4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty decent for little kids
Bought for my son's 5th bday. Decent sound, decent coverage -- a good bet for the price.

(1) You have to hold down a button to turn on, and off: that's handy so you can control when it's on to ensure battery doesn't run down unduly;

(2) You need to take the time to slowly show your child that they press a button to talk, and THEN NEED TO...

Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids!, November 3, 2009

I bought some for an 8-year-old and he and his brother are having a blast with them. Caveat emptor: walkie-talkie channels are not private, so don't use these toys for serious communication except in an emergency. The little darlings accidentaly interrupted somebody else's conversation (at the top of their little lungs).

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the units never worked at all, January 19, 2010

I bought these for my grandsons for Christmas, but one of the walkie talkies did not work out of the box. Since I bought them in October (silly me for planning ahead!), I can't even get a refund.

Bottom line - don't buy! They are cheaply made and don't work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Walkie Talkie, May 22, 2011

Looks nice, works okay BUT you can hear interference from other people with such. Heard this problem with other walkie talkies as well.
Good seller though
