Radio Flyer makes those wittle wed wagons adults adore and kids covet. An icon of childhood play and imagination, the #18 Classic Red Wagon has rolled out of the plant for more than 70 years -- an American toy industry record and the reason Radio Flyer owns a majority of the US market. The company also makes plastic wagons and models with oversized, terrain-friendly tires and wooden rails. Radio Flyer makes bikes and trikes for little tykes, in addition to scooters and pedal-powered cars. Italian immigrant Antonio Pasin made his first Liberty Coaster in 1917. He chose the name "Radio Flyer" in 1933 because it sounded futuristic. His grandchildren own and operate the company.
