My child went from toys to electronics. Did they ever consider what kids play with now? He was playing on the computer at about 3 years old. I also wonder why they think young people would even want to have children with the current decline of the middle class? Young people cannot climb out of poverty, even with a college education. If you can't support a child, why have one? Birth control is much more affordable. Toy R Us also lost out to Amazon, which has lower prices and delivers to your door. Why don't these businesses ever compete? How much gets skimmed for the top? They could have become the toy delivery service. Sometimes you have to get out of your box.
