says on them.

 

Maybe keep an eye on ebay for some nice 'proper' binos going for a song? I've seen some Carl-Zeiss jobbies with heavy case wear but working optics go for peanuts.

 

2 ½ months after asking the question, I suspect the OP has new binoculars sorted...

 

You never know, some of us love to procrastinate.

 

Procrastination is my skill
It brings me nought but sorrow
I really have to stop it now
In fact, I will.... tomorrow

 

I don't really like to procrastinate but, it just comes so naturally and, I'm never good at making quick decisions.

 

But there aren't any electronics in those binoculars! Surely 3 is old enough for a DSLR and a 70-300?

 

There are so many binoculars available in the online market. Amazon would be the best marketplace where you can search for your desired binoculars. Also you can search for several online reviews, check them and then decide which to buy.
