Buying Guide
While baby strollers have an important spot on any new parent’s must-have list, pull-along wagons can be quite useful as well, even though they are more geared toward recreational fun.
Pull wagons are great for kids, who love being pulled around with their snacks, toys, drinks and buddies. Some are designed more for younger kids and come complete with safety belts and little storage compartments. Others may be appropriate for slightly older children. Be sure to check measurements and weight limits before buying, and follow all safety instructions.
Traditional-style children’s pull-along wagons are red and some have features like high-terrain tires, longer handles, higher seat backs and canopies. Safety should always be the most important concern, so again, make sure that the wagon is rated for the child’s age and weight.
Other types of pull-along wagons are designed for utility purposes only, and children should not be allowed to ride in them. Some of the wagons on the market are fine for both purposes, though. Read the product descriptions carefully before purchasing and also check to see if any assembly is needed.
What to Look For
- If you want to save your back, look for wagons with longer handles. That way, you won’t have to bend down as much to pull it.
- Kids don’t have to be just the passengers in pull-along wagons. They love pulling them, too. Just be sure that a parent or caregiver is watching to keep them safe.
- Pull-along wagons are also great to take to farmers’ markets, outdoor events and for gardening. You can load them up with gardening supplies, sports equipment, groceries and other items. Some of these wagons are collapsible, making them easier to load into the car.
More to Explore
The first Radio Flyer wagon was created by Antonio Pasin, who came to the U.S. from Italy in 1914. He started out selling his small wagons to area hardware stores around 1917, and by the 1920s, he began mass-producing the wagons with metal-stamping technology. The company’s early slogan was, “For every boy. For every girl.”
