I'd like to get a decent set of Bins for my daughter. I believe mine are too wide for her to look through correctly. I have a Browning 8x32 and a Vortex Stokes 10x42.
Are there any *good* kid-specific binoculars out there? Or is there a particular model with a narrow interpupillary distance? There's plenty of cheap plastic crap in the toy and dept stores, but I'd like to get something decent.
Thanks.
The Leupold Yosemite is mentioned often as a quality pick for the youger set. The size
that I feel is best is the 6x30. They will fit a small face, as they adjust to fit. I have the
6x30, and I also had the 8x30, that I gave as a gift to my nephew. The 6x30 seems to
be better optically.
There is a new version of this out now since a few months ago. The older version is just
as good so, either one will work well.
Do a search under Leupold, you will find some posts.

I definitely agree with Jerry. There are similar products by Eagle Optics - Kingbird and Vortex - Raptor, which are very similar. My kids can use my Yosemite and Raptor with no problem. The focus gets stiff below freezing, but you are in South Carolina, so that is not as much of an issue.
