Yep, agree, SEO bullshit, be a shame if the results returned for a search on Kidzlane walkie talkies lead to this thread rubbishing them.

The Kidzlane stuff is crap, cheap rubbish 49MHz gear by the looks of it so completely incapable of the advertised range.

There's no mention of a specific model number or link, so I doubt it's spam.

We'll have to wait and see if the original poster returns or creates more threads about Kidzlane products to see.

I doubt the original poster will be back, as I don't think they will get the answer they're looking for.

Lots of children's toys are rubbish. I remember having a pair of walkie talkies in the late 80s/early 90s and they weren't very good. They used a discrete design, with the speaker doubling as the microphone to save money. I remember them being very crackly. The frequency was around 27MHz and they did have a greater range than their more modern counterparts which I believe work at 433MHz or 2.45GHz. My nephews have some of the latter than they're worse than the ones I had, back in the day.
StillTrying:
I've known 27 or 49 MHz toys to not work even from one room to another, proper PMR works through many brick houses.
If they're these blue things there seems to be at least some reports of them not working out of the box.
