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.

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.

This toy was purchased for our 7 year old triplets (one per child) for their birthday. It's basically a pair of flashlights on a snazzy set of green goggles, and the kids are absolutely wild about them! The goggles fit securely, and comfortably, and the beams of light are easy to direct with the motion of the head. This toy keys into the imagination, and young adventurers are free to investigate the night unhampered by hand held flashlights.

It should be said that these are great fun for the kids but they are not true night vision goggles. These are more like light up scuba masks that work kind of like a miner's hat (hard hat with a flash light on top.) It is NOT an infrared sight. That doesn't matter to the kids though who love the things. My nephews like to play "explorer" with these in dark hallways and in the attic. Not only are they fun but they look cool to boot. This toy is highly recommeded.

They are not real night vision goggles. If they were they would be a lot more expensive and you wouldn't let the kids play with them. Besides isn't a little imagination a good thing?

I have a 6 year old nephew who I bought these for. He enjoyed playing with them for a while. He would "go exploring" in his room or run around in the basement at night with the goggles and the light off. He also really seemed to enjoy the flip down aspect of the goggles. The only downside to them was the amount of batteries I invested in when he played with them a lot.

Over all for the amount of enjoyment he got out of it compared to it's price I think it was worth it.

Although these are not "real" night vision goggles, my 2 boys ages 4 and 6 thought they were great fun for dress up. They thought it was cool to flip down the goggles and have the lights go on. We've never really played with them in the dark outside though - just in their room. I was surprised at how well constructed they were for such an inexpensive price. They're not flimsy. However, the battery pack is too heavy and makes it hard to keep the goggles on, especially for my littlest one.

I bought two of these - one for my 3 year old son and one for my 6 year old step-son. I can't believe how much they love these goggles! They can't wait until it gets dark so they can run around the yard searching for bugs and other creatures. Its hilarious watching them - I think my husband and I have as much fun as they do. They definitely keep everyone entertained.

My friend got a pair and I tried them in the bathroom and I was suprised at how bad they were! You can't really see in the dark it's just two lights! And it's really uncomfortable in the back,I would NOT recommend these to anyone.

For [the price] i hope no one expects to get real nightvision goggles.These are a toy and keeping that in mind they are a great purchase.They are a green shaded pair of goggles with a small flashlight on each side.Nothing secret about them,if your wearing them & they are on, you will be seen.But to the child & their imagination,they think they're invisible.So if you have a child who likes to play hide-n-seek,or sneek up on you,or play spy,cave digger,explorer,etc they will like these whether they are boy or girl.
