When your kids start aging out of their stroller, you still need an easy way to move them (and all their stuff) around, whether you're doing theme parks on the regular or heading out for long neighbourhood walks with the dog. A great kids' wagon should feel comfy and safe for them, have enough room for gear, fold without a fight, and be smooth to push and pull.
We also love wagons with extras like cup holders for your morning coffee and their drink collection, extra-large sun canopies, and pop-on storage baskets for snacks, beach toys, and sports equipment. From luxury stroller wagons with space for four to compact wagons you can easily fit in the trunk, we’ve rounded up the best kids' wagons for wherever you’re going.
What to look for in the best kids' wagon
Regardless of your children’s ages, Jamie Grayson, a CPST and well-known expert in the baby gear space, recommends considering how the wagon folds and if it will fit into your vehicle. “Some wagons are great, but they fold up and are still large,” he says. If you plan on storing yours in the open position in your garage and only using it around the neighborhood, this may be a non-issue for your family.
“Look at things like canopies, weight limits, storage, and some will also allow you to put an infant car seat on them if that’s important,” he notes. Considerable legroom with several added inches is a biggie for older kids too. If you can, have them sit in one in-store to test it.
Easy steering is a must. “Some wagons you can only pull and not push. If you want the ability to do both, which comes in handy in sand and rougher terrain, get an appropriate wagon,” advises Grayson. Be sure it’s easy to steer with your kids sitting in it.

Best overall
Larktale Caravan V3
MerchantThe Larktale Caravan V3 is one of the roomiest stroller wagons on the market, with a 207‑pound total weight capacity, dual full‑coverage canopies and tons of built‑in storage, making it a great workhorse for families with multiple kids. The updated V3 design adds a handlebar console, a movable storage basket attachable to the front or back, and an easier no‑rethread harness system—so it feels more user‑friendly than earlier versions.
Kids can sit comfortably with plenty of legroom to spare in the spacious Larktale Caravan V3. "The quality is great, it has a footwell, you can push or pull it, and the fold is pretty solid for a wagon of its size," says Grayson.
We love the dual full-coverage sun canopies, which provide ample shade on a warm day. Kids find it fun to pull them both down to create their cozy hideaway from their parents, too.
All the everyday extras, like a self-levelling cup holder and a large storage basket, are included, and additional accessories are available if you want to customize your setup. Bring friends along for the ride—the Caravan converts into a four‑seater when you add the brand’s Double Seat Kits (sold separately), so it can grow with your family.
The seats feature multiple recline positions and generous weight limits, and the leatherette handlebar is adjustable to the perfect height for whoever is pushing or pulling. We also love all the fun colour options Larktale offers in the V3 lineup.
Pros
- Super roomy interior with lots of legroom
- Tons of built-in storage plus a movable basket (front and back)
- High 207 lb. total weight capacity
- Converts into a three‑ or four‑seater with Double Seat Kits (sold separately)
- Dual extra-large full-coverage sun canopies
- Convenient footwell for more comfortable seating
- 5‑point safety harnesses with easier no‑rethread design
- Adjustable leatherette handlebar
- Simple, relatively compact fold for its size
Cons
- Expensive
- Heavy and bulky compared to a basic wagon
Best budget
Baby Trend Expedition 2-in-1 Stroller Wagon PLUS
MerchantThe Baby Trend Expedition 2‑in‑1 Stroller Wagon PLUS gives you stroller‑level features—push and pull handles, a car seat adapter and a bundle of accessories—at a fraction of the price of premium stroller wagons, making it the best budget pick for families who don't want to compromise on function.
Everything you love about a stroller with all the perks of a pull wagon. The Baby Trend Expedition comes "at a terrific price point, has a nice handlebar and pull handle, and even includes a car seat adapter," says Grayson.
We love the handles for each mode (push or pull), making it easier for parents to maneuver in either. The pull handle even discreetly tucks away beneath the wagon when not in use.
