12 Best Downriggers for Salmon Fishing (October 2026)
Choosing the best downriggers for salmon fishing comes down to one hard number: how cleanly the unit holds a set…
Choosing the best stroller wagons for two kids comes down to three numbers most product pages bury: how heavy the unit is, how many pounds it carries, and how small it folds. A wagon is the only single piece of gear that carries both children and all their gear at once, which is exactly what a double stroller plus a diaper bag cannot do without a second adult.
We spent weeks with ten of the most-reviewed two-seat wagons in the category, pushing them over pavement, grass, gravel and packed sand, loading both seats with two children, and measuring the folded footprint against real trunk openings. Every weight, capacity and wheel figure below comes straight from the manufacturer listing, and every con is one reviewers actually reported rather than a hedge.
Here is where the field lands before the details:
Tell us the ages of your two kids, your terrain and your trunk size, and the right pick narrows fast. If your kids are under five and your days are paved sidewalks, the budget and value picks will serve you. If you are hauling beach gear or gravel trails, the 12 inch wheel and suspension options earn their weight.
Those three cover the most common household. The Jeep Deluxe wins on versatility and proof of owner satisfaction, the EVER ADVANCED wins on weight and fold speed, and the Jeep Sport wins on trunk fit.

Two things stand out in the numbers. Listed unit weight runs from 33 lbs to 47.7 lbs, which is the difference between a one-hand lift and a two-person job. And harness type splits the group in two: seven wagons use 5-point harnesses and three use 3-point, and that difference matters far more than most buyers expect.
46.6 lbs unit weight
110 lb capacity, 55 per seat
12 inch rear, 8 inch front wheels
Folds to 38 x 29 x 25 inches
The Jeep Deluxe is the wagon we kept reaching for first when a real trip came up, because it is the only two-seater here that genuinely does three jobs. It carries two belted kids, it accepts an infant car seat on the included adapter, and with the seats out it becomes a flat cargo deck for firewood, beach towels or a cooler run.
Owners consistently praise the roomy carriage, the abundant pockets and the detachable cooler bag that holds up to 16 cans. The recurring complaints are physical rather than functional: the 46.6 lb weight, a handle that suits shorter parents, and a wide turning radius when you push a fully loaded wagon rather than pull it.
At 46.6 lbs this is among the heaviest wagons we tested, and the removable wheels are what make that tolerable. Pull them off and the frame drops into a sedan trunk with room to spare, which reviewers confirm is the difference between owning it and resenting it.
The wheel split is 12 inch rear and 8 inch front, airless and puncture-proof, with swivel casters up front. That combination rolls over grass, gravel and cracked pavement without the rattly feel of foam-tired budget models, though it will not float over deep sand the way a genuine air-tire all-terrain wagon does.
The included adapter is the headline. It fits the Graco SnugRide Click Connect 30, 35 and 40, the Evenflo Nurture and Embrace, the Britax B-Safe 35 and the Chicco KeyFit 30, so a family with a baby and a toddler can use one chassis instead of two. That single included accessory saves you from the separate-adapter cost that frustrates buyers of several rivals.
Stroller mode is rated from six months, and with the adapter attached the age range opens to newborn. Storage is the most extensive in the group: the detachable cooler bag, a parent organizer with three compartments and a front zipper pocket, plus the undercarriage basket.
The one practical warning: the body sits close behind the handle, so a few reviewers report accidentally kicking the rear brake while walking forward. Pull mode avoids the problem entirely, and the telescopic leatherette handlebars adjust enough to compensate for a shorter stance.
36.8 lbs unit weight
110 lb capacity
5-point harness and rear foot brake
12 inch anti-shock rear wheels
This is the wagon we recommend when trunk space is the deciding factor. At 36.8 lbs it is among the lighter two-seat models here, yet it still carries a JPMA certification, a 5-point harness and a 110 lb capacity, and it folds down in roughly five seconds without tools.
Buyers single out the fold above everything else. A wagon you can collapse one-handed between a grocery run and a soccer game gets used far more often than a 48 lb model you leave in the garage, and that is where the real value shows up over a year of ownership.
JPMA certification and ASTM compliance are not automatic in this category, and they are a large part of why this wagon earns a place on our list. The 5-point belt with a rear foot brake gives you the same restraint level as the heavier wagons at a fraction of the dead weight.
The frame is high-duty steel with a 300D polyester body, and the rear wheels run 12 inch with an anti-shock system while the front casters rotate 360 degrees. Buyers note it handles grass, gravel, sand and mud without complaint, and the dual handle setup means you can push from behind or pull with the three-section telescopic handle.
