    Rugged but with low magnification
    The product is very rugged. It seems well-built and child-friendly. I feel like it will last my child quite a while. I loved how they made the viewing space extended so that it gives support on both sides of the child's head. This allows my son to more easily position and hold his eyes in the correct place while trying to view an object.I was disappointed that the telescoping power was so weak. It allowed me to see things more closely that were only about 20 feet away. If I could walk that far in just a few feet....then what is the point? I was hoping to be able to use it for bird watching. Also, the magnification was sharp but the image was tiny. I could only see about a 1/2 in. of the image, the rest of the space surrounding it was blurry. I would have to position my eyes exactly before, I was able to see this small image. I think this made it very hard for my child to see the object. This would work for an older child (9-13) or an extremely patient 7 year old but for my rambunctious 5 year old boy.....it was a no go.He does love taking it out and about on walks with him. It is a great toy to play dress-up scientist as he loves to hang it around his neck and the strap is quite sturdy.#educationalinsights#GeoSafariJr

    My son recently recieved this and has had so much fun playing and exploring! Today he pretended he was at the zoo looking at giraffes (and asked if we could really take them to the Zoo later this week) and went bird watching in the backyard. This toy works both as binoculars and a microscope. It was fun for him to look at rocks, grass blades, pine needles and leaf buds up close! The Explorer Scope is well made and durable enough for rough toddlers. I also love that it encourages imaginative play. I would definitely recommend this!
