Kids' pull-along wagons are usually multi-function mini transport vehicles that require no fuel and are pulled by an attached handle.

So, which pull-along canopy wagon to buy?
The two wagons compared above are both quality products as confirmed by the 4.5 average rating given by Amazon customers at the time this article was written. They are both multi-function wagons good for a variety of use as the seats easily convert into a number of riding configurations depending on your family's needs. They both have whisper quiet wheels for a smooth ride. They both come with easily removable canopies that provide sun protection and that can fold compactly for easy storage or car transport. They both come with ample storage and safety belts.
However, the two wagons also present some important differences:
Radio Flyer wagon has a weight capacity of 200 lbs as opposed to 75 lbs for the Step2 wagon. Therefore, if you estimate that the combined weight of your kids and stored goods will be more than 75 lbs, you should consider the Radio Flyer Ultimate Comfort. Also, note that, as described in Note 2 above, Radio Flyer wagon provides more riding options than the Step2 wagon and can be installed with removable padded seats.
On the other hand, Step2 has a door that opens and closes while Radio Flyer doesn't, and the kids will have to step over or have an adult lift them in. But given that the height of the Radio Flyer wagon is lower than that of Step2 wagon, it should be pretty easy for the kids to step over the side and get in.
Finally, if price is an important consideration, you may want to consider the Step2 wagon as it costs almost half the price of a Radio Flyer wagon.
