It folds compactly yet still carries two kids with seats and belts.

For weatherproof plastic for two

Molded plastic seats, a high back and cup holders give rust-free seating for two toddlers.
Not for: Families short on storage, since it does not fold.
For all-terrain stroller-wagon
Veer Cruiser (line)
Its large wheels and push-pull design handle sand, trails and crowds like a stroller.
Not for: Buyers on a budget or who only need a backyard toy wagon.
What the AI looks for in Kids' Pull-Along Wagons
- Wheels
- Air or rubber tires for grass, gravel and sand; hard plastic wheels for pavement only. Plastic wheels are loud, bog down on soft ground and give a harsh ride.
- Seatbelts and sidewalls
- Belts and high sides are needed if you will carry toddlers rather than cargo. Small kids stand up and fall out of open-bed wagons.
- Fold and storage size
- Check the folded dimensions against your trunk. A wagon that does not fit in the car rarely goes on outings.
- Bed material
- Steel lasts but can rust when left out; plastic and fabric resist the weather. Outdoor storage habits decide how long it lasts.
- Weight capacity
- Match the rated capacity to the combined weight of kids and gear. Overloaded axles and fabric beds fail.
Brands that matter
- Radio Flyer: The default kids' wagon brand, steel and folding models.
- Step2: Molded plastic seated wagons.
- Veer: Premium all-terrain push-pull wagons.
- WonderFold: Stroller-style wagons for multiple kids.
What to avoid
- Folding utility wagons sold as kid carriers with no seats or belts
- Plastic-wheeled wagons for beach or trail use
