Looking for a decent quality set of Binos for my daughters

My girls (12 and 9) have always hunted with me. This week they said they want a hunting pack like mine and the stuff that goes in it. I need a recomendation on a decent quality but not the nicest set of binos? Also maybe a back pack rec as well if yall got one? TIA

I am an optics ignorant person, but I have enjoyed the Vortex Diamondbacks

Get some low power binos with a monster field of view. I’ll wait on the budget to make a real recommendation .

If I had unlimited money and was going to buy a kid some binos, I’d get them 10x30 image stabilized sigs.
And I’d take the pures for myself.

Vortex has some binos aimed at youth, the bantam serves for like 70$. I would get that so that when they lose them it won’t hurt as bad as the swaros.

That's how you really flex on the poor arse proletariat buying their kids vortex diamondbacks.
Me, I use Redfields- made in China by somebody else's poor kids

Haha. As for budget I hadn't thought much about it as I use a 20 year old pair of Nikons that work great. I'd guess in the $50-$100 range? I'd pay a little more if it was a deal type thing.

You can get some 10x42 bushnells for $50-60 on Amazon.

I use Nikon monarchs and very much like them

Optics Planet has a bunch of binos on sale for Cyber Monday. I bought mine 9 y/o son some youth Vortex for his stand bag

I just bought the Leupold BX-1 McKenzie HD at Academy for $129.

I know nothing about it as I stated earlier but Simmons is running a Virtex Copperhead deal where you get a 4x12 scope and a pair of 10x42 binos for 179 dollars.

I bought my grandsons some Bushnell Permafocus 7x35 binoculars,they work well for kids,not very expensive..

My thoughts:
Give the older one your Nikons.
Buy the younger one a set of Vortex bantam 6.5.
If you hunt a fair amount I would invest in a good set of binos for yourself. Buy the nicest ones you can reasonably afford. You generally get what you pay for. Depending on price range I would vote for vortex diamondback (low end), vortex viper or meopta (mid), or vortex razor or Swarovski (high end) . 8x42, 10x42, or 10x50 depending on what kind of hunting you do . You can frequently find pretty good deals on used mid to high end optics on eBay.
Good luck and that’s awesome your girls wanna hunt with dad!!!!!

I wouldn't spend a lot on binoculars for young kids because they have a hard time keeping up with them. I just purchased my 9 and 7 year old grandsons Bushnell and Stryker binoculars on Henderson Auctions Bowie Outfitter sale for around $100. They are 10 X 42 with larger exit pupils. One pair is already gone.
