The helmet comes in classic bright red, with an easy-to-secure strap placed underneath of the chin. It is recommended for children between the ages of 2 and 5. I really love the frozen ride on toy design of the UV shade, and it’s one of our favorite add-ons that we included in our Radio Flyer stroller wagon. Then, you can pop the shade off and it rolls up on its own.

A third child may also fit in the middle, especially if you are only going for a quick stroll. But for a little extra the canopy is a good investment as it can’t be added onto the cheaper model later. There’s also a push & pull version of this one that costs quite a bit more (around $200) but it also provides a more pram-like experience. If you are using the Radio Flyer 3-in-1 EZ Fold Wagon With Canopy to transport various items in one go, you will like the roomy compartment.

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 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.

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 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.

When a large group of deaf children posed for pictures with Mangum’s wagon, “that was a thrilling thing to see,” he said. He raised the frozen ride on toy driver’s seat about 8 inches, so he can see over the steel sides of the wagon, and installed extensions for the foot pedals. (He’s thinking of raising the steering wheel, too.) The three bench seats for passengers are raised 12 inches from the floor and have seat belts installed.

To mimic the original wagon’s rounded corners, Mangum split a length of large pipe four ways and welded a piece in each corner. He made a foldable black tongue with a handle that extends 12 feet above the ground. Mangum got the idea to build the wagon from a couple in Alaska who built a fiberglass, two-seater version based on a small truck chassis. Mangum wanted his to accomodate more passengers, so he started with a 1987 Ford ambulance equipped with a police package.

Overall, this collapsible cart is a good investment for a get outside easy. It proves useful whenever you go out for a walk at the park or hit the beach. This collapsible wagon’s DuraClean fabric is easy to maintain.
