We purchased this set from Amazon marketplace after hearing from a friend who purchased the exact set from REI for her kids. I was a bit hesitant at first when I read some other folks review here, but we thought if we're using them for young kids under 10-year-old, it's worth trying them (jst using them around our small house or bring them to a hike/camping was the main reason).

So far it held up well. Kids dropped them on to the wooden floor and carpeted area, and that didn't break the unit. Easy enough for 5-year-old to use them after a little demo, and small enough for their little hands.

We once heard some electricians on the same radio wave (on channel 1) when we first turned them on, but that was the only time we had heard any other radio channel users. We just changed to channel 3 and never needed to change again so far. What kids talking each other isn't very private matter, so we actually don't care what other people might hear on the same channel.

This unit doesn't come with a charging cradle but only with plug-in power adopter. We didn't like to own another cradle type thing sitting on the counter space, so we preferred having only power cord/adopter. However that could be a minus for some other folks. We also found out these use the included NiMH rechargeable battery pack as well we 3 AA rechargeable or Alkaline batteries. We use Sanyo Eneloop batteries around the house for everything, so when we need to replace the original battery pack, we could use our rechargeable batteries.

Paying bout $37 for kids' use, I think it's worth it for that money comparing to some other toy-company-made walkie talkies.

These two-way radio by Motorola work extremely well for our purposes. Well made and easy to operate. Range is affected by terrain. But for short range like theme parks they work very good.

Only about 2mile reception not 20 as advertised. Fine for our children to play with but if you we're counting on longer range could be a problem.
