This walkie talkie set is perfect for kids because it doesn't have many buttons. The range, however, is not 5 miles.
However, the range is very short when there are small hills around. Also, make sure you buy rechargable batteries (sold separately) because you have to change the batteries every week and a half. These walkie talkies work well. Very portable and durable.
The range was not sufficient to be useful. We purchased these to use on a cruise ship during vacation. If you are purchasing for this purpose suggest you look at something with more transmitting power.
I don't expect much from $20 walkie-talkies, but one of the units had a broken speaker right out of the package. And the process for replacing/repairing is worthless since it's sold through an Amazon affiliate, not Amazon itself.
Unfortunately, the clarity is so poor that we constantly have to ask each other to repeat each others' transmissions. We bought the FV200s because they take regular batteries (more convenient than rechargeable batteries when your batteries start going dead while out & about) and because of the style and the price. We bought these Motorola FV200s to replace our older model Walkie-Talkies (Motorola T6220). Unfortunately, the clarity of the reception on the FV200s is horrible compared to our older model. I do not recommend this model.