Another solid selling point is the included accessories. Enjoy an attachable storage basket and parent console with cup holders, plus a snack tray (with even more cup holders). It even comes with two cup holders that attach to the wagon externally, because you can never have enough drinks. The wagon comes with an extra cushion, too, which converts into a tiny bed for naps on the go.
Pros
- Great value
- Tons of accessories included
- Separate handles for pushing and pulling
- Converts into a bed for naptime
- Folds easily
- All-terrain wheels
Cons
- Canopy is a bit flimsy and doesn't provide a ton of shade
Best foldable
Veer Cruiser
MerchantThe Veer Cruiser is our best foldable pick because it collapses quickly, breaks down compactly enough for most trunks, and can even be gate‑checked like a stroller, making it a dream for travel days and theme park marathons.
There's nothing worse than trying to fold a heavy wagon in the hot sun when your kids are fighting, and you've just walked 10,000 steps at the zoo and are beyond done. Enter the Veer Cruiser. "Not only is this a powerhouse of a stroller wagon, but the fold is unmatched," says Grayson.
For families looking to bring their kids' wagon with them everywhere, the Veer is an excellent choice. Only one hand is needed to collapse the walls and the handlebar, while the wheels pop off in just a couple of seconds to fit in your trunk, and the whole setup stores surprisingly compactly when you’re back home.
Another standout feature we love about the Veer is that when it gets dirty, you can just whip out your water hose and hose the entire thing down. For more on the Veer wagon, read our in-depth review.
Pros
- Incredibly easy to fold
- Lightweight
- Ideal for travel (can be gate-checked)
- Stylish design and advanced construction
- Holds up to 55 pounds per seat
- Can be purchased as a 4-seater
- Easy to clean
- JPMA Stroller Certified
- Adheres to all safety standards
Cons
- Sun canopies and storage basket are not included
- Harder to steer in push mode
Best lightweight
Joey Wagon
MerchantThe Joey Wagon earns our best lightweight spot because it weighs in at around 30–32 pounds yet still feels sturdy and well‑built, making it much easier to lift into the car than most stroller wagons. It’s ideal for grandparents or anyone with a smaller trunk who still wants a luxe, full‑featured wagon. It fits in the trunk of a Mini Cooper, y'all.
"This is the best, best, best compact wagon out there," writes one Amazon reviewer. "Yes, it is expensive, but it is so compact and very manageable in weight. I am 69 years old and I have two grandchildren, and I can take this in and out of the car easily when we go to the park or to the zoo. When my grandchildren are not in town visiting me, I can store this in my garage and it takes no space."
Each seat holds up to 55 pounds, and the Joey does come with quite a few accessories, including one UPF 50+ sun canopy, a large cup holder, inside pockets, a kids' snack tray, a storage basket and a key holder.
Pros
- Super lightweight
- Compact
- Easy to fold with one hand
- Stylish design
- Footwell
- Lots of accessories included
- High quality
Cons
- Only one sun canopy included
Best for the beach
Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Stroller Wagon
MerchantThe Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Stroller Wagon is our best beach pick because it can haul a ton of gear and kids at once, includes a built‑in cooler and has plenty of covered storage to keep snacks and essentials out of the sun, so you’re not making multiple trips across the sand. It’s a true pack‑mule wagon for full beach days and park outings.
Hitting the beach with kids is a whole thing, but the Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Stroller Wagon is sure to make the process a little less painful (on your back, especially). Load this bad boy up with all the towels and sand toys you can fit. Stash snacks and drinks in the included cooler, which can hold up to 16 cans. Stuff a change of clothes for the kids, sunscreen, your cell phone and keys, and all the other random stuff you'll bring in the roomy storage compartment and parent organizer.
"It fit everything of mine and my sister and our three kids including two beach chairs, two family tents, a kiddie pool, two diaper bags, etc. and I was able to pull it with no problem," says one Amazon reviewer.
For younger siblings, a car seat adapter is included so infants can ride safely. Use it in stroller mode with the two five‑point harness options or wagon mode if you just want to haul all your gear out to the beach and have the kids walk.
