My 10 year-old grandson is autistic and he absolutely loves the binoculars!! It keeps him grounded and focused. He thoroughly enjoys sitting in a high place and seeing the world through them. His parents gave him a hammock for his birthday so now he relaxes in that and gazes all over with his new binoculars. He could easily spend the whole morning or afternoon doing that if his parents would allow it. Since he is young, and apt to leave them outside, it is an added bonus that they are waterproof.

Just a warning -- the cord does not come off, although it is possible to unhook it (making 2 long cords instead of one big loop), so it's not great as far as choking hazards go. It does adjust suitably for eye span. I have to set the focus all the way to one side to make it work, but maybe that's just my eyesight.

Due to the fairly good reviews and good price, I purchased a class set (science teacher.) Viewing area is very small, but expected for the price. Binoculars are all hard plastic which seems brittle. Even a short drop could be devastating. Not quite as child-friendly and durable as I had hoped. The most major concern is the focus dial, which appears to do very little. When it does move, it clicks and the focus jumps slightly. You're in luck if the distance between the lenses happens to match your vision needs at any setting. Returning them all.
