Product Description

Editorial Review

These Spy Vision Goggles set the stage for exciting adventure as children explore the mysteries of the dark. Strap on the Velcro-adjustable headband, flip the impact-resistant plastic green lenses over the eyes, and switch the control to the "on" position. With a little imagination, these battery-powered goggles--with mini-flashlights flanking the lenses--become real "see in the dark" glasses that allow children to explore caves, tunnels, or even just the back of that scary closet! Flip lenses up onto the forehead to turn off the lights; flip them back down over the eyes and the lights come on again. This is a great toy for the imaginary spy, detective, miner, or spelunker. The lightweight, comfortable goggles require two AA batteries and clean up easily with a damp cloth. --Kathryn Gustafson

We bought 2 of these wonders a few months ago only to return them a few days later. To sum it up - it was the worst purchase we've ever made at Amazon.com, and we buy a lot.

First of all, the title and the item description tend to give the impression that you are about to buy some kind of infra-red vision gadget - you're not. All you get is a red plastic visor with 2 little lightbulbs. In fact, you see better at night without the goggles than with that green plastic covering your face. Our older child's vision was in fact impaired to the degree that he actually hit a tree while having this on - he's okay but we did have a little scare at the time.

Oh, and one other thing - it's quite difficult for children to keep the visor on their face. Ours kept falling.

I gave it 1 star for durability not because it broke while in use but because I would have personally destroyed it if Amazon wasn't so gracious to take it back.

2.0 out of 5 stars Night Vision Goggles, November 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spy Vision Goggles (Toy)

Yes,after the initial,it's not really night vision and justflashlights. You say ok that is probably why they are so inexpensive. Fun for the kids but they don't stay on the head and my child complains that the battery pack is painful. Also,we have gone through so many batteries that I have banned the toy. It has an on/off switch but when you flip the shades up the light go out so... and they slip back down therefore turning the lights back on and DEAD batteries AGAIN. Good fun but in the long run end up costing more than the original price, with all the batteries,you know.

I bought 2 of these, one for each of my children. They are a joke. They aren't night vision goggles, they just have little flashlight bulbs to light the way when they walk. And they don't stay on their heads. My kids are 6 and 8 and they didn't like them at all and have never used them since the first time they tried them.
