Roommate KidCars - traffic I'll allow

I'm not all that keen on cars in real life, and I did make a promise to myself that I wouldn't dress my baby in car-themed t-shirts or decorate the nursery with jolly car decals. It was a promise that was easy to keep, as it happens, since I had a girl. And now of course I have to examine my conflicting promise that I would give her a range of boy-themed toys - no gender stereotypes here. Modern life is complicated.

Until I found the KidCars from Roommate, that is. These appeal to me purely on the level of their colours, shapes and feel. I'm sure kids must love them for the same reasons too. Plus I feel that I can let them into my house because although they are clearly based on cars, they don't resemble them too much (if real cars looked like this and were made of bright-coloured polyurethane - with washable removable covers - I'd be happy to see our streets filled with them!).
