“Children’s wagon” can mean three quite different things: a classic pull wagon, a folding utility wagon, or a stroller wagon with seats, harnesses and a canopy. This page brings together our buying guides, reviews and comparisons, so you can work out which type fits your family before you compare individual models.
Start with four questions
- How many children will ride? Two-seat wagons suit most families. Three or four children need a four-seat model.
- How old are they? Every manufacturer sets a minimum age and a weight limit for each seat. Several models in our reviews list 6 months (once a child can sit unassisted); others list 12 months or 2 years.
- Where will you use it? Pavement is easy for almost any wheel. Sand, gravel and soft grass are where wheel size, width and suspension start to matter.
- Can you lift and store it? The wagons we cover range from under 30 lbs to over 60 lbs, and folded sizes differ a lot. Measure your trunk first.
Not sure where you land? The Wagon Finder asks seven short questions and points you to the guides and reviews that fit.
