Modern kids\u2019 walkie\u2011talkies use low-power transmissions, are built for children, and emit no harmful radiation. They are safe when used respectfully (no hitting, throwing).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Q: What age group are these walkie\u2011talkies suitable for?<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Generally, from around <\/span><b>4 to 12 years old<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
