Which Walkie Talkies Did We Choose?

 Motorola MH230R Rechargeable Two Way Radio 4 Pack
? @ Amazon

We're in the UK and we chose a Quad set of Motorola TLKR T80 Extreme two-way radios. A similar model in the US is the Motorola MH230R. 

We chose the fairly high-end Motorola model because we felt that we would make good use of the higher end features and that if we bought a cheaper, more basic model then we would regret it later. My children were 7 and 8 when we bought them so we expect to be using these walkie talkies for several years.

We chose to get a quad set rather than just a pair because we want our kids to be able to keep in touch with each other as well as us. And we want to make sure that as parents we can both keep in touch with the kids even when we're not together. It also gives us the option of two pairs at times when we each have a child with us. 

Brightly coloured and weatherproof. They come with plenty of accessories including belt clips, lanyards and headsets. And they have the best of both worlds with rechargeable battery packs that can be charged inside or outside the devices so you can buy and charge spares for longer trips. They use a cradle rather than being USB rechargeable, but we can live with that.