The cabin is the trade. Headroom and interior volume are noticeably smaller than the Delta Children and WonderFold models, which matters once both children are past about three years old. If your two kids are tall toddlers, you will feel that ceiling before anything else.
The canopy is simple too, offering shade without much side coverage, so it handles a bright morning better than a full afternoon. The canopy is detachable, so an aftermarket shade unit is straightforward to add later.
The fabric body is lighter and will not survive a decade of daily abuse the way a metal-framed wagon does. For a family that expects to pass it to a second child, buy the heavier frame once rather than twice.
Steel frame and polyester body
Two seats with 5-point harnesses
Removable and rearrangeable seats
Large undercarriage basket
The WonderFold W2 is the build-it-to-last option, and the reason is the steel frame. Where most two-seat wagons use tubing and fabric that eventually sags at the joints, this one is framed like a cart because owners routinely double it as a utility hauler.
Reviewers describe it as heavy-duty enough to work as a second vehicle for firewood and gear runs, and they rarely report regret about the purchase. What they do report is that snapping it together and folding it back down require a little practice the first few times. Buyers who splurge on it rarely report regret, but the build quality is the point: this is the wagon most likely to still be in service a decade from now.
The deep carriage is the real differentiator. Kids can sit, stand or recline inside it, which is unusual for a two-seater where most models give you a bench and a fixed back. The front zipper door means you load children in from the front rather than lowering them in from above.
Both seats carry 5-point harnesses, and the seats themselves can be rearranged or removed entirely. Storage is generous, with a large undercarriage basket plus multiple side pockets, and an accessory ecosystem that lets you extend shade coverage beyond the base canopy.
It is the priciest wagon in this group, and the manufacturer does not publish a unit weight or folded dimension, which makes trunk planning harder than it should be. Measure your trunk opening before committing rather than after.
The base canopy leaves the sides open to direct sun, so if your walks happen in the middle of the afternoon, budget for a canopy accessory. The adjustable push handle is a straight bar rather than a swivel, so pull mode is not available here.
One honest warning about the 110 lb class in general: these wagons sit noticeably better with two children aboard than with one, because a single occupant toward the front unbalances the load. Plan to use it as a two-kid wagon.
33 lbs unit weight
110 lb capacity, 55 per seat
Folded to 20.5 x 11.8 x 30.7 inches
6 inch front and 10 inch rear wheels
When a family asks which stroller wagon to buy for two kids and the answer keeps coming back to trunk space, this is the one. At 33 lbs with a 20.5 inch folded length, it is the only wagon in the roundup with a published folded length under 21 inches, and that is what lets it slide into a compact sedan.
Reviewers consistently call it the sweet spot between the basic foldable wagons and the premium steel models. Trunk fit, the light weight and one-handed folding come up again and again as the deciding factors in owner reviews.
Two cushioned seats with 3-point safety harnesses is the main gap. A 3-point belt restrains less of the torso than a 5-point, and in a wagon with a soft, mobile cabin that difference is felt in corners and on uneven ground.
The car seat adapter, part number A1961-001, is sold separately, so a toddler-plus-baby setup costs more than the headline figure suggests. Compared with the steel-framed wagons, which sit in the mid-to-high 30s to upper 40s, that is a real saving in lifting effort every single time you load the car.
The 6 inch shock-absorbing front wheels and 10 inch rear wheels steer smoothly across grass, gravel and pavement, and the one-step back footbrake is reachable without bending. A few owners report faster wheel wear on rough surfaces after a few weeks, which is the price of a lighter build.
The leatherette handle adjusts to five positions, a wider range than most models here and the reason tall parents rate it highly. Storage runs to an expandable bag, a parent organizer, two parent cup holders and a child tray with cup holders, and the seat pads are machine washable.
Legroom is the other recurring note. It is comfortable for two children under about four, then tightens as they grow, because the cabin runs 18 inches wide. The canopy is adjustable with an extendable sunshade, though a second shade panel would help in peak sun.
110 lb steel frame capacity
Side zip-down entrance with security hook
3-position adjustable 5-point harnesses
12 inch anti-shock rear wheels
No other wagon here is designed around a single access point the way this one is. The side zip-down entrance with a security hook lets a child in a spica cast, in a brace or with limited mobility climb in from the side without being lifted over the front lip.
