I own a Fox 40 (Classic) that I wanted to get for my kids - but I let them blow it for a day - and realized they could barely make it sound.

Called Fox and asked if their Micro was better for kids - the woman who answered the phone was very knowledgable but said she thought it would not be any better.

I ordered the ACR WW-3 (about 3 bucks a whistle) off e-bay after calling ACR. The woman who answered the phone thought it would be a good whistle for kids.

Man was she right. My 3 year old (barely three and little dude) can just about crack my ear drums with it with little effort (of course it has Skittle slobber all over it now).

I am VERY happy with this little whistle and could recommend it for those who have little ones they want to go hiking with.

I plan on getting them little lanyards (or making them) so that when we go hiking they have them on them at all times.

Awesome, thanks for the tip, it's nearly the same size as the Fox 40 micro too, so it would be perfect for PSKs. You do sacrifice 18db though, I guess it doesn't matter for kids though, they got to be able to blow it or they won't get any db.
 
Exactly. I wanted a FLAT piece of kit for my pack - and this way I get a LOUD ORANGE whistle that works for the kids - and it is like 3 bucks shipped.

Terill,

I wish I would have seen this one before I bought the ACR - I would have likely still purchased them - but it would have save a lot of time in research.
