Best Big-Kid Wagons

2 articles in this section

Many stroller wagons are designed around toddlers. Once children are five, six or older, the limits that matter change: per-seat weight, seat and legroom dimensions, and height. This page collects our guides for families whose children are bigger.

What changes with older children

  • Weight and height limits. Our Evenflo Pivot Xplore review notes a 39-inch height limit per child, and the BOB Renegade review lists a maximum child height of 44 inches. Check both numbers, not just weight.
  • Legroom and seat size. Larger children need seats and footwells that fit them.
  • Sturdier frames. Heavier riders put more load on wheels, frames and folding joints.
  • Whether a stroller wagon is the right tool. For children who can walk most of the way, a lighter wagon or a utility wagon may suit better, but follow the manufacturer’s guidance on riders.

Frequently asked questions

What weight limit do I need for big kids?

Add up the weight of the children who ride together and compare it with both the per-seat and the total limit. Our reviews list per-seat limits from about 45 to 65 lbs and totals up to 326 lbs on some four-seat models.

Is there a height limit on stroller wagons?

Often, yes. For example, our Evenflo Pivot Xplore review lists a 39-inch height limit per child. Check the manufacturer's page for the model you are considering.
