We're going to look like knobs aren't we?

Yesterday we were extremely lucky and won a small electric remote controlled ride in car for toddler dd. She's obsessed with it, we're ecstatic, truly an awesome prize. But we gave nowhere to drive it at home.

Are we going to look like complete knobs driving our kid around in her own convertible in public or AIBU to already be internally cringing (And slightly cracking up) at the image?

Take it to the park - fine.

Take it to the supermarket - not fine!

i wouldn't bat an eyelid, kids go about in all sorts of contraptions - sometimes it's the only way to get them out the door.

My son rocks his convertible and gets lost of nice comments from people in the park. We just make sure that he stops when dogs are passing (the car is a bit loud) and that he keeps to the side of the path when passing people.

I want one that my fat ass will fit into Envy

OP, please ignore the weird classist comments here. I’ve never known anyone to have negative associations with these toys. In any case, your DC will looooove it and that’s all that matters!

To be fair if I had had one of these at 3 I would probably have refused to ever walk again. Grin
