Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon Red

Pathfinder Wagon Ages: 18 months+

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Safety belts, non-tip turning, and cup holders. The Challenging: Can be hard to pull if fully loaded, or could be too big to fit in compact cars (check the wagon dimensions if you plan to travel with it). In a Nutshell: A popular, award-winning, and durable wagon that will entertain your children for years.

The Radio Flyer's seats flip out, letting kids be comfortable as they ride. View larger.

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.

On the negative side...with the seats in use, there's not much room to tuck the diaper bag, snack bag or whatever, so packing light is a good idea. And, of course, the seats don't recline, so sleepy kids need to find other ways to get comfortable. We've also had a couple squirmishes over whose feet go where since they're all in the middle. I also tried to use the wagon with two toddlers and the baby in the seat, but it was too tight for three kids.

Overall, I'm thrilled with this wagon. And, by the way, I found it in a store near me for about half the price I would've paid if it were shipped to me. It's worth it to shop around.


Best Wagon out on the Market for both Parents & Children!!!!   May 24, 2005

My daughter received this wagon for Christmas and we've both loved using it! I love that the wagon comes with seatbacks & seatbeats, it has 4 cup holders that are also designed to hold juice boxes. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall & the wagon's handle is just right height for pulling the wagon. What is also nice is that the 2 front wheels are on casters so that you can move the wagon around VERY easily.

You can have your child sit in the wagon with the setbacks up which gives your 1 year old & older a nice place to sit with room for their legs. You can fold down the seatbacks & have the regular old fashion type of wagon that we grew up with. This is just the coolest wagon around!

Oh, the instructions where easy to read too! If you purchase this wagon you won't be disappointed, because when your children stop using you can easily use it to get mulch, plants, stones or bags of dirt, pool chemicals from your car to your backyard! Because the wagon is made using a hard plastic it is very easy to clean, just spray down with the hose the water runs out the 2 drain holes in the bottom!
