Caitlin French, a midwife and mother, advocates for taking toddlers to arcades as an enjoyable, cost-effective activity. In her popular TikTok videos, she shares how her son enjoys the games without her needing to spend money. She believes toddlers are entertained by simply climbing on and off machines. Despite receiving criticism about whether it is exploitative, French remains steadfast in her approach, noting that her experiences at the arcade are still valuable a year later, supporting local businesses with small purchases while enjoying the low-cost entertainment.
Caitlin French emphasized her enjoyment of bringing her toddler to an arcade, stating "Take your toddlers to the arcade... He's having a great time. I've spent zero money." She believes this activity is a cost-effective way to entertain children without expectations of spending money on games, as toddlers often are not aware of the intention behind gameplay and simply enjoy the environment.
In her follow-up video, French addressed criticisms by stating, "A year later, it's still tried and true! Because he doesn't know - as soon as he climbs on, he climbs off and he's having a great time." She reiterated that her child enjoys playing without requiring financial expense.
