In your opinion, can a smart 5 year old work the buttons on these two way radios?

If the 5 year old can grasp the concept of how a two way radio works then yes. These two way radios are not complex at all in my opinion. Also, I highly suggest rechargeable batteries.

Absolutely. You just hold in the button on the side and talk. Release to hear.

My boy was using them with me when he was 4 ;) you just need to tell him do not touch the channels or know how to get it back to that number

The buttons are small but half the time I just hit them to change stations or volume. The instructions are not very well written so I had to figure it out. I'm not sure how to answer this question really. If you don't mind just hitting buttons until you get results then yes. Hope this helps

If you mean the Left and Right Small Buttons...then yes...you can use those for Forward and Back on sites.

I would say depending on what things tge 7 yr old is into. If they are advanced in electronic games...Nintendo ds etc...this will encourage their learning skills but like I said b efore, the buttons are hard to push and if they have weak fingers, they may get discouraged. Overall, it is a good product.

It might work. It's very flexible left to right (so you can wrap it around something), but not as much top to bottom (fairly stiff that way). If the material is fixed to something on both sides (left and right edges), I don't think a small child would be able to press buttons, etc., through the material. But being able to affix it something on both edges is fairly critical. One other thing to keep in mind with small kids -- the edges can be quite sharp when cut, if not cut smoothly.

Yes, I think so because I bought it for my daughter who was 6 at the time and she loved it. It was much easier for her to use than others with too many buttons.

Probably. I gave my son his when he was 4 and it wasnt easy for him to figure it out at first. Plus I really recommend getting the 3 instead. Its wayy better than the 2. Alot easier to use.

Yes, my 7 yr old & 5 yr old did the experiments together. As long as someone can read the instructions.

I'm not sure if your child will be able to push the button with one finger. For a full grown adult its not a problem. Pushing it a couple of times I think you do have to put a little pressure on the button to turn it on. With practice or using both thumbs I think she could use it. I'm really happy with mine and for the people I bought them for but they were all adults. The fact that they glow (not real bright to disturb sleep) is worth trying them out. Good Luck!

Just have to make sure the channels match on each walkie talkie and it says it on the side and make sure its on. Hold the large button while talking so its pretty easy. I would think a 4.5 yr old could use it. You could set the channels on each unit then its a matter of pushing the button to talk. Hope that helps

My kids had no problem using them at age 3 & 5. They vary in strength throughout the pack, but most are easy to operate.

no..... because any child can move the up and down switch and push the button

Yes. I got them for my grandson who just turned 4 and he loves them. The also work with the older version.

My daughter is 3 and son is 6. They love their headphones and have used them on the plane a few times. TThey are great. The only problem I have is that the kids can easily switch to parent mode. You can tell they have done this because the colour of the lights on the ear pieces changes although this. Is only helpful if you are actually constantly looking at your child. I think a redesign is needed for this aspect.

I think after a year of use that a 4 year old could hold down the talk button

Yes. I have 3 of these. They r bulky but very light. My 2.5 year old can easily do it.

Absolutely My 2 yr. old granddaughter presses the buttons and figured it out real quick. I have it out of her reach, so she doesn't play with it all nite, though.
