Okay, so I caved and bought these walkie-talkies for my 6-year-old after weeks of 'Mom, pleeeease?' And guess what? They’re actually awesome.

Why I’m obsessed:

- My kid figured them out in 2 seconds (unlike me with most tech). The big buttons and one-touch talking? Genius.

- The sound is crazy clear. Like, 'hearing my son whisper-scream SECRET MISSION from the backyard' clear.

- That little flashlight feature? Unexpected hero during last week’s blackout.

The not-so-perfect part:

The batteries drain faster than my phone at 1%. Pro tip: Buy rechargeables or prepare to be a AAA battery dealer.

Final verdict:

Worth every penny just to see my kid and his friends running around like tiny secret agents. Bonus: Now I can yell 'DINNER TIME' through the walkie-talkie instead of shouting out the window like a maniac. 10/10 would buy again!
