Winter Accessories for Wagons: the Ultimate Guide to Cold Weather Adventures

Winter accessories for wagons

Veer invented the stroller wagon crossover in 2017, so when it comes to which accessories allow wagons to perform in different weather and terrains, it’s in our DNA.

From premium leather grips to finger-safe fans that keep your baby cool, wagon modifications are what we live and breathe.

When it comes to taming the snow, there’s a variety of extras to choose from depending on your activity and preference.

Winter may bring chilly air and snowy paths, but it doesn’t mean your family adventures need to hibernate. With the right accessories, your wagon can transform into a cozy, all-terrain winter wonder, keeping your little ones snug and safe while making your outings stress-free and enjoyable.

Here’s your guide to the best winter accessories for wagons, ensuring your cold-weather outings are nothing short of magical.

Winter Wagon Accessories

1. Cozy Warmth: Accessories to Keep Your Little Ones Snug

Cold conditions can make toddlers uncomfortable quickly. Keeping your kids warm is the first step to a successful winter outing.

Insulated Wagon Liners

Add a layer of warmth and cushioning with padded liners made from fleece or thermal materials. They’re easy to install and create a snug space for your little passengers. Veer offers a Comfort Seat for 2-seat and 4-seat cruisers, designed for children from 6 months of age to 35 lbs.

Go next level in chilly conditions with the Shearling Seat Cover (available for 2-seat Cruisers only).

Look into any liners specific to your brand and decide if it’s going to be the difference maker for your winter wagon.

Blankets

Blankets are like snacks—can you ever really bring too much? If you opt out of a liner, be sure to bring plenty of blankets on any winter excursion, to keep little bottoms warm and dry.

Compact, weather-resistant blankets are perfect for wrapping up toddlers or lining the inside of a wagon.

With snaps that help stay put, and interior pockets for cold hands, the Child Adventure Blanket was built for such an occasion.

Heavy duty, outdoor ready…make sure each rider has at least one blanket to help stay snuggly. And who said sleeping bags are for camping only? Whatever your child likes best and will help keep them warm, consider bringing sleeping bags along your winter trek in the wagon.

Bottom line: bring plenty of coverings, and keep your little passengers covered.

2. Weatherproofing Your Wagon

Now that we’re wheeling a wagon filled with kiddos and blankets, it’s time to consider how we keep them from getting wet.

Don’t let it rain (or snow) on your parade—protect your wagon and passengers from the elements.

Winter Covers

Waterproof covers shield your wagon from snow, wind and rain, creating a cozy, enclosed environment.

Coverings for your wagon will save you from packing it in when the precipitation falls.

Canopy Extensions

A summertime must, canopies also offer several advantages in inclement weather, shielding heavy gusts of wind and offering solid protection from the rain and snow.

Attach visors to two canopies and you’ve created near total protection from rainfall inside the wagon, while still allowing ample view for your favorite little riders.

3. Family-Friendly Comforts

Hey parents like to be pampered, too! Winter adventures are more enjoyable when the whole family has all those little extras to keep everyone comfortable.

Storage Solutions

Deck out your stroller wagon out with enough storage capacity to keep all those winter clothes, blankets and toys contained, with cargo nets, foldable storage baskets and beyond.

The unique Catch All from Veer is perfect not just for quick access to handheld objects like your phone or keys but for 18 oz bottles as well, while the Catch All XL can hold up to 26 oz drinks. With a variety of color options, the Catch All is the go-to spot for gloves, mittens, beanies and all your keep-close winter items.

“Winter-ready” typically means extra blankets, clothing and snacks. Make sure you’ve got room to bring it all along for the ride.

Snack Stations

Snacks. As a parent, never leave home without them!

Installing detachable snack trays is key for easy access to warm drinks and treats. Nothing says holidays like some hot cocoa in spill-proof mugs.

Festive Decorations

Whether it’s a full on Halloween wagon costume or just a little seasonal Christmas wagon decor, creating your own way to be festive is always fun for the family. Deck out your wagon with battery-operated string lights or winter garlands to create a festive atmosphere your kids will love.

Care and Maintenance

A little TLC keeps your wagon ready for winter fun all season long. Salt, grime and moisture can wreak havoc on your ride. A quick inspection after your winter stroll is imperative to see if any part of the wagon requires a wipe or hose down.

Like most Veer products, Cruisers are hose washable, so don’t hesitate to give a quick hose down to remove any winter salt or sludge before storing your stroller wagon away.

Smart Storage

When your family is out and about in inclement weather, take every opportunity to warm up the wagon. Hopping indoors for a quick spell when possible can allow the seat and frame (and riders) to shake off those chills.

When the adventure wraps up, store your wagon in a dry, covered area for proper maintenance.
