The Olympus Trooper 7x35 is pretty much identical to the Nikon Action 7x35. Olympus reverse porros generally get good reviews, but a 10x21 for under $50 would be pushing your luck, I think. The 7x35s will give a much more relaxed and pleasant viewing experience. The disadvantages are weight, short eye relief, folding rubber eyecups and minimum IPD of 60mm. (IPD =Interpupillary Distance and means the distance between the eyes).
I still think the Olympus 8x25 might be your best bet, if the minimum IPD of 58mm is okay. If not, I don't know what to suggest. What is your daughter's IPD?
There's an 8x25 on auction at the moment being sold off by Olympus because of scuffed packaging. I wish I could bid for it myself. (I recently won an auction for one of these, only to find out after it had been sent that it was actually an 8x21!)
