All you need to know is what the fare structure is.
I presume that £14 is the total for the family.
It seems that £4.70 is the minimum adult cash fare:-

Child fare (5 to 10 and 11 to 15) is £2.30.

16 and over pay full cash fare (£4.70)
I thought kids under 11 were free?
Or is that restricted to the tube?

I was persuaded to obtain one after learning about how much I could save. The card was posted to my home address without any problems or restrictions.
Oyster Cards do cost £5. However it must be said that this is a deposit not a charge. If I wanted my £5 back I could quite simply return the card.
Same here.
It appears the cost for a visitor card is £3 now.
Family members have used ours more than we have - with most of my trips in London on the tube being a connection between National Rail stations.
It does save a lot of money and can make trips affordable.
Haven't got a Key Card.
The Network One weekly ticket (sometimes a Day Rover/Explorer) meet my needs financially and give me the flexibility I need (that GNE don't provide).
One the very rare occasions I need to use GNE and nowt but them, a one or two zone ticket does the job - begrudgingly paying the ridiculous single fares when heading on a one way trip to a railway station.

However there is an advantage with Oyster if you are making multiple bus journeys there is a maximum charge of £4.40 per day whereas contactless payment does not benefit from the £4.40 capped value.
bargain!
