Stroller wagons feature an impressive 2-in-1 design that allows you to push or pull precious cargo. They maneuver like a stroller, often with front swivel wheels, with ample cargo space to fit kids and necessities. The Pivot Xplore™ makes it easy and fun to embark on family adventures, indoors and out. With two kids in tow, you can transform it instantly from a stroller to a wagon and accommodate two or three kids up to five-years-old. As your family grows, you can add the toddler seat and car seat adapter (sold separately) for even greater versatility.
In addition, there are multiple exterior and interior storage compartments and a large center console to store snacks, drinks, and whatever else your child insists on bringing. With three ways to ride and tons of storage, the Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Stroller Wagon accommodates all young family members and cargo (110 pounds total). This stroller wagon transforms from car seat mode—with an included infant car seat adapter—to stroller and wagon modes. The Keenz 7S 2.0 emerged as the best overall stroller wagon thanks to its many useful features, great portability, and seamless maneuverability. This cushioned wagon stroller has two passenger seats (up to 55 pounds each) for children ages 12 months old and up to stretch and relax comfortably. We love the number of pockets for snacks, toys, a phone, and drinks and the detachable bags for even more storage.
One of the coolest features of this stroller wagon is the hideaway pull handle. It’s stored under the body of the wagon floor and pulls out when needed–and slips away when it isn’t. The Expedition Plus also includes a mat that transforms the wagon bed into a soft surface perfect for napping or chilling. (The same mat also folds into cushions to make the seats extra comfy.) We also love the flip-over storage evenflo wagon stroller basket and snack tray, extra-large canopy with a mosquito net and the easy fold. Although not a substitute for a double stroller, a stroller wagon is a good alternative for some families who need to get around with more than one child. If there’s a baby in the mix, a stroller wagon that accommodates an infant car seat and an older child is a must—and this one from Gladly Family does that and more.
However, its 34.5-pound weight felt heavy and made it difficult to maneuver on the sand. The Little Folks by Delta Children City Wagon Cruiser gave the Keenz 7S 2.0 a run for its money (at more than half the price). We love how the compact, sleek design is lightweight and features many storage options. For example, there are two cup holders and a pocket on the removable center console to store drinks and snacks—though we wish it had more room in the console’s pocket for toys and other items. The console’s material feels flimsy and is our least favorite part of the stroller wagon’s design. Still, you’ll find an additional cup holder and side pockets for adults to store their necessities, like a water bottle and phone.
Although the canopies can stay in place, we recommend removing them for a more compact fold. It features multiposition reclining seats for children ages 6 months up to 50 pounds each (but can hold up to 112 pounds total, including cargo). One of the seats folds down and zips to the other side to create a flat space for hauling cargo or on-the-go diaper changes. The padding on the seats is a little slice of luxury, but there’s no mesh, so we’re unsure how well the heavy material would fare in warmer weather.
