95. Getting on the Wagon Bandwagon? Ergonomic Tips for Choosing a Stroller Wagon

Fall is wagon season! Sports fields, pumpkin patches, festivals, fairs and family adventures can have you wondering if it’s time to jump on the stroller wagon bandwagon.

But which wagon is best?

The answer depends on you, your kids and the way your family actually lives.

In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, Dr. Amanda Rabin, PT, DPT walks you through the ergonomic factors to consider before choosing a stroller wagon. We’re talking about how many kids you’re hauling, infant seats and buckles, terrain and wheel choice, adjustable handle heights, pushing versus pulling, storage, multifunctional features—and the part we often forget: folding, lifting and loading that giant wagon into the car.
