If you’re the proud owner of small children, you’ve probably got extremely strong biceps – perhaps even on one side of your body – from carting them around.

My toddler is in her pushchair-hating-era but she also weighs roughly the same as my four-year-old, so there’s a lot of carrying involved on mine and her father’s part. It’s perhaps no wonder then that I’ve got the mother of crunchy necks and his lower back is shot to bits.

My four-year-old also likes to get in on the action, or she’ll just jump in the pushchair to avoid walking, which then prompts volcanic protests from my toddler (who doesn’t want to go in the pushchair, but also doesn’t want her sister to use it). Cue: SO much screeching.

This means, as far as holidays and festivals are concerned, I’m pretty reluctant to take them places where a lot of walking is required. We recently went to the opening of Disneyland’s World of Frozen, which was amazing, but I feel like my arms are still recovering from carrying our two-year-old around the ever-expanding park.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one.

With all this in mind, I can certainly understand why parents are turning to wagons to help get their kids from A to B.

More fun than riding in a pushchair, it means you can transport multiple kids, of multiple ages, wherever you need to go – whether that’s across fields, festivals, theme parks, shopping centres, playgrounds or your local beach.

The Nipper Wagon from Out’n’About is as wide as a standard four-wheel pushchair, but it has space for two passengers (or four if you upgrade with the 4-Seat Accessory).

The 12″ rear and 10″ front air-filled tyres can handle bumpy terrain. Kids can ride in it from birth up to seven years old – and it comes with a cup holder and rain cover.

It’s also easy to fold away so you can store it in the boot of your car (although check the measurements before buying!), garage or shed when it’s not in use. For smaller spaces, it’s best to remove the wheels.

If you’re off to Glastonbury or a similar festival, depending on how many children you’re transporting, you can also pop your bags or camping equipment in there so there’s less to carry.

With UK summers seemingly getting hotter and more intense, you’ll be pleased to know the wagon comes with an adjustable sun canopy, safety harnesses to keep tiny passengers safe, as well as a pull strap and tyre pump.

The wagon also has handy pockets dotted around so you can have your water bottles, snacks, sun cream, toys and whatever else you may need close to hand.

One childminder gave it a five-star review, noting they can fit up to four children in there (although this is a “squeeze”).

″[I] Can push with one hand with two toddlers on even ground,” they added, and there are “lots of little pockets for drinks and small snacks”.

Another said: “Love this wagon – so easy to move even with older kids in. Great for shopping too! Fits so much in. Great for childminding too.”

Parents are also obsessed. One said they took it to Australia and “went off road a few times, including beach trips”. They noted airlines treated it as a pushchair, so it was helpful for carrying luggage around airports.

Another said: “My two boys love it!! it’s already making our family outings so much easier and more fun. Highly recommend!”

Some caveated it can be heavy to push when loaded up with kids and belongings – but let’s be real, it can’t be harder than carrying kids AND bags around.

Give your biceps a break this summer, you’ve more than earned it.
