Can you pinch them together so that the eye piece is close enough for a normal sized five year old? Thanks in advance..

I don't know how wide a 5 year old's eyes are but you can squeeze them down so the eyepiece centers are 1-1/2" apart.

Yes, the eye pieces fold together and nearly touch. I think you could easily adjust them for a child.

Hi! We don't have children, so I can't test the binoculars on one (!), but I can tell you 2 things I think might help: (1) These binoculars close together all the way, bringing those 2 eyepieces touching, side by side; and (2) I measured the distance between the center of each eyepiece, and it's about 1-and-1/2 inches, actually just a teeny bit less than that. So, I would assume that if the span between the center of each eye of your child is an inch-and-a-half or more, these binoculars could totally be viewed by someone smaller. :) I hope this helps!

I ordered them for my 3 year old however i had to wrap a scarf around the top with a hair tie. So if your ok with getting creative then yes, but not normally.

I know this question was from awhile ago, but these eyes are hard plastic eyes. Although I don't see how they can be pulled off by a child as the elephant we received seems to have eyes that are extremely secure. There is really no room for these eyes to move and they also cant be spun around etc.

No, they fit snuggly around the eyes. You might be able to get lenses that fit in behind the goggle lens but frames won't fit.

I believe they were made out of wood. I donated them to the preschool I was teaching at when I moved.I think you should not have a problem putting an eye hook in them.

No, it would be frustrating and could not be handled by a five year old. This is something for someone much older. Wait about 12-13 years.

I guess it depends on how big the child is. I am and adult and have a smaller head and very small nose bridge and they fit me fine. The straps adjust so around the head they should be able to accommodate a child's head and they have a smaller clip size which can be changed out between the eyes. Unless the child is very small I would probably guess they would fit. I have a 7 year old grandson of average size and I think he could probably wear this.

Well, I did buy them for our 3 year old also, and she has enjoyed them so very much. They are only 2X so they cant see very far, but it does help some. I would check Discovery toys and see if they have a better version of a childs binocular, or yes a cheap real one.

Did you ever buy these for your five year old? If so, how did they fit? Did they work well?

We have lost a nose off one of the dogs, but no eyes. Still, I am sure it is possible for them to be pulled off. Something certainly to keep in mind for smaller children. My boys love these little dogs. We've had these pups for several years and they have become dear "friends" to my boys.

So you have the option to have a different strength for each eye? I did not when getting swim goggles and went with something in the middle, so in your case, either 2 or 2.5. I have one eye too strong, one not enough, but that does not seem to be a problem.

Nope just tried. You will probably pull your eye ball out before it seperates from your contact. Although I bet you could use it to help a child insert a soft contact....Not sure.

My son is the same in both eyes, so we never had the issue. However, in looking at my son's goggles, it looks like you could take them apart between the lenses with the interchangeable nose piece, then feed the strap through where it connects to the eye piece, remove one of the eyepieces and build your own pair of goggles with different powers. I highly recommend these goggles for recreational wear. The only problems we have had is that they do fog up and they don't stay on well for competitive swimming.

Sort-of. I find them a bit small around the eyes, but still usable as an adult. The slightly too-small size is my only complaint about these otherwise excellent new brand of prescription goggles.

It would be like wearing two sets of glasses, but I'm sure you could, as long as your glasses are not polarized. My kid does that with these.You could also likely alter them to clip them onto existing glasses also, but that would be a bit of work and a small bit heavy.

Yes you could. There's only plastic holding them together, maybe a little less than a quarter inch of it.
