Do you know what this toy was called?
This is me in the yellow egg from 1974 we think it was made by Fisher Price, but we can't remember the name of the toy.

13. Were Step 2 toys/products being made back then?
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 11:43 AM by Whoa_Nelly
It looks like either a Step 2 or a Little Tikes

The reason it makes me think oif Step 2 is because of the face being similar in overall design to one of their toys like this:

16. Did you sit in a seat with your feet in holes like a walker?
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 12:20 PM by Gormy Cuss
It looks like a clever way to make a walker toy to me.

The boy(?) is enjoying his phone call -- he must be in sales.:-)

on edit: this would be called a "ride on toy" I think. In addition to the manufacturers already mentioned Coleco made this sort of toy in the 1970s-1980s too.

20. Haircut says bad barber or Mom makeover.
That's why I questioned the gender. Can't be sure from that angle. ;-)
We used to get very short haircuts during the week that school ended in June and were often confused for boys in the summer. The rest of the year my mother trimmed our bangs only!
