Buggy or Wagon?? Please help me decide...

[mykidsmom]

Does anyone have one of these? Which would you recommend for a 14 month old? I would like to get something that will last and that she will continue to use for a while. I am also open to suggestions for something else other then what I have posted here...

Thanks!

For us the decision was a bit easier. We received the buggy as a Xmas gift for DS. But he already received a push trike like this

Plus with the buggy, I kind of see a toddler getting bored of being pushed around eventually I would think he/she will want to pedal or go off on their own. Which is why I kind of like the trike we received better...however, I do like how the buggy has a seatbelt and can be used sooner at 9 months than the trike, DS can't even sit or reach the pedals yet maybe when he's older but it's okay. I suppose if you have extra money one of each is great but I just don't want an overflow of "junk" later.

So I wanted to return the buggy since it's kind of the similar to the push trike. We got the Pathfinder wagon since that is the other thing that DS doesn't have and that the giver had considered getting (her son chose the push buggy). I like the wagon for storage in the house...and when the summer comes DS can be taken for rides with his buddies (real or imaginary or stuffed) around the neighborhood until he is old enough to use it himself. I just think the wagon will get the most use out of all the items since it can be used way past toddlerhood and really I see myself using it later on when we go on picnics or things like that to help drag around DS and other goods.

The wagon is made quite well too it has really nice strudy rubber wheels and is sooooo easy to put together...it took me like 20 minutes to do and ta-da instant wagon.

Hope that helps your decision.

We have a wagon that we use for going to the park and DD loves it. A friend of mine has the Step 2 push buggy and all the kids seem to love it. My daughter has this -

and it by far is her favorite.
