Today I was struck by how much time young kids spend playing with car and truck toys.

If we want to move towards walkable cities, public transit, and micromobility it may be a good idea to stop indoctrinating people at the age of 1 that cars and trucks are fun.

Of course they’re natural shapes for toys. Extremely simple and stable, but slightly more dynamic then a literal wooden block… but it’s not like they’re the only things with that property.

    @deegeese There is a rather large difference between “not pushing things on them unprompted” and “disallowing them from having things they’re asking for”. 1 year olds in particular aren’t asking for any specific kinds of toys.

    There is also a rather large difference between advocating for changing something as a society, and doing something just to your own kids that will make them different from other kids.
