Antique Radio Flyer Wagon

This gray non-slip footrest can be attached to Radio Flyer stroller trikes to help keep kids’ feet elevated and away from the pedals.

I have seen radio flyer wagons at local mercantile stores as of late and I’m sure there are some other places where they can be found. I have also noticed that these are not as easy to find as they used to be. If someone wants a Radio Flyer wagon but can’t find one locally, the Internet is a great place to shop.
