Buying a Radio Flyer wagons for your child this Christmas will give your family endless fun and usefulness for you,the parents. Whether you go with the Classic Radio Flyer Red Wagon like the one we used to have as kids, they have not changed in seventy years or with one of the wooden-side Town And Country or even the fat tired wagons that can go all terrain.
I believe every child should have a little red wagon. I remember well the Christmas I got mine; I was six and the wagon lasted through my childhood. It was still around in my high school days. O the memories I have of times with that wagon! Behind our farmhouse was a steep hill going down into the woods; this was a great place to safely coast provided one avoided the trees until the ground leveled off.
Although the wagon was very sturdy, after years of abuse repairs had to be made to it. The great thing about that steel Radio Flyer was it was easily and economically repairable. A few screws, washers and cotter pins from the hardware store and even my collision damages were overcome.
Another great thing about the little Red Radio Flyer Wagon was it served well as a companion for solitary play or with other kids. Every child loves to be pulled around in the wagon.
A wagon takes on many imaginary vehicle names in play- sometimes it’s an old west wagon sometimes a transfer truck and at other times a downhill racer.
Helping mom and dad with gardening chores becomes fun when the wagon can be involved.
Someone wrote a parenting book a few years ago about the importance of building memories with children as they grow. Well, no better facilitator for building childhood memories can be found than a little red wagon. Another great thing about the little Red Radio Flyer Wagon. I finish, as I began, every child should own one at least one. Some families have found it useful to start off with one of the small sizes and move up to the Classic or Town and Country models..
