Stroller wagons borrow the deep, open body of a wagon and add what a stroller has: a seat and harness for each child, a canopy, a parking brake and a push handle. They are popular with families who have two or more children, spend time outdoors and want room for snacks, jackets and gear in the same trip.
What to compare
- Seats and harnesses. Check there is a harness on every seat. Models in our reviews use three-point or five-point harnesses. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ stroller guidance calls for a five-point harness used on every ride.
- Weight limits. Per-seat limits in our reviews run from about 45 to 65 lbs, and totals differ from model to model. Add up your children and the gear you carry.
- Weight and fold. A wagon you cannot lift into the car stays in the garage. Compare wagon weight and folded size, not just seat count.
- Wheels. Smooth sidewalks suit almost any wheel; sand, gravel and soft ground favour larger or wider wheels.
