We researched 25 stroller wagons and chose 11 to purchase and test extensively. The Radio Flyer Discovery performed surprisingly well given that it is one-fourth the cost of some wagons we tested and half the price of most of its 2-seater peers. More important than the longevity of the souvenirs themselves, though, Pasin had indeed ensured the lasting popularity of his full-size frozen ride on toy product. In any case, the company was performing admirably in the midst of the Great Depression, churning out 1,500 wagons per day on average through a Ford-like assembly line process. The Radio Flyers and several other brands were marketed towards both boys and girls—a rarity—and eventually adults, since the wagons could serve just as well for gardening and other yard work.
Whether you’re looking for an upgrade or a new wagon for your littles, at Target you’re sure to find one to suit your needs and lifestyle. Built in 1989 as part of the “Centennial Celebration of Children,” the world’s largest Radio Flyer wagon is not just a sculpture to be viewed, but to be played on as well. The vintage toy replica stands 12 feet tall and is made of over 26 tons of concrete and steel. Children and adults alike are welcome to climb into the bed of the wagon, which is big enough to fit around 300 people. The giant white handle also acts as a slide so no one is tempted to just hop out of the towering toy.
Choose a classic razor ride ons or one of our contemporary folding wagons for kids. Whether you’re hauling gear across the yard or giving the little ones a ride to and from the park, you’ll find the kids wagon you need at Blain’s Farm & Fleet. The plastic red wagon can be used as a walker, as the handle locks into place. The handle can also be adjusted into a pull position so that the toy can be used in a fashion similar to that of the original wagon.
When not in use, it simply folds up and stands out of the way in our garage or entryway waiting for its next adventure. Once your base and handles are done, you get to add all the fun accessories to match. You can add a UV rain/sun canopy, a parent caddy, extra storage “trunk”, padded strap covers, etc. You can even personalize your stroller wagon with a name or phrase so you can find yours in a crowd when all your friends decide to buy one after they see yours.
It also can’t be overstated how much I absolutely love the “no drop” technology of the pull handle that keeps it upright and makes it so the pull handle never touches the ground. Even if you simply drop the pull handle without warning, it just springs back up, out of the way and ready to grab if you need it. A big thank you to Radio Flyer for sending razor ride ons us a custom-designed Radio Flyer Stroller Wagon for us to love and adore. No other form of monetary compensation was received in exchange for this rave review. Radio Flyer has been making wagons and wheeled toys forever so I wouldn’t question their engineering. However, the axel assembly doesn’t include ball bearings like most of the other wagons.
