My in-laws have offered to buy a wagon for my DS's 1st birthday. We plan on TTC another baby soon so a wagon that works for two would be preferable, Thanks.

I really like my Radio Flyer ATW. It is big so two kids will fit easily, and there are all sorts of accessories for RF wagons - pads, parasols, coolers.

However, this has got to be the cutest wagon I have ever seen. If had not already purchased and assembled the RF wagon, I would have taken it back and bought this one.

I have one of the Mountain Boy Bambino sleds and it is beautiful, so I am sure the wagons must be also.

We've been really happy with this one, readily available at Target, etc.:

It's called the Radio Flyer Pathfinder, and I think it's roughly $65-75, depending on whether it's on sale.

If you do a search in this forum, you'll see a lot of posters have this one and love it.

The seats fold down, so it can be a "flatbed" wagon, but when they're up, two children can sit comfortably in molded seats. The wagon has seatbelts and 4 cupholders. Because it's plastic, it doesn't heat up in the sun too much.

I second the Pathfinder wagon especially for a 1 yr old. The seat belts for my almost 2 year old are sooo helpful. Love this wagon too!

Good luck,

Can't go wrong with the Pathfinder. Our 1 year old loved it and I'm sure his younger sibling will too.

Another vote for the pathfinder. The seats are pretty hard, so my DD's Grandma is making cushions for it. I am totally rolling my eyes, as I know my mom would have never, ever made cushions for me when I was a kid, but you know how Grandmas are!

I've never felt like we needed a wagon, but that Mountain Boy one is gorgeous!!

we have a Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon and we like it. Granted we only have DS right now but eventually plan and hope to have more kids. :)

Our other friends like it too and wanted to get one for their children too.

We love our Pathfinder wagon! We got it for dd and ds for their first birthday and we used it nonstop (pumpkin patch, trick or treating, parades) until they were almost two. Now that they are almost three it's a bit snug when they both get in it but they love to put stuff in it and pull it around the yard. We also use it to haul stuff when we go on family outings. We got it for less than $50 at Target. They usually have them on sale in the spring.
