toys all over a carpet
Parents are drowning in their kids' toys.
  • Millennial parents are overwhelmed by the amount of toys their young kids have.
  • The price of toys has gone WAY down in the last 30 years, while nearly everything else is costlier.
  • Toys that cost $20 in 1993 would only cost $4.68 today. 

If you're the parent of young children, you may be dreading one aspect of the holiday season: accumulating more plastic toys. Despite millennial parents' best efforts to keep the junk at bay, somehow the toy bin keeps overflowing, and the Hot Wheels cars, knock-off Magna-Tiles, dolls, blocks, and Legos seem to always be underfoot.
