Radio Flyer wagons have been a part of many childhoods over the past 100 years, making impressions on little ones and their families. When they make such an impact that they last into adulthood, we can’t help but smile!
Radio Flyer is a cultural touchstone for people of all ages since we began in 1917. We are excited to share the history of this icon in our new collectible, must-have keepsake, RADIO FLYER: 100 Years of America’s Little Red Wagon by Chief Wagon Officer, Robert Pasin.
We’re always so grateful to hear the ways you use our wagons to help others. This month’s Little Red Story comes from Makenna in Phoenix, Arizona. When she was nine, she saw a news story highlighting needs of the homeless community in her area. It dawned on Makenna that she could use her Radio Flyer wagon to collect coats to donate to a community in need. Within a few weeks, she collected over 100 coats and hauled them to the Phoenix Rescue Mission.
