Radio Flyer: 100 years of America’s Little Red Wagon

This holiday season, gift your loved ones this fabulous keepsake Radio Flyer: 100 years of America’s Little Red Wagon book which chronicles the history of this classic brand for the first time.

With the holidays creeping closer and closer and ideas for gifts getting harder and harder (and let me tell you I am 100% in the boat with you especially as my kids get bigger and bigger!) I always go back to my standard of gifting…

Something you want.
Something you need.
Something to wear.
Something to read.

And today I am so excited to share with you that I have found a very cool gift idea in that “Something to Read” category! It’s a book that people of all ages will enjoy considering that many of us have grown up with the Radio Flyer brand whether it was passed down to you, gifted brand new, or you gifted one to someone else!

RADIO FLYER: 100 Years of America’s Little Red Wagon is a beautifully designed and illustrated keepsake book that looks in detail at an American icon as it celebrates its first centennial anniversary and embarks on its next 100 years. It is jam packed with 250 exclusive illustrations, stories and original drawings from the Radio Flyer Inc. archives and chronicles the history of this classic brand for the first time ever.

RADIO FLYER: 100 Years of America’s Little Red Wagon

The Radio Flyer brand is a story that starts with humble beginnings; Antonio Pasin was in search of opportunity and came to America where he found his calling. Not only did he find a better life for himself, but also his dreams put a smile on the face of millions of children across the nation. Antonio created a legacy of toys that continues to spark imagination and inspiration, as Radio Flyer is rediscovered with each new generation.

The pictures in this book alone are amazing. It was so fun to see so many old photos of children enjoying their brand new Radio Flyer toys…those vintage collectibles that many of us want to find and own now! What a shared experience many of us have with these toys and the memories we have of childhood freedom and how they inspired so much imagination and outdoor play. Did you know that Radio Flyer is the world’s leading builder of wagons, tricycles, pre-school scooters and other ride-ons. And this timeline of all the different lines Radio Flyer built was really fun to look at and figure out which ones we bought for our kids to play with when they were little and the years of the ones that were handed down to us. We have a Radio Flyer wagon that we use every summer when walking to see fireworks at the beach. And I love to see my kids’ imaginations when they create different stories for using it…it’s an airplane, a lemonade stand, a runaway train! And I really enjoyed the chapter about Radio Flyer on the Silver Screen. How many movies have you spotted a Radio Flyer in a scene? It really is an iconic brand! The Chicago-based company has more than 100 award-winning products available in 25 countries. Since 1917, the family-owned company has created icons of childhood, building a legacy of high quality, timeless and innovative toys that spark imagination and inspire outdoor, active play.

You can purchase Radio Flyer’s new book: 100 Years of America’s Little Red Wagon, on RadioFlyer.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books A Million and IndieBound this holiday season to spread the joy of America’s favorite toy brand.
