Here is something for your little Ernhardt or Danica--ultra sleek toy cars from Automoblox. Each toy car is made up of wooden "blocks" and plastic Lego-like pieces. The models range from compact to sports utility. The idea is that all of the pieces are interchangeable, so your little one is free to create a totally new model from the existing ones. The solid German beech wood is accented with brightly colored polycarb roof and matching rubber tires.

Each car conforms or exceeds the U.S.'s ASTM F963a guidelines, as well as the E.U.'s EN-71 standards. The craftsmanship is intended to be of heirloom quality, so that your child can pass it on to his/her child.

Architectdad bought a few for his cousin in Texas. He compared prices on various websites--including Automoblox--and ended up buying them from Amazon.com because it offered a slight discount.

BTW, we just received our Boon Flair high chair today (bought it from Amazon on Friday). Love it, love it, love it!!! Easy to assemble and clean. Fabulous!