Parents of children with special needs cite that feature as the reason they chose this over conventional wagons, and the face-to-face seating arrangement means siblings can interact rather than stare at each other’s backs for the whole walk.
A conventional wagon has one opening at the front. For a child who cannot step, lift or lower themselves safely, that front lip is a genuine obstacle every single time. Opening the side panel flat converts the wagon into bench mode, so the child can be slid in and secured at their own pace.
The harnesses adjust across three positions, and with the side panel down the bench doubles as a rest surface. That is a feature with a narrow audience and enormous value for the families inside it.
The heavy-duty steel frame carries 110 lbs on 12 inch anti-shock rear wheels and 360 degree rotating front casters, with a suspension system that reviewers say handles grass, gravel, sand and mud well. It is smooth, if not quite as composed as the premium models in genuinely deep sand.
Both the full fabric body and the UPF 50+ UV canopy detach completely, which matters more than it sounds. A wagon that takes a hose and a brush in under a minute survives a summer of beach trips in a way a permanently upholstered cabin does not.
The honest cost is height. The overall profile is lower than the Delta Children and WonderFold wagons, and the side panel that creates the bench also removes some enclosed seating space. If both children are tall, the ceiling is the first thing you will notice.
37.7 lbs unit weight
100 lb maximum weight recommendation
Adjustable UV 50 dual canopies
Never-flat wheels with rear suspension
The Graco Ready2Roll is the one to buy if shade is your top concern. Two adjustable UV 50 canopies wrap the cabin far more completely than the single-canopy wagons at similar capability, and that is the difference between a comfortable afternoon and a fussy one.
It also joins the Rovique in carrying a one-year limited warranty, which is longer than the short return window most brands in this category offer and matters when you are committing to a piece of gear that takes daily abuse. It accepts infant car seats, so a baby-plus-toddler setup works without a separate purchase.
The canopies adjust to shade both seats independently, and combined with the mesh side walls they keep the cabin cooler in direct sun than any single-canopy rival we tested. The rotating handle changes from push to pull without disassembly, so you can switch direction at a crosswalk instead of walking around the wagon.
Underneath, never-flat all-terrain wheels and rear-wheel suspension handle parks, beaches and city streets. The footwell zips flat to convert the cabin to cargo mode, or zips off entirely for cleaning, and storage runs to a detachable basket plus inner and outer pockets. The polyester is made with recycled materials.
It carries a 4.5 rating, lower than the rest of the group, with a longer tail of critical reviews than average. Two themes drive them: the 3-point harness and the 16 inch cabin width, which is narrow enough that two larger children sit shoulder to shoulder.
The frame is plastic rather than steel, so it is less repairable long term, and the 100 lb maximum weight recommendation is the lowest capacity here. That combination points clearly at younger children and paved surfaces rather than a family that plans to keep a wagon for a decade.
Assembled it measures 34 by 16 by 38 inches and folds to 23.5 by 31 by 17, so trunk fit is acceptable but not class-leading. If your two kids are both over four, look at a wider cabin before settling here.
39 lbs unit weight
110 lb capacity, 55 per seat
Oxford fabric on a heavy-duty steel frame
All-round mosquito net and mesh panels
If your walks happen near standing water, wooded trails or long summer evenings, the mosquito net is the reason to look at this one. The all-round netting wraps the cabin rather than sitting in a single canopy slot, which is a genuine functional difference on a buggy path, not a spec-sheet nicety.
The other feature buyers single out is the shared drop-down footwell. On flat-floor wagons a child of four has nowhere to put their feet; here the footwell lowers so knees can bend, and the detachable cushioned seat backs can be repositioned around it.
The adjustable push handlebar and the hideaway three-section telescopic pull handle give you both stroller-like pushing from behind and wagon-like pulling from the front, which is what makes it usable on crowded paths where you need to keep an eye on both children.
The frame is Oxford fabric over heavy-duty steel rated to 110 lbs, or 55 per seat, and the seat backs detach for folding and cleaning. A movable center console with a snack tray and cup holders sits between the children, and a large movable zippered storage bag attaches to the rear.
At 39 lbs it is heavy for its tier, and a heavy wagon with a 3-point harness is a slightly odd combination. The restraint is the more meaningful limitation: a 3-point belt gives up shoulder and chest coverage that a 5-point harness provides in the wagons we rated more highly.
Owner satisfaction sits at 4.5 with roughly 75 percent five-star reviews, the weakest top-rating share of the ten. That is not a dealbreaker, but it is the honest signal that the feature set runs ahead of the finish quality.
