I got a Radio Flyer wagon at Christmas when I was a kid, as did my daughter, and now my grandchildren have one. It’s wonderful that the classic wagon has remained true to original and that there are also new products, like the Walker Wagon pictured below, to fill the dreams of today’s kids!

My WWII era uncle and his wife made trips annually with one of their 4 grandchildren (a different one each year). We took my Mom with us to Florida in the 1980’s. Start early.
