A few years ago ds was given a walkie talkie set, and it never worked well. Mostly it sent static back and forth.

He's been wanting a new set for years, and for a variety of reasons, now seems like a good time.

Can anyone recommend a brand or set that really does work? We would use these around the house, camping, and possibly in stores (don't laugh...)

We are definitely a walkie-talkie family. DS takes one with him when he goes to a neighbor's home; we live in the country and sometimes cell service can be spotty. We use them outside, camping, vacations, and yes, stores, so I won't laugh!!

We have gotten decent Motorola walkie talkies at Sams Club. We've had two or three sets over the years.

Oh- thank you for the input! I was looking at this pair on Amazon.

I had not thought to looks at Sams... will look there as well.

I just don't want to go through the all excited-oh-joy-walkie-talkie hoopla again only to find out we have another lemon pair.

The pair you linked to Amazon . . . that's what we have!! They work really well. I know what you mean about buying lemons . . . we've had that, too!

Great. I think this may be our set!

I've been looking for good walkie-talkies for years! Our kids have several friends in the neighborhood plus a place in the woods that they like to play. I've wanted to get them some for a long time.

If I get the triple set, can I use one as the base at home and give the other two to my two boys??

Yes, you can do that.
