Our three-year-old, five-year-old and eight-year-old have been testing these walkie talkies around the house, in the garden and on country walks, to really see which ones perform the best. Parents will appreciate the secure digital connection, meaning these can only connect to other Vtech kidigear walkie talkies – a thoughtful safety feature we would have appreciated on the other devices we tested.

Many of the models we tested included built-in lights, alarms, voice changers and even games, to up the enjoyment and usability. With just five buttons to contend with, our five-year-old got to grips with these in minutes and was even able to explain to our youngest tester how to use them.A game of secret agents, hide and seek or even a sleepover with school friends becomes a whole lot more fun when you add a set of kid-friendly walkie talkies into the mix.

All of the walkie talkies we tested have been designed with kids aged three to 12 (or older) in mind, so are simple to use and the right size for smaller hands. Incredibly lightweight and with a large push-to-talk button, these are great for younger kids, although we did find our three-year-old struggled to get her whole hand around the square device.

Walkie talkies are the kind of toy that appeals to little kids and young teenagers alike (even if they are too cool to admit it! Talk to your children to make sure they know not to talk to anyone they don’t know on their walkie talkies and to come and tell you if anything like that happens.

Perfect for Adventure or Work]: Walkie-talkie can monitor children for real-time conversations, anti-churn systems, intelligent alarm systems, etc.However, it’s important to be aware that, as walkie talkies operate by tuning into the same frequency as another device, other people in range may also be able to listen to the channel and try to join in. We looked at how easy they were to use, how clear the reception was and how far it stretched, if they had any extra features and, crucially, how fun they were to use. Equipped with a key lock function, it is not easy for children to modify the channels to enhance the fun of parent-child interaction. We found this feature handy to track down one half of the set when it inevitably went missing around the house, although you are relying on the walkie talkie to be turned on for this to work.

It can easily help children avoid accidental touch, or when parents do not allow children to use it.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
