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...

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.

The trend that new toys are that they are specific in application which prevents kids from using their imagination. The old ones were so versatile and flexible that a kid could do so much with it that kids would play with it day after day with out tiring of it. The new styles are limiting and kids move on to find something to stimulate them. Something that these ergonomic, safety, “Pretty” toys can do.

Yikes! The new one looks like it was on ‘Pimp My Ride’. I’ll go old school, thanks.

Seatbelts?

OK. Seatbelts are a great idea in a vehicle. You’re surrounded by metal and plastic on all sides (unless it’s a convertible) and sudden deceleration could be fatal. Seatbelts keep you within the safe confines of a safety cage.

But on a wagon? There are virtually no sides. Definitely no roof. It has a high center of gravity. In other words, when the wagon tips over, as it eventually will, the kid strapped inside will be trapped, instead of just falling out.

I probably wouldn’t be alive today if my Radio Flyer had a seatbelt.

No, no, no, no, that's just wrong.

Is nothing sacred anymore?
