The binocular is 5x30, which is good for birding and good for children. The lower magnification means less "handshake", and a more stable image. Also, this binocular is a smaller size which is good for younger hands. Most of the items in this adventure kit seem durable and well made. The cord for the binocular is thin, but seems sturdy. The only problem I have discovered so far, is that the thermometer on the whistle does not work. I bought two kits at the same time (one for each of my children) and both of their thermometers read 80 degrees at all times, even inside our home. I am not going to return these kits over a defective thermometer. My main reason for this purchase was to provide my children with a decent pair of binoculars, all the other stuff was just a bonus. <br /> <br />Contents: Binocular (5x30) with flip-down eye cups and neck cord, whistle with built-in thermometer, flashlight, compass, lens cleaning cloth, and carry pouch for all items. <br /> <br />Pros: <br />The binocular works well and is sturdy. <br />The flashlight works and seems sturdy enough for my kids. <br />The compass is cool, and my kids have loved using it to find out which direction we are walking. <br />The carry pouch is a MUST for children to keep all the items together. It is made of thin material, but I don't foresee my kids ripping or tearing it any time soon (they are ages 7 and 9). <br /> <br />Cons: <br />The thermometer doesn't work on the whistle (I bought two kits, and neither one worked). <br />The carry case for the kit does not have a shoulder strap. It does have a loop for wearing on a belt and it has hand strap sewn down inside the main compartment of the pouch, but my children don't normally wear belts and the hand strap makes for a bulky nuisance hanging off the wrist when they are trying to bird-watch. It would have been better if the carry case had a shoulder strap. <br /> <br />I gave this item 5 stars despite the two cons that I listed. This was a great purchase for my kids and they are each happy to own their first pair of binoculars. It was cool to see my son run to get his binoculars when he saw a large Cattle Egret land in our front yard this morning. <br /> <br />I also purchased Fun With Nature (Take-Along Guide). This book combined with the Carson Adventure Pak will get any child on their way to discovering nature while having fun. I recommended both purchases!

The Carson Adventure Pak is a great birding kit for youth. The binocular is 5×30, which is good for birding and good for children.

Contents: Binocular (5×30) with flip-down eye cups and neck cord, whistle with built-in thermometer, flashlight, compass, lens cleaning cloth, and carry pouch for all items.

Pros:

The binocular works well and is sturdy.

The flashlight works and seems sturdy enough for my kids.

The compass is cool, and my kids have loved using it to find out which direction we are walking.

The carry pouch is a MUST for children to keep all the items together. It is made of thin material, but I don’t foresee my kids ripping or tearing it any time soon (they are ages 7 and 9).

Cons:

The thermometer doesn’t work on the whistle (I bought two kits, and neither one worked).

The carry case for the kit does not have a shoulder strap. It does have a loop for wearing on a belt and it has hand strap sewn down inside the main compartment of the pouch, but my children don’t normally wear belts and the hand strap makes for a bulky nuisance hanging off the wrist when they are trying to bird-watch. It would have been better if the carry case had a shoulder strap.

I gave this item 5 stars despite the two cons that I listed. This was a great purchase for my kids and they are each happy to own their first pair of binoculars. It was cool to see my son run to get his binoculars when he saw a large Cattle Egret land in our front yard this morning.

I also purchased Fun With Nature (Take-Along Guide). This book combined with the Carson Adventure Pak will get any child on their way to discovering nature while having fun. I recommended both purchases!
