The first reason might concern the telescope mount, when you get your kid's department store telescope home and start to put it together, you notice the small and obviously unstable mount sold with it. For instance, you open the telescope mount's legs you realize it seems very small and rickety. Most cheap, department store telescopes have been sold with small, plastic fittings and parts that overtime will crack and break.

The second reason a department store telescope is a bad choice for your kids, you find once your kids start to use it they complain that the view through the scope keeps shaking. You take over and look through the telescope, and yes, you notice the view is not stable and seems to keep wobbling. It only takes you a few minutes to realize that the unstable mount wobbles in any breeze and gives you the worst telescope viewing possible for your kids.

The third reason becomes known when your kids come running to you after you go inside to refill your coffee or hot chocolate. Your kids tell you that their new telescope has fallen over. With its tiny, unstable legs you finally realize it would only take an accidental kick to cause the department store telescope to fall over. You realize this mount is probably the not the best one to use with kids.
