Just got these walkie talkies for my 7-year-old, and they're a total hit! The rechargeable feature is a lifesaver—no more hunting for AAA batteries at midnight. Love the bright colors too; my kid picked the neon green one instantly.
The range is decent for backyard adventures (~0.5 miles in our suburban area). Pro tip: Channel 5 seems clearest in our neighborhood. Was surprised when we accidentally picked up a delivery driver's convo on channel 12—kids thought it was magic!
Durability gets 5 stars from me. These have survived multiple drops from the treehouse already. The wrist strap prevents major tragedies, though the clip could be sturdier.
Minor gripe: Battery lasts about 4 hours with constant use. Perfect for afternoon playdates but pack the USB-C cable for all-day camping trips.
PSA: Like another reviewer mentioned, these do scan public frequencies. We had to explain why 'channel police' was off-limits after some very wide-eyed kids heard dispatch chatter!
