Radio Flyer Ranger Wagon

This wonderful wagon is a timeless classic that children and adults both adore. The famous red steel body is seamless, and has no-scratch edges, so children will not scrape themselves. The no-pinch ball joint gives the wagon a controlled turning radius, which prevents tipping. The extra-long handle for easy pulling, will fold under the wagon for compact storage. Steel wheels and rubber tires can stand up to the toughest terrain, and give children a smooth ride. The Ranger Wagon also features a seatback for comfortable rides and a child's seatbelt for extra safety.

Radio Flyer Umbrella Accessory

When the sun beats down over the long haul, this jaunty, adjustable red polyester umbrella transforms a little red wagon into a shady Conestoga. And it will serve you well should you be surprised by rain showers on your journey. You could also clamp it on a lawn chair, a cooler handle, a park railing, or a backpack strap. The neoprene-padded jaws of the sturdy plastic, 6.5-inch spring clamp move smoothly on 180-degree hinges, so the umbrella gets a flat, slip-proof grip on objects that are from an eighth of an inch to 2 inches thick--even on wet wood or slick metal. Made especially to sit pretty on a classic Radio Flyer wagon, the versatile, heavy-duty clamp also accommodates non-planar surfaces, such as a wide-lipped wall. Unfasten the Velcro closure and slide open a taut 26.5-inch diameter circle of shade made of chunky, top-quality materials. A 4-inch-long, .375-inch-diameter metal-spiraled neck above the clamp allows you to adjust the shade to any angle in any direction. This beauty is made to last as long as a Radio Flyer wagon! The umbrella is 30.75 inches long, and comes with instructions. Ava Natov
