Is the 16-mile range realistic?

No. That figure assumes open line of sight. In a neighborhood, through trees or inside a house, expect a fraction of that distance.

Are batteries included?

No, you need to supply batteries separately. Check the required size and count before first use.

Can more than two kids use them together?

Yes, as long as every radio is set to the same channel and privacy code. The set ships with two radios.

No. They are not rated for water, so keep them out of rain and puddles.

How do they compare with brand-name kids' radios?

They cost less and cover the basics, but brand-name sets usually have sturdier builds and clearer audio.

What ages are they suited to?

Roughly 5 and up. The controls are simple, but younger kids may need help with the keypad lock.

Our take on the onn Kids' Walkie Talkies

The onn Kids' Walkie Talkies are a two-radio set for outdoor play, camping and backyard exploring. Each radio has 22 channels, 121 privacy codes, a built-in LED flashlight and a keypad lock, with a claimed range of up to 16 miles and up to 20 hours of battery life. They are simple enough for young kids to use and cost far less than brand-name two-way radios. The catch is that the 16-mile figure only holds in open country; in a neighborhood or through trees the usable range is much shorter.
