The Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon Is The Perfect Wagon For The Kids
January 17th, 2018
For decades, children have been pulling bright red Radio Flyer wagons behind them, giving rides to stuffed animals and little brothers. Like all good things, the wagon has seen some changes over the years, and the new Pathfinder Wagon from Radio Flyer is every child’s dream. Using a specially designed plastic shell and new flip-up seats, the wagon can convert from a versatile storage center to a comfortable ride for two in a matter of seconds. When the seats are up, they become chair-backs for two riders, and when the seats are down, the space underneath can be used for storage while still leaving room for the kids on top.
The wagon come in its traditional red color and has four cup holders that are accessible when the seats are in either position. The Pathfinder also has a “smart” front axle that prevents the wagon from tipping over, like in the old days, and two seatbelts to keep the little ones in place. This wagon has won numerous top awards from organizations like the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio and the National Parenting Publication, so parents can be confident that this wagon is built to last. It does require some assembly, so be forewarned. The relationship between a child and their wagon is a special one, so go with a trusted model like the Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon.

The Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter Pink Is The Perfect First Scooter
May 16th, 2017
If you have been doing a lot of research on female child scooters, you might want to focus in on the Radio Flyer Little Miss Flyer My 1st Scooter. It presents a pretty solid package for entering the world of child scooters. It offers those little extra features, that help can help a young girl gain confidence as she continues to build her coordination and strength in riding. A lot of issues with scooters for young children is stability. Most scooters have either two wheels, one in the back/front, or three wheels with an extra wheel in the back. Even with two wheels in the rear, the ride can still be wobbly and tend to tip on turns.
This is very unsafe for a new, young rider. Radio Flyer has come to the rescue beautifully! They have put an extra wheel in the front and build the scooter with a much wider base. The base is also cleverly tapered to give little feet plenty of room to kick. It comes in a pink version prefect for a young girl. No worries about the setup, it comes fully assembled and ready for that first ride. Storage is a breeze for a child, just fold down the handle and store safety for the next journey. This durable, stable toy scooter will make your little girl feel like a pro from the very first stride.

The Enclosure On This Trampoline Will Keep Your Kids Out Of Trouble!
April 21st, 2017
If you are looking for a trampoline with enclosure, then a great option to consider is the Pure Fun 12-Foot Trampoline and Enclosure Set. This product is rather sturdy and the “W-shaped legs” really help to make sure that the kids will have a hard time tipping it over. One of the things that many appreciate is the way the enclosure attaches to the frame. It’s easy to attach and the zipper allows the kids to get in and out without much trouble. The pure fun trampoline has plenty of space, being 12 feet across, but it’s a little weak when it comes to maximum weight at only 250 pounds. Many of the other trampolines on the market can support a bit more weight than that.
So you will have to make sure your kids aren’t piling in there with all of their friends (which you know they’re going to want to do). The wide surface really provides a lot of room for jumping and acrobatics, which is what the kids really want to do when they get on the trampoline. Most of the parents who have shared their thoughts on this product have indicated that it provides a solid, sturdy surface on which the kids can play. Parents also report that the Pure Fun trampoline is relatively weather resistant and it’s okay to leave it uncovered in the rain. The biggest complaint across the board is the assembly that is required. The instructions are out of date and the assembly time is considerable.

Many of the reviews came from parents who had purchased the scooter for a young child, around 7 or 8 years of age.
