Just what every child needs - a scooter after all, walking's for suckers.
Buy this for your kid and you can feel confident that you're setting them up for needing one of these as an adult.

Yes, that is very sad.
ReplyDeleteNever fails to amaze me when I see small children riding on those motorized "jeeps" and other vehicles that the toy stores sell. What were the parents thinking???
ReplyDeleteThis is just a step in the progression of kid's toys entertaining THEM instead of the kids using their imaginations. Now a "toy" that'll walk for them.
ReplyDeleteI work in a Children's Hospital in Texas, USA and it's sad to see on a regular basis an 8 yr. old huffing and puffing as he crosses the parking garage, struggling to keep up with him family.
About 10 years ago when I started seeing more obese children, I thought wistfully that I sure wish it'd been that way when I was a child, cause I've always been overweight, and there were just so few of us back in the 70s. Of course now I realize what an epidemic this "processed food" lifestyle has become, and the effect on all of us.
