Frequently Asked Questions About Collapsible Wagons for Kids & Cargo

What’s the difference between a collapsible cargo wagon and a utility wagon?

A collapsible cargo wagon is built for family adventures—think kids, snacks, and sideline
gear. A utility wagon is more your mulch-and-tools kind of ride, built for yard work and heavy-duty hauling, often without much thought for comfort or safety. Radio Flyer’s foldable wagons are made with families in mind, featuring padded seats, seatbelts, and canopies—perfect for real-life parenting, snack breaks, and “can you carry me?” moments.

How old should a child be for a foldable wagon?

Most foldable wagons are safe for little riders 12 months and up—as long as they can sit up
on their own with good head and neck control. Our fold-up wagons feature padded seats and harnesses to keep toddlers secure and comfortable on the go. Just be sure to check the age and weight guidelines for your foldable cargo wagon before you roll.

How does a folding cargo wagon compare to a stroller wagon?

They may look similar, but folding cargo wagons and stroller wagons are built for slightly different stages. Foldable wagons are great for toddlers and big kids who can hop in and out on their own—and many include push handles for easier maneuvering. Stroller wagons, like our Voya™ models, are more stroller-like by design and can be used from 6 months (or even from birth with a car seat attachment). They also come in both 2- and 4-seater styles. If you’re looking for a more stroller-like experience or have a growing crew, a stroller wagon might be the better fit.

Can you bring a collapsible wagon through TSA and on an airplane?

Yes! You can bring a collapsible wagon through TSA, but most airlines will ask you to
gate-check it or check it as baggage since it’s usually too big for the overhead bin. Many parents love to use folding wagons to get through the airport with kids and gear, then fold them up at the gate—just like a stroller. Some of our wagons even have compatible travel bag accessories. Always check your airline’s rules ahead of time (especially for international travel), but in general, a foldable wagon for kids is a travel-friendly option for families
on the go.

How do I clean and store my collapsible wagon when not in use?

Our folding wagons are made for snack crumbs, muddy shoes, and the occasional juice box
explosion. To clean your collapsible wagon, just spot-treat the fabric with mild soap and water, then let it air dry—no fancy instructions or panic required. And when the day’s adventure is over? Our foldable cargo wagons fold down small enough to stash in your trunk, closet, or even hang in the garage.
