I think it is a great idea from Loews. On the other hand, I've never known anyone with a toddler who had money to spend.
I might argue with you on the need for supervision at these types of "playgrounds" at malls or other stores. I remember when I used to work at Waldenbooks, they opened a "Waldenkids" section at one of the larger stores in the area. Some lady dropped off her son and went off shopping in the rest of the shopping center. Her son walked right out of the store. Upon return she couldn't find her son and spent quit a bit of time yelling at the sales associates for not watching him. The son was wandering around the outside parking lot. A few weeks ago a couple of kids apparently caused a quite a bit of damage at a Walmart while the mother went grocery shopping (at a completely separate location). I've heard plenty of similar stories, although haven't experienced one first hand. Are these all urban legend or does this really happen? I don't see the "dad watches kid while mom shops" idea being applied enough in the "real world."
