Kids' drones are a popular toy, but we had some surprising results when we tested them. Find out what you need to know before buying a drone as a gift for your child.

Drones for kids are becoming increasingly popular toys, but you'll want to make sure the one you buy is safe, secure and well built before putting the controller in the hands of a child.

In September 2021, we tested eight of the most popular drones that cost less than £100 and are listed as toys or for kids.

If drones weigh less than 250g they're considered small enough to be toys and don't require a drone licence to fly them in the UK. However, you can't fly drones of any kind within 5km of an airport, no matter how light or small they are.

We were disappointed to find that none of the drones we tested were especially high quality or risk-free in the opinion of our tester, so we don't recommend any of those listed below.

Read on for our full test results, plus an explanation of the risks parents should be aware of before buying kids' drones.
