The Best Stroller Wagons of 2024

Stroller wagons are so much fun! The best stroller wagons give kids the freedom to climb in and out safely by themselves, and enjoy the 360 degree views. They are great for any sort of long outdoor trips, including visits to zoos, parks, and even beaches, as they frequently come with all-terrain wheels.

Since it’s a wagon, you can use it for anything, such as unloading groceries from the car, doing large laundry runs, or for carrying a load of party essentials to set up your kid’s birthday party.

Stroller wagon vs double tandem stroller?

Wagons are great for children who resist being buckled up in a regular stroller. Tandem stroller seats usually have a 5 point harness, and “cocoon” the child in a slight recline. This is why bumper bars are popular, as kids like to hold themselves to sit up for a better view.

Additionally, as kids can easily get in and out of wagons by themselves, it may feel less babyish for kids who are growing out of their toddler phase.

Before we dive into the list, here are some data points to keep in mind.

• Weight – The weight of stroller wagons generally range from 26 lbs to 60 lbs with an average of 40 lbs. For comparison, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 full-sized stroller weighs 28.5 lbs without the 2nd seat.

• Folded size – Folded size can vary, as some fold down flat, and some stay upright. General ranges for 2-seater wagons are 29″-45″ in length, 19″-27″ in width, and 7″-38″ in height.

• Seating capacity – Even though stroller wagons are the go-to choice for families with 3 or more children, stroller wagons are practical and useful for families with 2 or fewer children too. This review includes both 2 seater strollers as well as 4 seater ones.

• Price – Prices range from $120 to $900. At the higher end, you have stroller wagons that accommodate 4 children instead of 2. And, as you can imagine, the more expensive the stroller, the more durable and therefore heavier it is, often with more functionality such as footwells, cup and toy holders, leather wrapped handles, etc.

Lastly, in addition to personal experience and extensive research, I’ve only included the best stroller wagons, with ratings of 4.6/5 and above, based on hundreds of reviews on Amazon.

2. BEST VALUE: Baby Trend Expedition 2-in-1

3. BEST BUDGET: Radio Flyer All-Terrain

This is the lightest and most compact wagon in our lineup – at 26 lbs, it is much lighter than the average of ~40 lbs. Radio Flyer is a company that creates wagons, trikes and scooters and has been trusted by parents for over 125 years. This wagon is simple in design, but offers great value due to its versatility.

Weight: 26 lbs

Cons

4. BEST PREMIUM: Veer Cruiser

The Veer Cruiser is the Rolls-Royce of wagons. Since wagons are mostly made for the outdoors, the Veer is the ultimate outdoor companion. The Veer Cruiser comes as a 2 seater for $699, and as a 4 seater for $799.

• Some users mention that they have difficulty steering the wagon, and that the stroller is better designed for pulling rather than being pushed. However this gets better with practice

5. BEST FOR LARGE FAMILIES: Wonderfold W4

The Wonderfold stroller is one of the most popular wagon stroller brands and has strong supporters in various mom groups. It is one of the largest, most robust strollers you can get, so it is also used by our own daycare center to safely take the kids out to the park. The Wonderfold is beast, and comes with all the bells and whistles you can imagine.

6. RUNNER-UP 2-SEATER: Jeep Sport All-Terrain

Jeep strollers are not actually manufactured by Jeep – their brand is licensed by a company called Delta Children, and Delta Children are one of the largest baby product manufacturers with products (mainly cribs) sold exclusively at Target, Gap, and Walmart.

This Jeep stroller wagon is very comparable to the Evenflo and Baby Trend wagons described above, but it is lighter and folds up flatter. However, this did not make the top choice due to the car seat facing sideways, non-all-terrain wheels, no exterior storage basket. The car seat adapter is not included, and at $50, the Jeep stroller would be more expensive than the Baby Trend if it were not on sale.

• Weighs less than the Baby Trend of Evenflo, same weight as the Veer
