Walkie talkies come into their own when playing secret agents, and these hands-free devices have lots of clever extras that our testers loved. Child-safe two-way walkie talkies feature a digital connection that keeps your child’s conversations secure Ease of use: How easy are the walkie talkies to use? Are they intuitive for younger users? Do you need to hold the button down to talk? Some walkie talkies offer Voice Operated Exchange (VOX) capabilities which enable children to send messages without holding down the button to speak. Instead, the microphone stays on and automatically transmits when it registers a voice. VOX can be helpful for younger children who may struggle or forget to hold down the talk button. Delivery service is available to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, and designated outlying island areas (i.e., Tung Chung, Discovery Bay and Ma Wan) only. Restricted areas, other non-listed outlying islands, and areas requiring vehicle permit access (i.e., Wong Shek Pier in Sai Kung) are excluded. The sound quality is great, offering a clear, static-free reception even when outside. These walkie talkies claim to work up 3km apart in an open area, and we were very impressed that they stood up to their claim when we split up on a family walk to really put them through their paces (the belt clips came in handy here, too). This was on a clear day – without any wind or rain to battle with – and we’re not sure the signal would have stretched quite so far with less-than-perfect conditions. That said, it’s unlikely children would be using these at such a distance very often.
Channel Islands, including Jersey and Guernsey (Sark, Alderney and Herm are an additional 1 days delivery from Guernsey) 48 Hour Dispatch ServiceThe light-up screen shows the level of reception, volume and battery life – especially handy when using these outside – and our testers loved taking the Kearuis out with them on bike rides and walks, where they performed really well. As well as the standard chat function, these walkie talkies can send picture messages (like a thumbs up and ‘bye!’) from one to the other and have choice of four different games you can play against each other. These were all pretty straightforward and our five and eight-year-old testers had no issues working out how to play them on their own after a little trial and error. The favourite was the motorbike racing game, where you use the arrow buttons on the walkie talkie to help your rider avoid the obstacles – strangely addictive even for a 40-year-old…
Small but mighty, these walkie talkies boast the longest range of just under 5km. In all honesty, we struggled to test them at this long distance, but when we tried them at a 3km range the reception was crystal clear.
Other Features:
The perfect size for our testers’ hands, these compact walkie talkies had instant appeal thanks to their vibrant, contrasting colourway. Our testers loved the bright colours – and we were pleased to see this model available in a wide choice of colours, if lime green and turquoise don’t appeal.
