The 4 Best Stroller Wagons to Roll into Your Next Adventure

There’s a reason this wagon shows up on so many baby registries—and in so many park photos. The Veer City Cruiser takes everything parents love about a stroller wagon (space, versatility, durability) and dials it up with premium materials and design that’s built to last. In fact, once my second baby was around 18 months old, we rarely ever reached for our double stroller. “I didn't imagine that it would end up filling the role of both stroller and wagon, but it certainly has been great,” one Babylist parent shared

What I really love about the City Cruiser is the push: the City model has swivel wheels in front, which means it handles more like a stroller and turns easily, even in tight spaces. (Anyone who’s tried to steer a heavy wagon one-handed will appreciate the upgrade.)

And the all-terrain wheels actually live up to their name. From neighborhood walks to playground hauls to impromptu naps at the zoo, this wagon has handled it all. And it’s not just sturdy—it really allows you to optimize the setup for your specific needs. There are plenty of smart extras: beach wheels, a nap system, snack trays, car seat adapters and even a Switchback seat that works across other Veer gear. You can truly customize this wagon to fit your family’s needs and your kiddo’s stage. Cleaning is another major plus. Just hose it off and let it dry—no special fabric care required. 

Worth noting

• Although it folds pretty flat, it’ll take up a fair amount of space in your trunk. And at 32 lbs, it’s quite heavy for me to lift on my own, but much more manageable than the Wonderfold and Larktale below.

• It’s compatible with a ton of accessories, so you can really make it your own, but they’re all sold separately (which can add up). 

• The seats aren’t padded. While my kids have never complained about them being uncomfortable, they really liked the new seat pads.

• The 2 and 4-seater models are both car seat compatible (each adapter sold separately). Here is the full compatibility list.

Additional Specs

• Weight: 32.5 lbs

• Folded Dimensions: 37″L x 20″W x 14″H (wheels removed: 37″L x 20″W x 8″H

• Age and Weight Recommendations: 0-5 years; each passenger seat can hold up to 55 lbs and 45”

• Car Seat Compatibility: See list

Stroller wagons can get expensive—fast. If you’re looking for an everyday option that’s versatile but doesn’t break the bank, the Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a standout.

This two-seater wagon folds like a stroller, steers easily thanks to swiveling front wheels, and can be pushed or pulled depending on your terrain (just flip the handle). The polyurethane wheels hold up well on sidewalks, grass, and packed sand, though they may struggle on loose or uneven terrain.

While some wagons make you buy every add-on separately, the Pivot includes canopies, a snack tray, and a storage basket in the box, making it a great value from the start. And the fold, while not the most compact, is intuitive and doesn’t require you to remove all the accessories first.

For families who want a compact, easy-to-use, feature-loaded wagon for everyday errands and park runs, this one hits the mark.

Worth Noting

• Car seat compatibility is limited to Evenflo models only, and the adapter is sold separately.

• The footwell also can’t be zipped closed or flattened, which means no lie-flat option for napping on the go (unless you upgrade to the Pivot Xplore Dreamz model).

• The fold doesn’t lock in place and the handle sticks out slightly, which can make trunk storage tricky.

Additional Specs

• Weight: 34 lbs

• Dimensions: 39”H x 27”W x 45”L

• Age/Weight Limit: 6 months to 5 years; 55 lbs per seat; 120 lbs total including storage

• Car Seat Compatibility: Evenflo infant seats only (adapter sold separately)

For an even more affordable option, Baby Trend’s Expedition 2-in-1 Stroller Wagon checks a lot of boxes for under $200. It’s a pull-or-push two-seater wagon that works for either two children over six months or one baby and one older child if you pop on the included universal infant car seat adapter. (The adapter works with many of the best infant car seat brands, but be sure to double-check yours before you buy.) “I can tote my four-month-old and four-year-old in it for zoo trips and events while also storing other things I need,” one parent said in the Best Baby Products survey. “Maneuverability is great and everything rides smoothly!”

One of the coolest features of this stroller wagon is the hideaway pull handle. It’s stored under the body of the wagon floor and pulls out when needed–and slips away when it isn’t. The Expedition also comes with a lot of extras, a huge value considering this wagon’s cost. In addition to the universal car seat adapter and canopy, there’s also parent and child trays with cup holders, two exterior cup holders, and built-in netting to keep your little one bug-free.

