Anyone use Gabb phones?

Has anyone actually tried one of these Gabb phones? They're designed for kids - no internet, just texting/calling and like basic features. My 11yo doesn't need internet on a phone, just wants to be able to call us and text friends, and this seems ideal but $200+ feels expensive for something that basic. Curious if anyone has real experience with whether they're actually durable and useful or just a marketing gimmick for paranoid parents like me.
