The old one is cooler. I still remember mine...
They are just chinese junk now this has nothing to do with American traditional toys.

The perfect wagon for current and future generations of spoiled, coddled brats who’ll live at home until they’re forty.
How did I ever live to see the sixth decade of life without safe and cushy crap like this? How did my parents survive into old age? It’s a mystery.
Just when you thought we couldn’t possibly spoil kids any more than they already are...
My dog wouldn’t ride in that.

That stinks! I still have two Radio-Flyers in my garage...
Reminds me of my ‘66 MGB. Of course my MG had cooler wire wheels, but the wagon looks like it might be a little roomier.

It’s got SEATBELTS for cryin’ out loud! Probably has brakes, too: that’s what God created feet for.
If I was a kid, my carcass would not be caught dead in the new Radio Flyer. It sucks. Totally.
Wow! Guess they’ll have to a remake of the original movie.

If you are a kid digging a hole to China, how are you supposed move dirt using the new Radio Flyer?
