If like us, you'll have very fond memories of using walkie talkies as a child to talk to your friends. The excitement as you pressed down the button and spoke into it and then stopped to listen to hear someone chatter back was like nothing else. And although many children now have their own tablets and smartphones to talk to their friends, we still think there's something special about talking on walkie talkies, even in this modern, digital age.

Are walkie talkies safe?
Children's walkie talkies are generally safe for kiddies to use, however, it is important to be aware that walkie talkies work by tuning in to the same frequency as other devices. With this in mind, it could be possible for other people within the range to be able to communicate on the same channel. We're sure you have taught your little one all about stranger awareness, but it is always good to remind your child not to talk to people they don't know before they play with their walkie talkie. It's well worth teaching your youngster how to turn the walkie talkie off and how to switch channels just in case this ever happens.
