These pull wagons are well-built and will safely transport your precious cargo wherever you go. These also make for great gift for kids of all ages.

While most parents own a stroller, there comes a time when the kids are just too big for the stroller, and it hardly gets used by the kids when you all are outdoors. But most kids need a little break when they are tired (at the zoo, park); a wagon can be a better option in such cases.

You can use a wagon for pulling kids around the block, the beach, the zoo, or any other place where kids may want to ride. The wagon can also be used to haul mulch around the yard during gardening when the seats are converted to a flat bed.

The following options are a selection of the best wagons for kids.

Kids Wagon: Buying Guide

What Wagon to Buy (Material)?
Lets take a look at the type of materials that are commonly used in wagons.

Metal Wagon
Wagons made of metal are highly durable and less likely to get damaged. However, metal is also very likely to rust over time, so if rains or snows a lot in your area, may be you should consider some other material. And metal can also get very hot under the sun (compared to wood or plastic).

Wood Wagon
Most wood wagons look nice and have that classic look, but may not be suitable in areas where it rains or snows a lot, as wood can easily warp and splinter if exposed to water. A wood wagon works best in a warm climate as wood doesn’t get very hot under the sun.

Plastic Wagon
Plastic is lighter than other materials so the overall weight of the wagon is greatly reduced in a plastic wagon. Besides, you can get attractive colors in plastic. These are best suited for toddlers. Plastic wagons also won’t rust or get hot under the sun (like a metal wagon). However, plastic is not as durable as metal and wood, and is likely to be damaged if the wight limit is exceeded. So adhere to the weight limit and use it on smooth surfaces.

Things to consider before buying a pull-along cart for your kids (or grandchildren):

• Need to accommodate how many kids?
• Age of the kids?
• Molded seats / seat belts required?
• Do you need storage space?
• Do you want thw wagon to fold in to a compact size, to take in the car trunk?
• Will the kids need a canopy?
• Will you use it for walks, trips with the kids or for moving stuff around in the garden, farm, yard?
• What sort of terrain will the wagon be used on?
• Do you hve preference for any specific material (plastic, wood/steel, fabric)?

Where to get the best deal on a kids wagon?
You can always visit a local toy store or big retailers like Toys R Us, Target or Wal-Mart; the advantage is that you can physically check out the wagon yourself to see if it suits your needs.

Nowadays, all these large retailers also have online stores, in case you’re pressed for time. Most buyers are likely to compare the prices on Amazon in order to get the best deal.

You can checkout the manufacturer’s website like Radioflyer.com, Littletikes.com, Step2.com, KidTraxToys.com, etc. But from my personal experience, you’re likely to find the best bargains on Amazon on your kids wagon.
