Boxster or Z3?

[FC]

...for my 10-month nephew as a X-mass present.

P-car is $90, Z3 is $80-15% discount, but that doesn't really matter.

PLEASE don't call that a Z3 since we have one and the kids love it.

And from personal experience, you might want to wait until next year with that. I bought it for our daughter's first birthday and she was not able to really use it until she was at least 18 mos and didn't appreciate it until she was 2. Now our son is 2 and I can't get him off of it.

Understand our daughter was actually walking at 9 mos. Many/most kids don't walk until after a year.

They can't really hurt themselves at this age, but they won't really play with it. At best, you can set them on it and maybe take a picture before they climb off. They certainly won't be propelling themselves.

I always thought the Bimmers were cuter.

That's EXACTLY what I told my mom. ...That I was planning on getting him one next year (or at least no earlier than his B-day in March), but she says my sister is about to get him one, so I might as well get it for him.

EDIT: I remember playing w/ my little brother (I am 7.5 years older than him) when he was AT LEAST 1.5 yo. My mom seems to not remember this.

CLEARLY a Z3!

they're both chick cars, so I'd say neither

I really think it should wait anyway. Amazing how much they charge for a bunch of plastic. I thought they'd be ~$40. I bet they cost ~$5 to make.

The BMW is actually made by BMW and is nicer than one would expect. It's a high quality toy. It's definitely more than strictly a chunk of plastic.

I was actually surprised it was *only* ~$70.
