Why would you want to buy a vehicle just because your kid likes it?

My life revolves around my kid. So ya. If it makes him happy to be in a car he loves and it fits the families needs, then why wouldn't I?

...because you're an adult who sees the bigger picture and don't have the lens of an 8 year old, but the focus of a man who's lived a few odd but hopefully even years?

Buy a real car, then weld some sheet metal panels to it. It will be 10x safer for your kid and they won't know the difference.

If he has to get a vehicle why not one his kid likes? What vehicle choice criteria do you find acceptable?

Safety, efficiency, and price.

Probably utility and price?
