Wagon by Wishbone Design Studio
About Wishbone Design Studio
The journey of Wishbone Design Studio began in a cozy bathroom in New York City in 2005. As parents to two, Rich and Jen wanted to create something that would give their children a taste of the childhood they had. Memories full of long grass and fresh air where children played on their own. The days where you ran around and played until the dark set in. As a company, they strive to create designs that not only transform your experience but also reduce consumption and deliver a positive outcome for the environment. They were able to reduce consumption with their first creation of a bike that can take your child from age 1 all the way up to age 5. One of their mottos is (which Daily Mom stands firmly behind) “Maybe – just maybe – you’ll resist the temptation to ‘buy more stuff’ because what you’ve already got is great”. Because social, ethical and environmental sustainability is important to Wishbone Design in all aspects of their company, they strive to use raw materials whenever possible and pay close attention to where and how they manufacture.
Product
This year, Wishbone Design Studio introduced a new product. Their 3-in-one wagon is every bit as amazing as their original 3-in-one bike. This is SO MUCH more than just a wagon!

To stand behind their testament to products that stand the test of time, this wagon is great for ages 1-10.
The wagon has a low center of gravity and air filled tires and is crafted of birch plywood with a lightweight aluminum handle.

Battery Powered Monster Truck Ride-On by Radio Flyer
About Radio Flyer
For 97 years, Radio Flyer has been an American Icon; creating and withholding the standard for quality, classic children’s toys. It all started when 16-year-old Antonio Pasin found his calling after traveling to America in search of a better life. After working several jobs over the years in Chicago, skilled craftsman Pasin eventually saved enough money in 1917 to rent his own one-room workshop where he hand-crafted wooden wagons at night and sold them during the day.
By 1923, Pasin had a handful of employees, and his new company “Liberty Coaster” sold their “No. 4 Liberty Coaster” wooden wagons directly to stores. This was the first of many historic wagons in Radio Flyer’s history. In 1930, Liberty Coaster began producing steel wagons and became “Radio Steel and Manufacturing”. They were the world’s largest producer of toy coaster wagons. Pasin named the first steel wagon the “Radio Flyer”.
Over the next few decades, Radio Flyer became a household name, producing war gear, gardening carts, racer cars, ski sleds, motocross bikes, outdoor lawn furniture, mountain trikes and much more – all the while, staying true to Pasin’s wish from the very beginning of his journey to “bring joy to every boy and every girl”. In 2003, Antonio Pasin became the 44th toy innovator to be inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame.

The Gorilla Gym
About The Gorilla Gym
The company Gorilla Gym was started by two Boston-based entrepreneurs, Peter Velikin and Kiril Alexandrov, who were looking for a way to keep their children active while indoors. In turn they created the Gorilla Gym which is essentially an indoor “playground”. It began as just a door-mounted unit from which you would hang a swing and evolved into so much more. It is now a system with a wealth of options. The two eventually developed a number of attachments for boxing, yoga and other exercises — as well as additional indoor playground equipment such as trapezes, ropes and ladders. The Gorilla Gym has become a hit with families everywhere. After all, keeping kids active, healthy and happy even when they are stuck indoors is important.

It has a patented vise grip that adjusts to fit your door frame and adds a high level of security. These grips support swinging motions. And don’t worry, adults can enjoy it too because the Gorilla Gym can support up to 300 pounds. It will install in less than a minute and is portable, lightweight and fun.
The Gorilla Gym is as safe for your children as it is fun! The swings have been tested and certified according to the ASTM International Standards for home playground equipment. This is truly the world’s most versatile home gym for kids. It will provide countless hours of entertainment for your children, freeing up time for you to make dinner (or relax on the couch)!
