What is a good yoyo in the 50 - 60 dollar price range that can spin long, has a fingerspin dimple, wide and is good for kids?
Prob any fingerspin plastic like speedaholic xx, shooting star, aoe, plastic cheatcode, or mojo. For monometals speedaholic mn and scintillator have fingerspin circles but theyāre flat and donāt lock in for small fingers. Speedaholic fx has a nice dimple and metal rims. And the metal cheatcode is probably the best for fingerspinning but heavy and not very fun otherwise.
Tdlr: get the speedaholic fx at $50 or any plastic in the first sentence they think looks cool (plastic cheatcode is the widest and prob longest spinning)

Thanks for the recommendations! Iāve been thinking of the Speedaholic mn too. The Speedaholic fx looks nice, Iām considering getting it. Thank you again!

I recommend the D.I.Yā¦ Itās plastic, but built like a tank. It plays great, and it gives super easy, long lasting fingerspins.

Thanks for the recommendation, but it looks like it will be hard to hit the fingerspins because of that āwallā surrounding the dimple.

I find it easy to hit, and that wall keeps the finger locked in. It also pull starts right into a finger spin for easy DNA practice.

Oh alright, I just think that if you miss the fingerspin dimple, the yoyo will fall off instead of being able to orient itself into the dimple.

I donāt use it for spins much, mostly pull starts, but the dimple on the C3 Scintillator is nice! Itās right at your budget. Itās really wide and a lot of fun.
Edit: didnāt notice good for kids but I think as long as they can already handle an unresponsive its just string length mostly, right?

The wall around the dimple can help. If you miss the dimple, you can angle your finger so that a knuckle bumps into the wall and pushes your fingertip into the dimple

Iām gonna go really cheap. Magic yoyo v11 or v12 good yoyo with finger spin hub and you can get multiple did your max price there.
Otherwise maybe a plastic cheatcode.
Plastic cheat code or the yyf superstar
The DIY is a fingerspin beast 
If youāre looking to buy new: iYoyo Shooting Star for $30. This option comes with both responsive & unresponsive bearings and axels, which might make it more kid-friendly.
If you donāt mind used: YYF Czech Point Pivot (~$30 used; not available on YYE anymore sadly). This is the better performer of the two, both for fingerspins and regular play.
Iāve also heard great things about the Offset Cheatcode.
Speedaholic MN, FX, Scintillator, Winter Solstice are ones i can list off the top of my head
Speedaholic XX is the best performer Iāve come across and itās around $30 and plastic. Once you get into the dimple, itās locked and will spin a long, long time. Iām sure the FX boosts the spin time, but the value the XX brings is tough to beat. Lots of cool color combos, too.

I have both the shooting star and DIY. My fingerspin preference would be DIY and the delrin feels great in the hand.

Okā¦ I know this is a bit above your $Price rangeā¦ā¦
But this New release is not only one of the very Best fingerspin yo-yos, but it is a Most Excellent 1A yo-yoā¦. Too.
It was just released a few weeks ago, but Iām kinda puzzled why I havenāt seen a single person talk about it?
The yo-yo Iām talking about is the Wicked yo-yos āJesterā.
Itās not even a bi-metal. But if you throw one around for even 5 minutes, you wonāt care, itās that good.

I canāt recommend the āiCEBERG Classicā enough. This is a great yo-yo all around. Love it to death.
There are some reviews online that say it better than I canā but trust me, you wonāt regret getting an iCEBERG.

Iāve been seeing lots of great things about the iCEBERG! Iām just choosing if I should get the FX, or this.
