Uh, they are fine, they just can get a bit heated. Depends how old the kids are and whether they'd be careful.
The headlamp only has a 90 sec timer that reduces the brightness on turbo, there's no other thermal protection. I see in my review notes that it only reached a max temp of 51°C on my test bench, so that's normal. That would reach a much warmer temp if it was a hot night though. Just something to keep in mind.
I mainly imported them for hunters who wanted a bit extra reach for the red beam.
