It's no secret that there are baddies out there, and keeping them from gaining access to our kids is so vitally important.

LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don't exist anymore

The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense.
