Steamer vs Air Fryer - Which will get the most use?

I am considering purchasing either a glass steamer or a glass air fryer. Both are around the same price point and take out approximately the same footprint on a countertop. My little one is about to turn two and I’d like a convenient way to make him vegetables as snacks throughout the day.

So, for the moms with experience for the 2-5 age range…which would we probably use more? I make most foods from scratch and bake several times a week. We are not a dino nugget kind of family but I do make these amazing popcorn chicken bites in the oven with grated broccoli stem and zucchini hidden in there 😉. I understand air fryers are great for crispy food like frozen nuggets, wings, or roasted vegetables. Steaming retains the most nutrients and makes soft vegetables. As he gets older, will he want more crispy foods?

Am I better off just buying a cheap steaming basket and batch steaming vegetables?
