These 7 Kids’ Wagons Will Keep You Cruisin’ with Storage and Style

Kids’ Wagons: More than Just a Toy

Kids’ wagons aren’t what they used to be. Newer models go beyond the traditional wagon design and come loaded with features like sun covers, snack trays, and all-terrain wheels for functionality and convenience. Think of them as larger strollers equipped to cart around multiple kids in comfort and style.

These options are perfect for older toddlers or preschoolers who may want to walk some of the time but don’t have the stamina for an entire morning at the zoo or the park. They’re also ideal for kids who feel too confined in a stroller or want to see the world more—every child is different and some may put up less of a fight with ample room to look around in a wagon. Plus, the storage options mean you can avoid carrying a packed diaper bag and throw everything you need in the wagon.

What to Look for in a Kid’s Wagon

Strollers are great, but when you have a lot of stuff to cart around or your older kids need a break from walking, a wagon is the way to go. There are dozens of wagon options on the market at a range of different prices. Here are some common features to look out for when comparing wagons:

• Multi-kid seating. Most wagons are designed for two children who can sit up well on their own, but some allow for up to four kids and others come with infant car seat adapters, perfect for an infant and a toddler. What is best for you comes down to the ages of your kids and how many will be riding in the wagon at a time. And, even if you have only one or two children, you might still want to spring for the multi-kid option so you can stash your stuff in the wagon instead.
• Sun and water covers. Protection from the sun is a big plus when you’re out and about. Many strollers come with canopies that are easily removable or fold down when you don’t need them. And some come with water covers to keep the kids dry just in case it starts to rain.
• Snack trays. Every parent knows snacks are key for an enjoyable outing. To help contain messes and spills, some wagons come with snack trays that snap right into the wagon, giving your kids a place to store their goldfish crackers. Some of these trays also have cup holders, so your kids have a designated spot to keep their sippy cups and you don’t have to help them find their water bottles at the bottom of the wagon every few minutes.
• Beach and all-terrain capabilities. If you’re planning to stay on paved roads, this may not be important to you, but if you know you want to take your wagon to the beach or on more rugged terrain, you’ll want to look for one equipped for the task. Some wagons are designed for this purpose with swivel-wheel steering and larger tires.
• Pulling vs pushing. Traditional wagons have one option for moving — pulling them behind you. But newer models allow you to pull, or they’re basically like a stroller, but bigger and with more storage. If you’ll be using your wagon often, getting one that is easy to maneuver in this way may be worth the investment.
• Fold function. This one’s important if you want to be able to take your wagon with you on the go. Bigger can be better for fitting more kids and stuff in, but you have to make sure that the wagon can fold up easily enough for you to transport if needed.

It can be hard to narrow down your choices, so we picked our eight favorite kid’s wagons to suit any lifestyle and budget.

Customer review:

“I absolutely love this wagon! I highly recommend it. Every time I’m out with it someone asks me where I got it & how cool it is. It’s so smooth, I love the shades, it’s easy to fold and unfold & I love all the cup holders. One thing I dislike is how hard it is to get into my sedan sometimes but it still fits just takes a bit of practice!” — Allee Baby review

Keep in mind:

At almost 35 pounds this option is on the heavier side and may be difficult to lift in and out of the trunk of a vehicle.

Customer review:

“I bought our w4 luxe about a month ago and I thought spending that kind of money I would have INSTANT buyers remorse, however I can tell you this is THE BEST purchase I have EVER made!!! We go on more family adventures than ever before. Even my big kids 7, 9, and 11 try to wiggle there way into the wagon! Not only is it very loved by our family but everyone who sees us in it stops to ask, what is it, where did you get it, that is SOO COOL! and everytime I tell them do yourself a favor invest in it [because] it is for sure one of the BEST purchases I have made in my 11 years of being a parent! Don’t let the price scare and overwhelm you it is worth EVERY PENNY!! Thank you wonderfold!!” — Wonderfold review

Keep in mind:

This option is on the pricier side so it’s definitely an investment, but it’s versatile with many uses so it could serve your family for many years, especially if you have more than two kids. Additionally, the wagon is heavier than most at 63 lbs. (with the seats installed), so it may be difficult to get in and out of the trunk.

“We live in the desert, so a wagon that could handle all terrain was a must for us! The veer was so far the only one that stood up to that challenge! We can take it through the dirt, gravel, grass and even sand without any problems! The canopy is a must for the hot Texas sun! The basket adds great additional storage too!” — Allee Baby Review

Keep in mind:
