Have you heard of the Wonderfold Wagon?
The WonderFold Wagon can be a game-changer for families with babies, toddlers, multiples, and active lifestyles. I love it because it helps parents maintain routines, protect naps on the go, simplify travel, and make outings easier for everyone. While no piece of baby gear is magic, this is one of those products many families tell me they use every single day.
It’s no surprise that over the years they come out with new and improved baby gear but the Wonderfold Wagon Stroller is a new level of amazing!! I love learning about new tips, tricks or products to share with my clients especially when they are helping families maintain beautiful blissful sleep! Holidays are coming and the Wonderfold Wagon is a great item to add to your wishlist!
Need a convenient way to nap on the go? Got multiples? Toddler that loves standing up? Older kiddos in sports? Going away for a family trip? You’ve got to check out the Wonderfold Wagon Stroller.
Perfect for napping on the go- think “pack and play on wheels”. Baby naps while older kids can still enjoy the fun. The sides have blackout fabric and some models have an adjustable canopy that make this a great little blackout option that mimics their usual nap environment. Baby can nap on the way to the school bus stop! A client raved about how this product was an absolute life saver to maintain their 6 month old’s nap schedule while spending the entire day at a water park!
Need a way to contain little ones while outside or at older siblings activities- This is the perfect way to contain little ones without feeling like they are strapped down!
U-Boat- Load this thing down with ALL THE THINGS and roll right into the hotel. No more 100 trips to unload the car while one parent manages the kids in the hotel room. Walk in as a family, one trip and the car is unloaded and the family can be ready to enjoy the hotel pool within 15 minutes of check in!
Multiple kids? Wonderfold easily fits 4 kids and has huge weight limits so it will work way beyond when a child maxes out the weight limits of a typical stroller. (Up to 300 lbs total or 99 lbs per bench when using the seats for the W4 model). Check out all the options Wonderfold has!
Stroller or wagon- Use with the seats in or out. They are easily adjusted so you can use it with the seats out like a wagon or the seats in like a stroller.
Storage- The storage on this wagon is incredible. When you use the seats, there is SO much room to store everything under the seat and in the storage basket.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It can.
While it isn't designed to replace a crib or Pack 'n Play, many families find that the enclosed space, canopy options, and ability to create a familiar environment help children nap during long outings. As a sleep coach, I always encourage families to protect naps when possible, and this can be a helpful tool when you're away from home.
-
Yes.
One of the reasons families love the WonderFold Wagon is that it can accommodate multiple children while still offering storage and flexibility. For families with siblings close in age, it can simplify everything from neighborhood walks to vacations.
-
It depends on your family's needs.
Traditional strollers are often lighter and easier for quick errands. Wagon strollers tend to shine during longer outings, sporting events, theme parks, travel, and situations where you're managing multiple children and lots of gear.
-
Many families tell me yes.
One of the biggest travel stressors for parents is moving children, luggage, snacks, toys, and sleep gear from place to place. Having a wagon that carries both children and equipment can make travel days significantly easier.
-
Not directly.
No stroller, wagon, sound machine, or sleep product can teach independent sleep skills.
However, tools that help maintain routines and reduce overtiredness can absolutely support better sleep overall.

Sleep is Bliss, Let's Get you more!
It’s travel season! Be prepared with a What to Pack List!
TL;DR- Traveling doesn't have to ruin your child's sleep. By recreating your child's sleep environment, maintaining key parts of your routine, and packing a few strategic sleep essentials, you can help your baby or toddler sleep well while traveling and return home with sleep habits intact.
It's travel season! For families that FINALLY have their kids taking predictable naps and are enjoying BEAUTIFUL, BLISSFUL SLEEP the thoughts of “messing it up” by stepping out of their routine can be stressful. For families that are already sleep-deprived and struggling with getting the child to sleep at home, the idea of having to handle this while traveling can be overwhelming. Managing your child’s sleep while on vacation is possible and I am going to give you some tips to make everything easier!
Think ahead while packing what you need to maintain your optimal sleep environment!

Bring a white noise machine or small fan! This will help maintain your child’s routine at home and help them be more comfortable in their new environment. It is also a great way to drown out background noise if you are room sharing.
Does your child have a favorite lovie, stuffed animal or blanket? Make sure to pack these!
If your child is used to sleeping in a crib, call ahead to see if there is one available or bring a pack and play. You can also consider using a baby equipment rental company at your destination. If your child is sleeping in a bed, there are some great options for child air mattresses! **
Getting a child to sleep in bright rooms can be tricky while away! There are some great products available that ensure a quick and easy fix. Check out the Snooze shade or Slumberpod! These are also a must-have if you are room sharing while away! Check out my interview with the Creator of Snoozeshade
If your child is used to a sleep sack or swaddle make sure to pack them (plus some back ups).
What is your sleep routine with your little one? Do you read the same book every night or sing songs? Pack whatever you will need to maintain this routine as much as possible. Consistency helps children feel comfortable and know what to expect.
-
Usually not.
Many parents worry that one vacation will undo months of hard work, but that's rarely what happens. Children are incredibly adaptable. You may experience a few off nights while traveling, but most children return to their normal sleep routines once they're back home.
I often tell families: don't let the fear of sleep challenges stop you from making memories. Travel is temporary. Good sleep habits are long-term.
-
If I had to choose just one thing, I'd choose whatever makes your child's sleep environment feel familiar.
For some children that's a sound machine. For others it's their sleep sack, lovey, or portable blackout curtains.
Children sleep best when their environment sends the same message it sends at home:
"It's time for sleep."

The closer you can recreate home, the better.
I recommend:
Making the room as dark as possible
Using white noise
Following your normal bedtime routine
Bringing familiar sleep items
Allowing a little extra wind-down time
Most children adjust surprisingly quickly when those familiar cues are in place.
-
Don't panic.
Travel days are often messy sleep days. Focus on preventing overtiredness rather than achieving perfect naps.
Some naps may happen in a stroller, carrier, car seat, or travel crib—and that's okay.
One imperfect day won't create a long-term sleep problem.
Remember being consistent does not mean never changing the schedule or routine. It's important to be flexible and most importantly ENJOY YOUR TRIP! Don’t feel guilty if you need to offer your child a little more support while traveling to make them feel comfortable! When you get home, you can return back to your normal schedule and routines!
