Aren't  you afraid the wagon would tip and the kids get hurt.  If I remember
wagons were not always the most stable machine in the world. V

Hi,

Yeah, I believe that's the Step2 brand of wagon with the door and the seats 
that fold down.  I was almost going to buy one for Colyn but I didn't 
because I didn't need both seats.  Now I'm seriously thinking about buying 
one like it for the kids.  I think they'd really enjoy it, and that wagon, 
unlike others I've seen has seat belts.  Remus is already pulling himself up

on everything and soon he'll be trying to walk, so things with seatbelts are

a must these days.
