A Waterproof Kids Camera: Which is the Toughest Model?

Many think of VTech's Kidizoom and Fisher Price's Kid Tough cameras for tough waterproof kids camera models. How about trying a proper adult digital waterproof shockproof camera instead?   It is not a silly idea to let kids use an adult digital waterproof shockproof camera.  These are built to be durable to withstand the elements as well as whatever life throws at them, making these great everyday cameras for all the family.

Depending on the model, it could cost less to buy one adult tough camera than buy a compact plus a toy "kid tough" camera. Also, why carry two cameras when one can do the job?  If a family uses a compact camera, why not consider a proper tough digital waterproof shockproof camera? These cameras are tougher and much better specified than the toy waterproof kids camera models.
