RC for kids

Who'd have thought it?!
RC for kids as young as 2 years old is a fast-growing (pardon the pun...) sector of the radio control market, and it's easy to see why.
Young kids love to see things moving, but being able to make something move yourself without touching it at an early age is just pure magic!

Obviously, the technology between a multi-channel rc helicopter and a stop/go/left/right radio control bug is somewhat different, but getting your child a radio control product at an early age is a great way to get the co-ordination and reflexes going - in much the same way as gaming consoles do, but without the damaging strain on the eyes!

Kids rc toys are generally pretty robust, and simple to operate.
Chunky, colorful products such as vehicles, robots and animals are becoming more available, and they don't really stretch the bank balance too much either.

As your child develops, he or she will undoubtedly have better reflexes and co-ordination as a result of regular playing with an rc toy.

And as time goes by, it won't be long before you can start teaching them to operate a proper multi-channel rc model - or perhaps it will be the other way round! ;-)
