My experience, and this was with the kids when they were younger, is that cheaper drones are much harder to fly. I bought a £30 from Maplins about 8 years ago, and I struggled to control it and the kids, who were 7 and 4 then, absolutely could not. It was fairly robust, but we regularly had to repair it.
We bought a better one - a Ryze Trello - for £100 and that was so much better for them. It has auto take off and land, is controlled by an app, has pre-programmed acrobatic manoeuvres and a camera that gives you a pilot's eye view of it flying. You can also use it to take pics and videos, which they loved. I bought a spares kit, but have not really had to use it that much.

I want to know if I'm crazy to think about getting a £50 drone for my 6yo.
Are there ones that will survive multiple savage crashes?
Are there ones for £50?
Would be for use in a park.
Cheers.
