Are walkie talkies safe for kids?

Yes. FRS radios emit very low power (0.5-2W) — far less than cell phones. Radio frequency exposure at these levels is well within safety guidelines for children.

Can other people hear my kids on walkie talkies?

Potentially yes — FRS channels are shared public frequencies. Anyone on the same channel and within range can hear. Use privacy codes to reduce (but not eliminate) the chance of eavesdropping.
