We’re going to start this one off by saying… I’m 36 years oldand bought and played with my first set of slime last weekend. I’ve fallen down the TikTok rabbit hole of slime scoopability videos. I never for the life of me, would have thought, this is the most enjoyable thing to watch. So of course, I HAD to buy some. After playing with the slime for over an hour I decided my kids needed to partake in this fun too!*This post may contain affiliate links and I may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases!

My needs were pretty easy but there were endless possibilities. So, let’s dive into the options! The wagons that had 90% of the things I needed were; Keenz XC+, Jeep Wrangler Stroller Wagon, I circled back to the W2 and W4, and, The Larktale Caravan.
I ended up using two registries for our first pregnancy and will list them and the details about them below!
Wagons available in 2019 were slim pickings. I can name the brands available on one hand, at least, from what I can remember. Although the brands available were small, there were a ton of options. Even through my research, I wasn’t familiar with features such as footwells, parent consoles, and extra accessories. The Wonderfold Wagon at the time was available in a 2 seater and 4 seater and was the top contender and most loved and valued wagon among the stroller wagon groups. I was lucky enough to find a local mama with a W2 wagon and she left me to “test drive” it around the neighborhood. This was an absolute advantage for me because it let me quickly determine that Wonderfold was not for me. In my opinion, it was already too heavy and bulky. I loved that it had elevated seats and easy access for young toddlers to crawl in and out. The size, weight, push and not to mention price were a deal breaker for me.
Next up, were budget-friendly wagons. In this category, there were two available at the time. The Babytrend Expedition and the Evenflo Pivot Xplore. I’m going to be honest, I did very minimal research on the Babytrend wagon. From my research and the information I gathered from the stroller wagon groups, it was easy for me to rule that wagon out. Although, it’s a great budget wagon for families with 1 or 2 small children!
Let’s explore the Evenflo Pivot Xplore! When I originally decided this one was the one, I was planning for future babies. This wagon does have a car seat adaptor, but it only works with the Evenflo infant car seats. We had already purchased the Chicco infant car seat, so this setup was not going to work for us. The saving grace, and probably one of my favorite features of the Evenflo Pivot Xplore wagon is the second seat pictured below!