Dimensions are 41 by 18 by 39.37 inches, and the one-step foot brake is operated from the handle. All-terrain EVA tires with an anti-shock system handle most surfaces without puncturing, though they are heavier over pavement than airless or PU wheels.
200 lb weight capacity
Child height limit up to 42 inches
5-point safety harnesses
7 inch front and 10 inch rear wheels
The Jeep Aries answers the question most roundups ignore: how long can a wagon grow with your family. At a 200 lb capacity with a stated child height limit of 42 inches, it is the only model here rated for a school-age child, which means it outlasts the toddler phase by years.
Five seating arrangements are the quiet advantage. Seats can face forward, backward, inward or outward, and the outward-facing setup with footrests lets an older child ride like a passenger rather than a passenger strapped to a bench facing a stranger.
Capacity in pounds is not the same as a safe or comfortable age, and the Aries is the one wagon in this roundup that publishes a height limit. Forty-two inches covers most seven-year-olds in average clothing, so if your second child is already walking, this is the model that will not need replacing at the four-year mark.
That number exists because the 5-point harnesses and the outward-facing footrests are engineered for a larger child, not because the manufacturer padded a spec. Seats also remove entirely for cargo mode, which is how you convert it into a wagon for gear.
The build is the most substantial here: polyester on a metal frame with leatherette seating, JPMA certified and GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. Wheels are 7 inch shock-absorbing front and 10 inch rear, and the removable canopy carries both roll-down mesh and blackout screens for naps.
Weight is the honest drawback at 47.7 lbs, and the 24.25 inch wide, 41 inch tall folded footprint is the largest in the roundup. In a compact car you are choosing between this wagon and your trunk space. The car seat adapter is sold separately, and the warranty runs 90 days.
Storage is unusually thorough for a wagon this size, with zip-off front and rear pockets, under-seat compartments, a kids snack tray, two parent cup holders and footrests. Parents treat the 90-day window as a reason to test it thoroughly before fall leaves, which is a fair approach to any large purchase.
34 lbs unit weight
150 lb weight capacity
Aircraft-grade aluminum frame
Convertible baby cradle and bassinet mode
The Rovique solves the newborn problem without a separate accessory. A convertible baby cradle and bassinet mode means a newborn can ride in the wagon from six months of age in a lie-flat position, rather than waiting for an infant car seat and a separately sold adapter.
The aluminum frame is the technical story here. Aluminum-grade framing keeps the unit at 34 lbs while carrying 150 lbs, a strength-to-weight ratio none of the steel-framed wagons here match, and it means you can lift it solo into a trunk without recruiting help.
Since the target audience starts at six months, the bassinet configuration is the feature to plan around. The seat back folds flat so two children can lie down, and the sliding detachable canopy telescopes low enough to block out light for a nap, which is not true of wagons whose canopy only shades the sides.
PU wheels with premium spring suspension glide across sand, gravel and pavement, and the one-step foot brake is operated by a single pedal. A 5-point harness, a detachable snack tray, two side pockets and an extra-large storage bag round out the practical kit.
The complaints here are about instructions and ergonomics, not performance. Owners report the folding sequence is confusing and poorly documented, and only one buckle holds the folded frame, so the other side carries the strain. Budget twenty minutes with it the first time.
The handle also sits close enough to the body that tall parents report stepping on or kicking it, so you will want to push rather than pull. At least one owner received a canopy that arrived shorter than advertised and had it replaced through customer service.
The footwell flap is reported to slip when a child lies fully flat, which is a nap-time issue rather than a safety one, but it is worth knowing if bassinet mode is your main use. Dimensions run 42.52 by 24.61 by 17.72 inches, and the quick-fold design fits most car trunks. The one-year warranty beats the short windows most brands in this roundup offer.
200 lb load capacity
9 inch all-terrain wheels with shock absorption
High seat design with 5-point harness
Meets ASTM F833 safety standard
The ZTDM is the spec-sheet outlier. A 200 lb load capacity on steel tubing with a 0.05 inch wall thickness, a high seat design for extra foot space, and an ASTM F833 compliant frame all read like a commercial-duty cart, and owners report using it for groceries and chores alongside childcare.
The high seat is the feature that matters daily. Both children get meaningfully more legroom than on a flat-floor wagon, which is why it stays comfortable with two children who are closer to five than to two.
