So our aon is reaching that age where we give him a little more latitude is going around the sites without us having eyes on him the whole time, HOWEVER, we have lost him a couple of times when he has been invited back to a new friends caravan and we lose sight of him. Therefore we are thinking Walkie Talkies might be a good idea. He is 7 ans wondered if anyone uses them and could suggest a good brand/model.
Many thanks

be very very careful about these walkie talkies things. When we had boat on Windermere we got our daughter (about 12 at the time) one or rather two, just to have fun talking ship to ship with her other boating friends when we were on the lake or barbequing on the shore. As said earlier they are not secure in any way and you will be surprised how many folk have them one evening a group of lads we think on a campsite close buy verbally abused her with secual innuendo. I would not advise there use for a child. Furthermore would it not be better to teach your son not to go in anyone's caravan for any reason without yur approval.

If you should decide to use these items from car to car or motorhome PLEASE remember the law is still the same from the drivers point of view !! I.E. No hand-held use if you are behind the wheel !!

That web page can be read in two ways due to lack of proper punctuation. I don't think that would stand up in court.
Do you think that Top Gear would have driven on public roads using 2 way radios for al the world to see if it was illegal? 2 way radios are legal to use while driving.
I can't see any ambiguity in 
..... 'You can use hands-free phones, sat navs and 2-way radios when you’re driving or riding.'