A few not-so-great things parents note about this stroller wagon are its weight (it’s almost 40 pounds), the canopy size (it’s too small to provide ample shade, especially for two passengers) and the handle, which isn’t adjustable and can be uncomfortable for some users. And while the wagon does fold flat, the wheels don’t pop off nearly as easily as on other stroller wagons on our list, like the Veer, so storage can be an issue if space is limited. But considering the price, most parents don’t mind these slight inconveniences and would still recommend this stroller wagon.

Additional Specs

• Weight: 39.9 lbs

• Folded Dimensions: Unfolded: 43″ H x 26.2” W x 48” D; folded: 18.5” H x 26.2” W x 41.5” D

• Age and Weight Recommendations: When baby can sit upright unassisted (approx 6 mos) up to 55 lbs per seat

If you’ve got more than two kids—or just a whole lot of gear to bring along—the WonderFold W4 Luxe Pro is the closest thing to a family minivan on wheels. It’s built to haul up to four passengers and all their snacks, stuffies, and sunscreen, without skimping on comfort or maneuverability.

While quad wagons can feel like overkill, this one makes a strong case for itself. It’s surprisingly easy to push (even fully loaded), thanks to sturdy wheels and a strong suspension system. The vegan leather adjustable handlebar is a nice touch for tall or short caregivers, and it folds with less hassle than you'd expect—though it still takes up a lot of space.

What really sets this wagon apart? The features.

• Four removable, reclining seats (with magnetic harness buckles!)

• Parent- or forward-facing seat options (only on the Luxe Pro model)

• Extra-large canopy with great shade coverage

• Zippable mesh walls for airflow and privacy

The front-zip door is toddler gold—easy in, easy out—and there’s storage in just about every direction. It’s the kind of wagon you can load up for a weekend at the soccer field or a full day at Disneyland (if they allowed stroller wagons, that is).

Worth Noting

•  Size and weight are real tradeoffs. At over 50 pounds, this is not the wagon you casually toss into a trunk. We like to think of it as a “garage stroller wagon”—great for families who have the space to store it and need it often, but not ideal for everyday errands or quick trips.

• It’s not compatible with infant car seats, so you can only use it once baby reaches 6 months of age (and can sit unassisted).

Additional Specs

• Weight: 51 lbs

• Dimensions: Unfolded: 49” L x 21″ W x 52.5 ″ H; folded: 29” L x 29” W x 42” H

• Age and Weight Recommendations: 6+ mos; 99 lbs per bench (2 seats per bench), total weight capacity 300lbs

The Renegade is one of my favorite stroller wagons to push and steer—it’s so smooth and responsive. It also features good suspension, handles all types of terrain well, and is the only three-seater stroller wagon on our list.

For families who spend a lot of time outdoors—or just need serious hauling power for groceries, gear, or multiple kiddos—the Jeep Deluxe Wrangler Wagon is a great option. It combines the practical setup of a double stroller with the durability and storage of a utility wagon that’s built for real-life use.

This wagon comes loaded: two 5-point harness seats, a removable UV-blocking canopy with pull-down shades and an included car seat adapter compatible with a few popular infant car seats like Graco SnugRide and Chicco KeyFit 30. The real star, though, is the built-in storage: a parent console, cup holders, side pockets and even a removable cooler bag for snacks or drinks on the go.

Thanks to its puncture-proof, all-terrain tires, it handles bumpy sidewalks, grass and gravel better than most wagons in this price range. You can push or pull depending on what terrain you’re on (or your preference), and the dual leatherette handlebars adjust to suit different heights.

Still, for a utility-focused wagon that doesn’t skip comfort or storage—and works for babies through big kid years—it delivers a lot of function and value.

Worth noting

• While the fold is compact for a wagon, it’s one of the heavier wagons on our list, at over 46 lbs.

• Handle and fold design may not work well for all caregivers, especially shorter users.

• Some parents also noted that the steering takes some trial and error, especially in tight spaces or with heavier kids. 

• An infant car seat adapter is included, but only works with a limited range of seats.

Additional Specs

• Weight: 46.2 lbs

• Dimensions: Assembled (with canopy): 46”L x 29”W x 46”H; Folded: 38”L x 29”W x 25”H

• Age/Weight Limit: From birth with car seat adapter; 6 months+ in stroller mode; up to 110 lbs (55 lbs per seat)

• Car Seat Compatibility: Chicco KeyFit 30

If you’re a fan of the Evenflo stroller wagon and have a bigger budget, the Shyft Rideshare is a solid pick. It features much more rugged wheels than the Pivot Xplore, rear suspension and a drop-down side for easier ins and outs.
