Benefits of Kids’ Wagons
Durability: Children’s wagons have a boxy, weighted shape that can roll over all sorts of ground with ease. The most advanced models can handle everything from the rocky dirt in your backyard to shelly sand at the beach. The tire specifications of a kids’ wagon will tell you just how “off-road” it can go.
Size: By design, kids’ wagons are meant to hold a lot without sacrificing mobility—whether that’s a lot of toys, a lot of children or a lot of pounds in general! That’s why parents love them for trips to the farmer’s market or park, where they can pack their kids, produce and picnic all in one place. Of course, you’ll want to pay mind to weight limits, age grades and safety instructions before stuffing them to the brim.
Versatility: Even the most basic kids’ wagons (simple carts with open tops) can be used in many different ways. Children can use one to tote their toys around (which develops their cleanup, organization and motor skills), while you can use one to tote them around. But as you’ll soon see, the possibilities don’t stop there. Some newer models can be adapted to cart around babies, toddlers and even multiple siblings at once. Check your model’s description to discover all the ways it can be (safely and properly) used.
Entertainment: Kids’ wagons are great because the bigger models let children ride along with their siblings or friends. Better yet, unlike with strollers, they can usually face each other for conversations and play. The top kids’ wagons also include space for toys, food and even drinks—yes, we’re talking cupholders! That way, your tyke can feel like they’re riding in supreme style, which may just convince them that they want to go run errands with you.