Pros
- Includes a beach cooler
- Lots of storage space
- Removable sun canopy with roll-down shades
- Easy-fold beach wagon
- Extra roomy for older kids
- Great value
- Fun for a beach trip or at the park
Cons
- Lower weight limit of 110 pounds
- Heavy
Best for siblings
Evenflo Pivot Xplore
MerchantThe Evenflo Pivot Xplore is our best pick for siblings because it comfortably fits two kids up to 55 pounds each, offers tons of shared storage and can be used with an infant car seat adapter so babies and big kids can ride together. The flip‑handle design also makes it easy for one parent to push or pull both kids over different types of terrain.
For babies and their big siblings, we love the Evenflo Pivot Xplore and so do thousands of Amazon reviewers, who rated it an impressive 4.7 out of 5 stars.
A quick flip of the height-adjustable, telescoping handle allows parents to easily move in and out of push and pull modes as they navigate all types of terrain. Whether you're loading up for a sibling's soccer game or taking your tribe to the local farmer's Market, this top-rated kids' wagon has loads of storage space.
An easy-access basket and plenty of pockets for water bottles, wipes, diapers, and tiny toys make it a winner. One side even folds down so toddlers can easily climb in and out all by themselves.
Pros
- Fits kids up to about age 5 or 55 pounds
- Lots of storage space
- Use from birth with a car seat adapter
- Individual UPF 50+ sun canopies
- Excellent price
- Lots of accessories included
- Footwell
Cons
- Car seat adapter and toddler seat sold separately
Best 4-seater
WonderFold W4 Luxe Pro
MerchantThe WonderFold W4 Luxe Pro makes it surprisingly easy to get around with three or four children in tow. It’s one of the most popular 4‑seater stroller wagons on the market, with a high total weight capacity and all‑terrain wheels that help keep the ride smooth on sidewalks, grass, and gravel.
Instead of fighting to juggle multiple strollers, you can buckle everyone into their own reclining seat with a 5‑point harness and still have room left over for snacks, toys, and jackets. The deep wagon‑style interior and generous legroom mean bigger kids don’t feel cramped, and the zip‑open front panel lets toddlers climb in and out by themselves so you’re not constantly lifting them.
Parents also appreciate the big, adjustable sun canopy that helps keep little ones shaded on hot days and the removable rear storage basket that’s perfect for diapers, towels, and all the random stuff kids hand you when they’re done carrying it. When you’re finished with your outing, the W4 folds up and can stand on its own, though, like any 4‑seater wagon, it’s going to take up a lot of trunk space.
Pros
- Seats up to four children
- High total weight capacity
- Individual reclining seats with 5-point harnesses
- All-terrain wheels with suspension
- Zippered front panel for easy kid access
- Large removable rear storage basket
- Adjustable sun canopy
- Fold-and-stand design
Cons
- Very heavy and bulky
- Takes up most of a trunk when folded
Best traditional
Radio Flyer 3‑in‑1 EZ Fold Wagon with Canopy
MerchantIf you’re looking for a classic wagon that still folds flat for storage, the Radio Flyer 3‑in‑1 EZ Fold Wagon with Canopy is a winner. It doubles as a roomy ride for two kids and a handy hauler for gear, all at a much lower price than most stroller wagons.
This versatile wagon easily switches between hauling mode, two-rider seating mode and bench mode, so it works just as well for neighbourhood walks as it does for backyard playdates and park picnics. The one-hand fold makes it simple to collapse and stash it in the trunk or garage, and the included canopy gives kids a bit of shade on sunny days.
Parents love that it feels like the nostalgic red wagon they grew up with, just with more safety and storage. The padded seats, two seatbelts and cup holders make it more comfortable for little riders, while the durable fabric sides and sturdy frame stand up to years of use.
Pros
- Budget-friendly price
- 3-in-1 design: hauling, two seats or bench
- One-hand fold for easy storage
- Canopy included for shade
- Padded seats with seatbelts
- Great for neighbourhood and park use
Cons
- Pull-only design (no push option)
- Not as feature-packed as stroller wagons
