Logicfest January 4, 2015 @Markerrag — I had one of those Radio Flyer wagons with wood panels to keep things inside. During the 1950s having a Radio Flyer® Wagon was almost a pre-requisite to being a child in America.

He explains that they only arrived at this, a workable, foldable wagon — now Radio Flyer’s best-selling variation of its red wagon — in 2016, after more than a decade of disasters. It’s not easy nowadays to pick a gift that kids will love as much as their parents do. Low-tech toys that spark creativity and imaginative play are the answer. And nothing fits the bill like Radio Flyer’s iconic red wagon. After the war, the factory went back to making wagons and developed several new models in tune with the times.

BUT, Radio Flyer is going above and beyond to make sure that there are smiles for miles as we are getting nearer to summertime, by opening a one day sale on their site. Fortunately for her and her family, Advocate Children’s had a radio flyer wagon that allowed Everly to explore and wonder beyond the four walls of her hospital room. Everly spent long periods of time in the ICU at Advocate Children’s Hospital. In times like this, the Radio Flyer Wagon is a welcome sight to a patient, parent or a sibling in a hospital.

The wagon’s all-steel body and no-scratch edges can hull up to 200 pounds and provide ultra-durability and protection. Moving around with the wagon has never been easier with its all-terrain wheels that can maneuver easily on any surface.

This product is designed as a full-sized wagon for kids and cargo that folds compactly and offers maximum storage space underneath the seats.

Since 2002, the company has produced plastic as well as metal-bodied wagons. The Hero Wagon redesign came about largely because the two organizations began to hear how hospital staff were customizing the wagons themselves to fit their needs, says Pasin. So Radio Flyer assembled a team of designers, researchers, and engineers to visit children’s hospitals and conduct interviews with nurses and families to learn firsthand about the user experience. These in-person customer discovery sessions were crucial to the product’s eventual design, Pasin notes. Before purchasing a wagon, consider its size and structure and what you’ll be using it for.

He loved to play around with designs and ended up creating what he called the “Liberty Coaster,” named after the Statue of Liberty that greeted all new immigrants in New York City. He used it to cart around his tools, which he used to build phonograph cabinets. Pretty soon, those wagons were selling faster than the cabinets. The Radio Flyer business was born in 1917, though it would be years before he would be known by that name. And yet, the humble son of a Venetian cabinet maker persevered and found his niche in Chicago, using his carpentry skills to create a popular line of wooden coaster wagons—starting with the brand name Liberty in 1917.
