I think the problems discussed here are related to one thing. . . parental supervision. Like Richard, I too toddled around in the '60s. Both my parents came from working farms. While I had toy farm tractors (still have a nice ERTL 3010 tricycle JD) I was also exposed to the real thing from a very early age. Not to say that was the safest course of action but i was taught how to behave around machinery. My paternal grandfather died in a mowing acccident on his farm before I was born. Safety is something no one in our family every took for granted. Farm machinery of any type makes the task much easier but can be dangerous to operate. Toys that talk and look all cuddly have the potential to give today's children the impression that the real thing will behave in the same way. I have the distinct privelage of being the father of three sons ages 11, 8, 16 months. With the proper supervision, my 11- and 8-year olds have been working on tractor driving skills with my close supervision since they were 9 and 6 respectfully. Flat, level ground with me right next to them at minimal speed. I was taught from an early age what machinery can do. Respect, caution and safety above all else can not be relegated to some animated show or toy. It has to come from the parents.
In a nutshell, I'm for the more realistic toys.
