Folding is what turns a wagon from a backyard toy into something you can take to the park, the zoo or on a trip. But “folds” can mean very different things: a one-handed flip that stands on its own, or a multi-step routine that needs the canopy and seats removed first. This page collects our guides and reviews with folding, weight and trunk fit in mind.
What to check
- Wagon weight. You will lift it into the car every time. The two-seat wagons we compare range from about 28 to 47 lbs.
- Folded size. In our compact-wagon guide, folded sizes run from roughly 4 to 9.5 cubic feet. Compare the dimensions in the review with your trunk.
- What has to come off. Some wagons only fold small once the canopy is removed. Ask how many steps the fold takes.
- Self-standing. A wagon that stands upright when folded is easier to store and to roll into a car.
