About Radio Flyer

What is Radio Flyer?

Radio Flyer is an iconic American toy company founded in 1917 by Italian immigrant Antonio Pasin in Chicago, Illinois. Best known for its classic Little Red Wagon, the company has evolved over more than a century into a leading designer and manufacturer of wagons, tricycles, scooters, ride-ons, and other children's products. Radio Flyer remains family-owned and operated, now led by the third generation of the Pasin family.

The company has sold over 100 million wagons since its founding and continues to innovate with products like the Tesla Model Y for Kids and electric ride-on vehicles. Radio Flyer's commitment to quality, imagination, and family values has made it a beloved household name across generations.
