Happy birthday to son Ryan who turns 35 today. Here's a shot of Ryan with his "Big Wheels by Marx" birthday present in 1979. He stared his branding career at 3, as he always called the Big Wheel a 'Wheelo' - which make much more sense as was a mostly a wheel and it was a low to the ground - so his name Wheelo has always stuck with me.
There was an actual product at the time called a wheel-o which had a red wheel on a wire handle that rolled back and forth.

I remember the wire wheel-o, one of those 'Don't play, just watch!' toys...
