We've had a few sets. Still have a set of Motorola FRS radios. We don't use them as often as we use to. We used them to keep in touch when separated in theme/amusement parks, but have found texting to be more convenient. We also used them to keep tabs on the kids while they are playing with friends in the neighborhood, but now we just use cellphones for that.
About the only thing we use them for anymore is if we are traveling together in separate vehicles. The backup camera on our Motorhome has audio, so I can hear the wife through the MH's speakers when she's spotting me into a camp site.
If you think they will be useful, get them. Having built in weather radio would definitely come in handy. The only thing I'd recommend is get ones that can be recharged while in the radio, not separate rechargeable batteries.