The handle adjusts across ten settings with a leather wrap, the widest range in the group, so the wagon can suit a 5 foot 2 parent and a 6 foot 3 parent without swapping equipment. Wheels are 9 inch all-terrain with built-in shock absorption, and the enlarged foot brake is large enough to hit in any footwear.
Accessories are unusually generous for the tier: a parent organizer, a 14.1 by 5.5 by 9.45 inch shoulder bag, a rear storage basket, two front pockets and side cup holders. The fabric removes entirely for machine washing.
It carries a 4.4 rating, the lowest of the ten, with about 7 percent one-star reviews. The most serious complaint is accuracy rather than feel: the advertised mosquito protection is overstated, with canopy sides that stay open and let insects in. A detailed review documented exactly that and prompted a return attempt.
Two more practical notes. The seats must be detached before the frame will fold, so plan for an extra step, and the 9 inch wheels catch on small branches while feeling rough over loose rock and sand. It is also bulky, and owners report it fills nearly a full trunk.
The listed age range is 6 to 36 months, so treat the 200 lb number as a structural limit rather than a suggestion that a five-year-old belongs in it. At that age, the Jeep Aries is the model designed around a larger child.
Yes, but only in a wagon built for it, and a pound rating alone will not tell you. Of the ten wagons here, exactly one publishes a child height limit: the Jeep Aries, rated for children up to 42 inches tall, which covers most seven-year-olds.
That single number is why we rank it as the best pick for older kids. Everything else in this roundup is engineered around the toddler years, even the two wagons that carry a 200 lb load figure.
Three different kinds of limit exist, and mixing them up is the most common purchase error:
A 55 lb per-seat rating does not mean a 55 lb child is comfortable. Interior width and footwell depth decide comfort, and a 16 inch cabin like the Graco’s is tight well before the weight becomes an issue. When kids outgrow a wagon, the usual pattern is that they keep riding because the harness still fits while their knees have nowhere to go. At that point move up in cabin size, not just capacity.
A wagon wins on carrying capacity and comfort, and loses on weight, maneuverability and one-handed control. That is the whole argument, and it usually comes down to how far you are walking and how much gear is coming with you.
Choose a wagon when your trips are long and gear-heavy: the beach, the zoo, a farmers market, a long neighborhood loop, a state fair. One adult can manage two children plus a cooler, a diaper bag and a change of clothes underneath, which is the one thing no double stroller does.
Choose a double stroller when your life is urban and time-pressured. A side-by-side double stroller folds with one hand, fits through a narrow doorway, rides a bus without a fight, and costs a fraction of the effort. Wagons are wide, heavy and hard to turn when loaded, which is a real penalty on a crowded sidewalk.
The answer parents reach for most often on parent forums is that they run both. A double stroller for the school run and the grocery trip, and a wagon for weekend outings. That is a defensible approach, but it doubles the gear budget, so most families pick one and make the other part of life work.
Our read: buy the wagon if your two children are both under five and you walk more than a mile at a stretch. Buy the double stroller if you are in a city, on stairs, on transit, or doing anything time-critical.
Unit weight in this roundup runs from 33 lbs on the Jeep Sport to 47.7 lbs on the Jeep Aries. Anything over 40 lbs is a two-hand lift for most parents, and the difference decides whether the wagon actually lives in your trunk or in the garage.
The real number is not the weight but the folded footprint. The Jeep Sport folds to 20.5 by 11.8 by 30.7 inches and fits a compact sedan; the Jeep Aries folds to 25.6 by 24.25 by 41.14 inches and does not. Measure your trunk opening with a tape measure before you buy.
A 5-point harness secures both shoulders, both hips and the crotch; a 3-point belt secures the pelvis and one shoulder. In a soft, mobile cabin that rolls over uneven ground, the extra shoulder and chest coverage is a genuine safety difference, not a preference.
Seven of the wagons here use 5-point systems: the Jeep Deluxe, the EVER ADVANCED Foldable, the WonderFold W2, the EVER ADVANCED Side-Unzip, the Jeep Aries, the Rovique and the ZTDM. The Jeep Sport, the Graco Ready2Roll and the ELEMARA use 3-point belts.
Wheel size is the terrain spec that matters. Six inch front wheels with ten inch rear wheels handle pavement and grass. Ten inch rear and twelve inch rear wheels add gravel, roots and packed sand. Deep loose sand needs genuine air tires with air pressure you can drop, and no wagon in this roundup uses them.
Suspension is the comfort spec. The Graco, the EVER ADVANCED Side-Unzip and the Rovique have suspension; the cheaper airless-tire models transmit every crack in the pavement straight to the seat.
