Best All-Terrain Wagons

10 articles in this section

“All-terrain” is a marketing term, not a standard. Two wagons that both claim it can behave very differently on grass, gravel or sand, so it is worth looking at what is actually underneath: wheel size and width, wheel material, suspension and how the wagon is steered. This page collects our guides and reviews for outdoor and rougher-ground use.

What makes the difference

  • Wheel size and width. Larger, wider wheels roll over obstacles and across soft ground more easily. Our all-terrain guide compares the wheels on each model.
  • Wheel type. Air-filled, rubber, EVA foam and “airless” wheels each have trade-offs in comfort, maintenance and grip.
  • Suspension. Several models in our reviews add spring or all-wheel suspension for comfort on rough surfaces.
  • Pull versus push. Some designs are tuned for pulling over rough ground; others handle best when pushed.
  • Weight. A rugged wagon is often a heavy one. Check you can lift it.

Frequently asked questions

What does all-terrain mean on a stroller wagon?

There is no formal definition. Manufacturers use it for wagons with larger or more robust wheels, and sometimes suspension. Compare the wheel size, width and material rather than relying on the label.

Can stroller wagons go on sand?

Some can, but it depends on the wheels. Small or narrow wheels sink in soft sand; larger or wider wheels cope better, and a few brands sell sand-specific wheel sets. See our beach wagon guide.

Do all-terrain wagons cost more?

Often, because larger wheels, suspension and sturdier frames add cost and weight, though prices vary widely and change. Use the current Amazon listing for today's price.
