For generations, the Radio Flyer, the fire engine red wagon with the distinctive white logo emblazoned on its side, has fueled the imaginative adventures of children, transforming them into astronauts on a rocket ship to the moon, racecar drivers in the Indy 500, and pioneers traveling into the badlands of the Wild West. The Radio Flyer is the story of childhood, a story of wondrous journeys often accompanied by someone important: a parent, a sibling, a friend, a pet. Since 1917, the family-owned business Radio Flyer Inc. has created this cherished wagon, building a legacy of high quality, timeless, and innovative toys that spark childrens imaginations and inspire active play outdoors. With more than 100 million wagons sold, many of them passed down from generation to generation, Radio Flyers have carried, hauled, and fueled more hours of magical escapades than any other childrens ride-on toy in America.
