Buying Two-way Radios (Walkie Talkies) for Kids and Families

Walkie Talkies, or two-way radios, are a great bit of technology for families to have. They can be used for practical purposes, safety and just having fun. Walkie Talkies are excellent when you are in areas where mobile (cell) phone reception is poor and they are fantastic for use with children who don't yet need a mobile phone.In this article we'll take a look at what you can do with two-way radios and what to look out for when buying them.

When we last went camping the family in the tent opposite had a set of walkie talkies with them. The children took one unit while the parents had the other. This meant that the family were able to give the children more freedom since they were in regular communication. They also used their Walkie Talkies for practical purposes like sending one member off to see if the car gate was open yet.

 We wanted kid-friendly but non-toy walkie talkies that could be used over a reasonable distance.
