Would you buy your son a doll and doll pram if he asked?

We took my son to Smyths the other day and he asked for a doll and a pram. We bought him one but got very strange looks from a couple of other people in the shop as he's happily whizzing around with his new favourite toys 🤣

Kids don’t gender toys..they just go with what they like. I can’t imagine explaining to my son he can’t play with a toy because ‘it’s for a girl’.

Boys will see their dads pushing prams too so it seems very normal for him to want to do the same

@Dee exactly this, my 3 year old girl loves playing with cars and dinosaurs more than she does her pram and doll

Yes my son loved his doll and pram.

@Laurie so cute but respectfully that’s one of the ugliest dolls I’ve ever seen 😂

Maybe as a Xmas/bday present. My son played with my old toy pushchair but mainly used it to race round the house with. I get the impression that girls and boys play with prams slightly differently.

Yes, I have a son and when he starts choosing he can have what he likes 🥰🩵

The first thing my little boy ever asked for in the shop was a baby doll. He still plays with it now and gets a bottle to give it some milk and cuddles it when it’s “crying” 🥹 he is so caring! when his little sibling arrives I know he’s going to be so loving towards him/her x

My husband used to have a toy pram and a doll! He now can't wait to have our baby in his arms and he was so excited when we bought the pram 😂 If anybody says anything to you, point out that he's playing "dad" and see if they can give you a good reason for that being bad 🙄

@Giorgia I love that idea!

@Anonn aww that’s adorable! we are raising a generation of loving dads as well as mums, so think baby dolls/prams shouldn’t be put in just the girl section x

My son has one and loves it. Got it for him as we are expecting a second and want him to have his own baby. So when I feed baby sister, he can feed his baby. I don’t think prams and dolls are gendered toys - or at least they shouldn’t be. Do we not see men walking around with babies and strollers everyday? 😂

@Dee 😱 My boy is 10 now and still has him, I'd better not tell him you said that 😂

My son has his pram and his little dolly. She's dressed in pink with a pink dummy. He even has a little pink dolls house that he absolutely loves. I hate people that judge kids/their parents based on the toys they wanna play with. If my son wants a dolly, he can have a dolly! 🥰

Praying for a generation of men that weren’t pushed into being manly men and were allowed to express themselves however they please 💗

Yes. When we went shopping my son pointed at a doll and asked if he could have one, it came with a bottle and potty and he loved feeding it and making it "poo" 😂 he also enjoys playing with the play kitchen and often pushes his sisters toy pram and doll around. I have no issues, it's helping his imagination Also my daughter loves playing with cars and "boy toys", I think it's a good thing 😊 as long as they are happy

I put yes, but honestly no. I wouldn’t bc I’m cheap AF and wouldn’t buy it for my daughter either. It’s too big of a toy and my house is too small.

@Naomi lol. Same

I would buy my son one but my husband would be mad ash

IDC about people’s looks honestly I’m way over that stage. I get looks all the time for different reasons and I’m usually oblivious to them. He’s got pink soccer ball a purple bike handed down from his cousin. It’s not the only bike he has though 😂

I got my son a doll as one of his first toys with some trucks, animals, a BAB. It's one of his favorites.

@Shelby ok, let me rephrase that..kids don’t innately gender toys. We as a society tell them what’s for boys and girls.

If you want him to grow into a loving and caring daddy himself then surely it makes sense to??

My oldest is 18 and he had a toy kitchen and doll and pram

@Katie Yes! My son has a kitchen too, and a hoover, and a little cleaning cart with all the accessories 🤷🏻‍♀️