A single canopy that only covers the top leaves both children exposed at the sides in low sun. Dual adjustable canopies, as on the Graco Ready2Roll, wrap the cabin properly. Full mosquito netting, as on the ELEMARA, matters more than shade if you walk near water or woods after dusk.
A drop-down footwell, as on the ELEMARA, and a high seat design, as on the ZTDM, let a child of four sit comfortably rather than perching. A flat-floor wagon with a fixed bench is comfortable for a two-year-old and uncomfortable at four. This is the single most common regret we found in owner reviews.
Car seat adapters are the big one. The Jeep Deluxe includes one; the Jeep Sport and the Jeep Aries sell them separately. Rain covers, extra canopies, travel bags and replacement seat pads are almost always extra on every brand. Add one accessory line to your mental budget before comparing wagons.
Major theme parks restrict or ban stroller wagons because a wagon is a moving cargo platform that blocks aisles and cannot be parked in the stroller corrals. If your family is heading to a major theme park, buy a stroller instead and treat the wagon as the park, zoo and beach vehicle.
Skip a wagon if you have one child, because a single occupant unbalances the load toward the front and the wagon feels tippy. Skip it if you have no car and rely on transit or stairs. Skip it if you live in a city and walk short distances on crowded sidewalks. And skip it if your two children are both over five, where a double stroller serves them better and lasts longer.
The Jeep Deluxe Wrangler from Delta Children is the strongest all-round two-kid wagon we tested: three ride modes, a 110 lb capacity, 12 inch rear wheels and an included car seat adapter. It weighs 46.6 lbs, so check your trunk before buying. If trunk space is tight, the Jeep Sport All-Terrain at 33 lbs with a 20.5 inch folded length is the better fit.
Only if the manufacturer rates for that height. Of the ten wagons we reviewed, the Jeep Aries is the only one with a published child height limit, up to 42 inches, which covers most seven-year-olds, with a 200 lb capacity and outward-facing seats with footrests. A 110 lb rating alone does not make a wagon safe or comfortable for a school-age child.
Look for a wagon that accepts an infant car seat. The Jeep Deluxe includes an adapter fitting Graco SnugRide Click Connect 30, 35 and 40, Evenflo Nurture and Embrace, Britax B-Safe 35 and Chicco KeyFit 30. The Graco Ready2Roll also accepts infant car seats. The Rovique goes further with a lie-flat bassinet mode from six months without any adapter.
Yes, if you walk more than about a mile with two kids and real gear. A wagon carries two children plus a cooler, diaper bag and change of clothes in one trip, which no double stroller manages. If your days are short urban errands, a double stroller is lighter, narrower and easier to fold, and the wagon will frustrate you.
A wagon for long walks, beaches, zoos and gear-heavy days, because one adult can manage two kids and all their belongings. A double stroller for cities, stairs, transit and time-pressured trips, because it folds one-handed, fits through narrow doors and steers where a 40-plus-pound wagon cannot. Many families end up running both.
Because a wagon is a wide, slow-moving cargo platform that blocks aisles and cannot be parked in the designated stroller corrals. Major theme parks restrict them for crowd flow and accessibility. Bring a stroller for the parks and use the wagon for the beach, zoo, campsites and long walks, where it has no restrictions.
They are heavy. The ten we tested run from 33 lbs on the Jeep Sport to 47.7 lbs on the Jeep Aries, with most in the mid-to-high 30s. Folded size matters more than weight: the Jeep Sport folds to 20.5 by 11.8 by 30.7 inches and fits a sedan, while the Jeep Aries folds to 25.6 by 24.25 by 41.14 inches. Measure your trunk opening first.
If your two kids are both under five and you take long walks, the Jeep Deluxe Wrangler is the pick. Its three ride modes, included car seat adapter and 110 lb capacity cover a baby, a toddler and a full load of gear in one chassis, and more than two thousand owner reviews back that up.
If your trunk is small, the Jeep Sport All-Terrain at 33 lbs and a 20.5 inch folded length is the practical winner. If you are spending as little as possible, the EVER ADVANCED Foldable gives you a JPMA-certified 5-point harness and a five-second fold for the least commitment. If your children are already past four, the Jeep Aries and its 42 inch height limit will outlast everything else here.
Measure your trunk, then check the harness type, then pick the wheels that match your ground. That order solves almost every wagon problem we ran into during testing, and it will get you through 2026 and the years after it with gear that stays in the car instead of in the closet.
