Tanks for Tots

March/April 2004 Issue


Ten-inch steel wheels. Nothing but a hard-metal bed and four-and-a-half-inch walls separating you from the asphalt. The Radio Flyer. Since 1927—built for speed, not for comfort.

Yet even the iconic wagon has gotten a makeover befitting the supersize times. Witness the Radio Flyer Discovery, the—how else to put it?—Land Rover of children's wagons. With an extra eight inches bumper to bumper, 10-inch-high plastic walls, room for five, real cup holders, and a "super large volume" storage compartment built to cool a 12-pack, this 36-pound mammoth has everything your child needs in a Sport Utility Wagon. Unless, of course, what your child really needs are two molded plastic seats, a working door, and Monroe™ shock absorbers—in which case we'd suggest (and we swear we're not making this up) the Radio Flyer Navigator.
