Child's Play
As the title suggests, this one is easy. It’s a meta that a four-year old could get. (If you don’t believe me, find a four-year old.) Official sources will neither confirm nor deny that this has been scraped from the bottom of the SSS barrel, but it should remove any diffidence new constructors might feel about submitting their own.
Thanks to @Abide and @Wendy Walker for test solving and to @Joe Ross for making it all accessible.
The answer is a mode of transportation.

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Bit of a rougher go for me (both grid and meta), but only because it targeted some of the many holes in my knowledge.
Still fun though. Thanks!

SSolved. Took me back several decades. One of the rare times I knew the answer before completing the grid.

Hmmph. I was taking the title too literally.
Stinky Pinkies!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Fun stuff Jay
Ffffffffigured out your method of transportation @Bird Lives, now here’s some in constant use around our gardens. My Cushman truckster and Buddy coming back from the arboretum on one of our many lawnmowers.
