There are times when you want to push a lightweight stroller (going through the airport, for sure!) and times when you want to have a double stroller (trips to Disney World), but these days many families also make use of a stroller wagon (also referred to as a wagon stroller). The best of these heavy-duty haulers can be pushed or pulled and can happily seat two to four kids (often an infant and a toddler), plus a ton of stuff. Many of these work with one infant car seat; to our knowledge, no stroller wagon can accommodate more than one infant car seat.
Our top picks:
Buying a stroller wagon is worth it for so many reasons, such as if you frequently visit the beach or parks or if you spend weekends taking kids through farmers' markets or street festivals. It's also handy if you like to go out all day without having to run back to your car often, and if you're less concerned with maneuvering down crowded sidewalks and more concerned with, for instance, having a place to sit young kids while older siblings do Pee Wee soccer, etc. Other uses we've heard of: Taking kids around on Halloween, going up and down a long driveway if you live in a rural area, visiting a zoo, and even just going to the mall. Families who live in climates with frequent ice and snow say they find wagons easier to maneuver in wintertime than regular strollers. Where you should not take a stroller wagon: Disney. Disney World's policy is a hard "no" to stroller wagons in theme parks or water parks because they do take up a significant amount of space.
Our Good Housekeeping Institute's Parenting & Pets Lab constantly runs tests on baby items to find the best crib mattresses, baby formula and other baby products. To narrow down the best stroller wagons, our parenting product experts scoured the market to find the top contenders which we then tested with both experts and consumer testers for a variety of factors like maneuverability, ease of use on various terrains, comfort for both parents and kids and more.
