As a radio enthusiast, I would have gladly bought my 6 y/o nephew a pair of "real" FRS radios for about the same cost, but I was concerned he might accidentally switch channels or have other trouble, and that wouldn't be much fun.
This radio is a good mix of features for a kid:
- small size, looks cool/real
- flashlight (not super functional, but fun) - doesn't stay on, just on while you hold the button
- can change channels, but not too many confusing options, and not complicated to change them
- has privacy code - pre-set, not configurable
- fun little "roger beep" when you stop transmitting
- compatible with full featured FRS radios - for mom and dad.
If you want to use them with a real FRS radio, the channels are numbered oddly:
Little Pretenders 1 = FRS 1, privacy code 4 (77hz)
Little Pretenders 2 = FRS 3, privacy code 4 (77hz)
Little Pretenders 3 = FRS 6, privacy code 4 (77hz)
It's nice that there's a privacy code set on these radios - so they won't pick up random chatter from other people on the same channel. BUT it's not truly private - other people can still hear you - so make sure to tell your kids:
- not to talk to strangers
- not to use their full name
- not to use their address, phone number, etc
Forget 2 miles - they should have a real world range of about 0.5 mile. Since a lot of FRS users will be on the default channel 1, using channel 3 on these radios may be a bit better.
