Best gift for a 1 year old

My S had an engine that he could push around holding a handle in the back–great for a kid just learning to walk-- and a little later sit on and push with his feet/steer. It had a (quiet) horn to honk and a compartment under the seat that he could hide things in. He loved it.

The closest thing I can find is this, but it didn’t have all of the people graphics and so on:

Our kids loved wooden blocks and played with them from early on for about 15 years or more. Varying sizes and shapes were great.

Sorry, old thread.
