Outside play is a summer staple, but for many families of neurodivergent kids or kids with disabilities, activities that seem simple can require extra planning and support. Radio Flyer and Understood.org are working to change that with a new collaboration focused on making outside play more accessible.
Drawing on Understood.org’s expertise in neurodiversity and child development, Radio Flyer has updated three of its popular products using universal design principles. The goal is to create play experiences that better support kids with diverse needs while remaining fun and functional for all families.

The updated lineup includes the Radio Flyer Cyclone, the Voya XT Quad Stroller Wagon, and the Coast Folding Stroller Trike. The Cyclone features enhanced durability to withstand years of use. The Voya XT Quad Stroller Wagon offers flexible seating arrangements that can provide a more comfortable space for kids who experience sensory sensitivities. Meanwhile, the Coast Folding Stroller Trike includes ergonomic updates, such as a firmer seat and adjustable harness, designed to support kids who may tire more quickly during active play.
The partnership spotlights Radio Flyer’s Fearless Flyers program, which offers qualifying families of kids with special needs a 25% discount on products.
As families look for ways to get outside this summer, the collaboration aims to help more kids experience the joy of riding, exploring, and playing alongside their peers. Products are available through Radio Flyer and major retailers, including Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
