Many of today’s options function as hybrid models that you can push like a stroller or pull like a classic wagon, depending on what you’re carrying or what kind of terrain you’re trying to navigate. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore Stroller Wagon is exactly what it sounds like––both a stroller and a wagon all-in-one. It has an adjustable handle on it that can pivot positions and be locked into place for use as a stroller for pushing, or unlocked and extended to move freely to pull as a wagon. To unlock it, you apply pressure to the tabs located at the base of each handle and free it. It can easily be done with one person, but you will need both hands free to do it, so I always do it once I have put my baby in the seat. Evenflo wagon is incredibly easy it is to fold.
While most retailers will not let you test their wagons, it is worth it to borrow a wagon from other parents or friends before making the investment. Try reaching out on parenting or neighborhood groups to inquire whether you can go for a spin with your kids to make sure the wagon fits all of your storage and hauling needs. With its car seat adaptor evenflo stroller wagon attachment (that works with most major car seat brands), you can configure the wagon to safely carry two toddlers and an infant, according to Veer. This allows you to put your infant in the car seat and have two other kids sit on the bench seat. Wagons, in my experience, have evolved greatly since the rickety, wooden models from the ‘80s.
Before making a purchase, decide where and how you will store your wagon. If you live in an apartment without a lot of storage space you may want to purchase a wagon that folds up like the Radio Flyer on our list. Many of the larger, more rugged wagons can take up a large amount of space so determining the size of your storage before you place your order is crucial. Moving children and all of their stuff around can often feel like a full-time job and a logistical nightmare.
