Several things to consider.
Lot to be said for small binoculars that you are not afraid to break or loose. I used a pair of Nikons for years bought out of a duty free shop cheap. Did fine, when I upgraded gave them to my Son who still uses them. Caution is cheap binoculars you have to look through before you buy same brand & model one will be better than another.
I upgraded to a pair of Swarovski 8x20s they are wonderful little binocs almost as good as my larger Swarovskis but expensive, which makes me worry about them traveling. I had a pair stolen out of my hotel room one trip.
Real caution is small binoculars are hard to hold steady and small objective lens needs good light, avoid high power. 8 is all you want 7 x may be better Little 10's are hard to use.
