The obuby are the experts in kids walkie talkies and they have thought of every additional feature you could want. The talkies can support up to 3km and have great anti-interference which makes them perfect for cities or suburban areas.

The Obuby also allows for real-time monitoring and an intelligent alarm system that lets you know if your child wanders off.

Most other kids walkie talkies are pretty poor quality and just colored pieces of junk along with tending to lack performance but the Obuby are pretty good talkies in their own right with stable signal and 22 main channels

Motorola T600 Talkabout Radio

If you are working around or near water then I recommend the T600s. These talkies are waterproof and float so if you do drop it then its easy to retrieve. Along with the 11 weather channels the T600 also includes a water activated flashlight and red Led incase its night time.

With all these great features is perfect for any lake worker or lifeguard.

Sanzuco Long Range Walkie

I have seem multiple users have issues with these walkies ranging from products being defective on first use or the batteries not lasting very long. While the after sales support seems really good I would avoid these walkies due to there being much better options in the same price range.

QNIGLO Rechargeable Kids Walkie Talkie

Rather than performance if you are looking for something abit more toy like for your the Qniglo are great animal shape walkies that lack the performance of the Obuby but are a great alternative due to their design which kids tend to find more interesting.
