Rihanna—a musician, businesswoman and billionaire—wears another hat that’s likely more thankless, difficult and rewarding than any other: mom. The co-owner of Fenty Beauty and member of Forbes’ list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women was recently spotted pushing her kids around New York City in a Veer Cruiser City stroller wagon (in stilettos, no less). We’re not surprised that the successful mom chose this wagon—after testing 15 options, we named it the best stroller wagon for the beach (when you add Beach Wheels).

Rihanna customized her wagon with a host of useful accessories, including a Catch All organizer, Retractable Canopies, Visors, Comfort Seats and Leather Grips for the adjustable handle. The comfort seats in particular are a worthy addition—when I tested this wagon with my kids, one of the downsides was the hard seats with three point harnesses. The comfort seat adds some soft cushioning as well as a five-point harness, which is generally safer for young kids. You can also add a car seat or bassinet to this stroller if you have even younger babies to tote. (Rihanna opted to carry her youngest child in a baby carrier while her older two rode in the wagon.)

A Worthwhile Pick For All Families
Though we named this the best stroller wagon for the beach, it’s a worthy pick for everyday life, too. The smaller swivel wheels in the front make it easy to push from behind like a traditional stroller. The wheels themselves are on the larger side and described as all-terrain; in my testing I found that they easily maneuvered over even large sidewalk bumps, likely making it great for pushing along unpredictable New York City pavement.
For city living, it’s compact when folded—more so than most other stroller wagons. This simplifies storage, especially when you have limited space. It also has a simple fold that doesn’t require excess muscle and maneuvering, and the
Why We Love It At The Beach
I can’t say enough about my positive experience taking this wagon to the beach. Other wagons get stuck in dry sand constantly, but the Beach Wheels glide across both wet and dry sand so nicely. The lack of padding on the seats is actually a pro for beach trips, too. There aren’t any materials that need to dry, and ventilation holes in the seats help keep kids cool while giving water and sand a place to escape.
Many people stopped me while we were out and about to admire the wagon—which is an experience I’m sure Rihanna shares, though the questions and comments she gets probably aren’t about her stroller wagon.

A place to put your keys, phone, water bottle and other small items—easily within reach. You can fit up to six Catch Alls onto a Cruiser City. Adding at least a few is a good idea because the wagon doesn’t have a lot of storage space.
Retractable Canopy For Cruiser
Shield them from the sun—or prying eyes—with retractable canopies. Each canopy has a peek-a-boo window, so you can see your kids, as well as mesh side windows. The canopies are available in a variety of colors, so you can customize the wagon. Rihanna selected one of the camo canopies.
Visor For Cruiser Retractable Canopy
The Visor offers an extension to the canopy that provides even more coverage and can be flipped up or down. When you add two canopies and two visors to the wagon, you get nearly full coverage.
Comfort Seat For Toddlers For Cruiser
These inserts make the seat more comfortable for little ones by adding an additional layer between them and the seat. It also provides a five-point harness. These comfort seats are a really good idea if you’ll be using the wagon often and especially if you’re using it with younger toddlers who would be more secure with a five-point harness.
Leather Grips For Cruiser
These leather grips add additional comfort and style to the handlebar. They’re made of genuine Napa leather, and you can zip them on and off.
