I got such a kick out of the Maclaren Quest Junior, I bought one at the GAP for my DD. My first thought was WTF-- is that really necessary??? But the store clerk conviced me it's really sturdy (and $9 on clearance so...) So cute, and she's just now using as a push toy. Can't wait until she's really walking! Sucked over to the dark side!

Can't link to her pattern (the brown and pink dot that matched the Gap edition of the Quest), but here's the same in another pattern:

It's also available as the Junior Techno XT in the Juicy Couture pattern

And as a toy Triumph Double stroller:

I thought it was a bit tounge in cheek to brand kid toys after expensive items that adults lust after (or just good marketing). Since the Maclaren toy strolller though, I feel like I'm seeing it everywhere!!!

I love the Joovy Doll Carseat (attaches with latch and has 5pt restraint)

PBK had a toy sized Dyson Ball vaccum cleaner. Can't find the link anymore, but here is another toy Dyson

The vaccum made me laugh... any other "toys" I'm missing!?!?

Can they make a toy dishwasher I can give my DH?
