(They fly into walls, objects, you name it!) Luckily, many drones have spare parts in the event of a broken or lost propeller. When we have tested drones marketed for children, we've frequently watched junior pilots younger than age 8 crash them readily. Our experts note that drones are somewhat fragile across the board, and learning to fly them takes some patience (flight time usually lasts for less than 20 minutes) and care (one needs to avoid walls, trees, water and all other hazards). We tested our drones predominantly inside with children ages 8 and up but occasionally we took certain drones outside and tested some with younger children as well.

These drones might have a camera or act as racing drones that are simply fun to fly. There are plenty of beginner drones out there with easier-to-use features at a way lower price than professional drones. Now they want drones - the kind they see adults flying at the beach or in the park.
A generation ago, kids asked for remote-control planes.
