Radio Flyer is known for their trusty red wagon – a rocketship, a space station, a pet hauler, an imagination platform with endless possibilities. You could even drag it up a hill and turn the handle around in an attempt to steer yourself to victory. Enough space for 2 or 3 kids, powered by developing muscles.
Now let’s turn our attention to their latest creation – the Radio Flyer Tesla. A car with a very specified purpose – to the be the king of the hill in childhood superiority. Space for one, an aux outlet for your kid’s iPhone, and enough room in the “frunk” for a tiny backpack full of supplies so he can run away from the dad who is never home and misses birthdays. Complete with personalized plate and parking sign! Alright!!
Not to be too harsh on the dads who spring for the fully-optioned $645 Tesla Model Kid, it’s only a couple hundred more than your average power wheels. But who the heck grew up actually owning one of those? It’s only a couple steps away from pony in my book. I can, however hypocritically, imagine myself buying one if I had kids right now But only if they were under the age of 5, after that you have to spring for real powersport equipment like a CRF 50 or TRX 90.
The Tesla Radio Flyer even has the same type of charging input as the big guy! Soooo cool how the tail light opens up to reveal the charging hole. Super spiffy little car.
So are you in? Well too bad hope that birthday isn’t coming up too soon because they’re all sold out for a few months.
