Flip up Seats to Give Kids a Comfy Ride; Flip Seats Down for More Storage
Winner of awards including the National Parenting Publications Gold Award and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio's Gold Seal Award, the Pathfinder is smaller than the Radio Flyer's Ultimate Family Wagon, but still roomy. Two kids can ride comfortably, or one child can ride with plenty of extra room for storage. Even three smaller kids might be able to ride in this versatile wagon (but keep in mind there are only two seat belts).

The flip-up seats provide back support for the young ones, but don't recline, which would be nice for sleepy kids. The Pathfinder is made of sturdy plastic, in Radio Flyer's trademark red color. Assembling the wagon is fairly easy, but it does take a little time to get it right, and you should follow the illustrated instructions carefully.

A Classic Wagon Just Gets Better
Radio Flyer has been making wagons since 1923. Besides good, old-fashioned durability and great design, this solid wagon offers plenty of extras, including cup holders, an extra long handle, and flip-up seats. Safety features such as seat belts and non-tip turning are popular features for parents. The roominess of the Pathfinder means you can haul a lot of kids and toys, but beware, when fully loaded, it can get heavy.

    This is a fantastic wagon! I had searched the internet looking for the best wagon re: durability, comfort, capacity, price AND SAFETY. This is the only one that keeps your children securely in the wagon– providing a seat belt complete with between-the-legs strap. It handles very well both pulling and pushing, and takes corners without a hint of tipping. The handle stays upright when you’re not moving and doesnt pinch little fingers. The area between the wheels and the wagon is large enough for fingers to pass freely without pinching either. The wheels are quiet, and the cup holders have been a big hit for my three kids. Although it technically seats two, all three of my boys, (ages 4, 3, and 1 yr) have ridden in it at the same time—and it was still easy to move! I love this wagon and strongly recommend it!

    A very nice wagon!, June 15, 2003

    After doing much research to find the perfect wagon, we decided to buy this one for our 20 month old daughter. What a nice wagon! It assembled easily in a matter of minutes and the wheels are rubber which makes it a much nicer (and quieter) ride than the plastic wheels on other makes. We love the fact that this model has straps–this helps so that she doesn’t try to stand up and keeps her more in place. The seats fold down to make use for other jobs if needed. The cup holders are a nice touch too. This wagon seems to be one that our daughter will have fun growing in to and be able to cart her toys around in when she gets older. It is not too big and klunky or too tiny–it seems to be just the right size. A good buy!
