7 best walkie-talkies for kids

A budget set of children's walkie-talkies powered by ordinary AAA batteries (3 pieces must be inserted into each). The model perfectly keeps the signal indoors. Even despite the 1-channel, the walkie-talkies transmit the voice of the speaker well. The models are as simple as possible, there is no volume control, no input for charging / headset. There is only a side on / off key and an answer button. Walkie-talkies are designed for children aged 3 to 12 years. No setup required: just insert batteries, turn on and use. However, the line has one significant drawback - marriage. It comes across infrequently, but it still affects the assessment of users.

Children's walkie-talkie for the youngest spies. This is the best option for children from 4 years old: the set has clear instructions, practical fasteners for clothes. The walkie-talkie requires 6 AAA batteries to operate. The control of the model is as simple as possible: only one button for negotiations.Yes, this is not a full-fledged real walkie-talkie, but for kids it is ideal. The device comes in a colorful box, easy to assemble and turn on. The model sits perfectly in a child's hand, has good volume and even withstands falls. But the batteries here need to be put as powerful as possible, as they sit down pretty quickly. In addition, in fact, walkie-talkies work stably only within 500-1000 m, and not 2 km, as the manufacturer claims.

A real walkie-talkie in a rugged case. This model may well be the best solution for children over 6 years old. The device is no longer childish, but quite adult, only its dimensions are very miniature. But the functionality is great. A 1000 mAh battery lasts up to 1.5 days of active use, and a wide range of channels allows you to use the device not only for games. An inexpensive set is charged via USB, batteries do not degrade over time. Judging by the reviews, the voice quality here is excellent, but the model has some minor flaws. The most annoying for some users is a loud “talker” in English, announcing a low battery.

The best set of walkie-talkies with advanced functionality for older children. Schoolchildren will be interested in setting up the device and communicating with it from a distance. A set of 2 real conversation devices can last up to 10 hours on 3 regular AAA batteries. And if you install rechargeable batteries in the device, then it will work even longer - up to 18 hours. This entry-level model is not for children, but it is far from a full-fledged adult: there are only 8 channels, there is no input for a headset, and the range is not the best . True, in open areas, walkie-talkies perfectly catch a signal at a distance of 3-4 km. But in the city, this figure does not exceed 1.5 km.

One of the best radio sets from a Russian brand. Yes, the device is made in China, but this makes its quality no worse. The model belongs to real adult walkie-talkies with noise reduction, voice activation, full 16 channels, 155 subtones and power-saving mode. There is nothing complicated in setting up, but children under 8-10 years old are unlikely to cope with such a task: adult help is needed here. The device is of very high quality, is equipped with a shock-resistant case with a removable antenna, has IPX4 protection against dust and moisture. The radio, of course, is solid both in terms of functionality and appearance. But this does not prevent her from becoming a good gift for a grown-up student.

A high-quality real walkie-talkie, which may well become an excellent assistant in hiking for children from 10 years old. The device supports an extended list of channels, can be charged both from a native station and from a power bank via a USB connector. Children's models with this walkie-talkie, of course, cannot be compared, but in terms of miniature, the device bypasses many toy devices. The device weighs only 160 g, it lies comfortably in the hand, and its small dimensions allow you to carry it around your neck / in your pocket. The model also has voice activation. It allows you to use the walkie-talkie as a baby monitor for older kids.

The best in build quality, purity and stability of the signal is a real walkie-talkie. The set, of course, is not for children, but this model is very easy to manage, which makes it relevant for beginners in negotiations at a distance. The device is powered by 4 rechargeable batteries or AAA batteries.The model has a VOX voice activation mode, the ability to call the complete radio, a choice of melodies (10 pieces are available), as well as automatic noise reduction. The device works at a distance of up to 5 km, but in fact this figure varies between 1.5-4 km. However, this disadvantage is fully compensated by the advantages of the model.
