I thought I was giving my kids the best childhood ever until my 4-year-old asked why we didn't own a 'bigger golf cart'(www.businessinsider.com)

Fair enough, although I’d argue getting around the neighborhood is easier on a narrow vehicle that can carry some cargo and doesn’t depend on batteries. A golf cart has all the downsides of a car in day to day use and it’s slower and exposed to the elements. It’s probably a Veblen good in this case.

The US hasn’t really discovered Bakfiet bicycles yet.

Watching people take six kindergarten kids or a whole refrigerator on a bike through town in Berlin and Amsterdam was wonderful. They could do a pretty good Costco run on those things.

Yes, but mostly used by fat, old people.
