Play Outside Shorts
Description: Big Wheel is a brand of low-riding tricycle, made mostly of plastic, with a large front wheel and exceptionally low seat. Introduced by Louis Marx and Company in 1969 and manufactured in Girard, Pennsylvania, the Big Wheel was a very popular toy in the 1970s in the United States, partly because of its low cost and partly because consumer groups said it was a safer alternative to the traditional tricycle or bicycle. Its low center of gravity made it a stable tricycle for children to ride, minimizing both tip-overs and severity of any related falls.
Description: A black background with bold white text reading "YOU ARE NEVER", "TOO OLD", and "TO PLAY OUTSIDE" stacked vertically. Separating the lines are green horizontal lines with decorative white and green bursts. The bottom features a green tent, pine trees, and snow-capped mountains with radiating green lines behind them.
Description: Embrace your inner adventurer with this design featuring the playful phrase 'STILL PLAYS OUTSIDE'. Showcasing charming animal tracks, majestic mountains, and a bright sun, it captures the spirit of outdoor exploration. Perfect for nature lovers, hikers, campers, and anyone who enjoys spending time in the open air.
Description: In the year 1977, if you were just too big for a “Big Wheel,” there was only one alternative: Marx’s Green Machine. If you owned one, the other kids on your street would be “green” with envy. Selling for just under twenty dollars, this pedal-operated hot rod featured adjustable bucket seats, “hug the road tip-proof-design,” stick-shift controls and as per-size mag-style wheel with a honeycomb design on it. It was the perfect ride, according to promotional materials, “for guys 8 9, 10 years old who really know how to ride.” Hopefully, the green machine was for gals who knew how to ride too.
