Anyone who has kids knows the colossal amount of crap you need to take with you whenever you leave the house for more than 45 minutes requires a few extra hands.
When you have multiple babies, it's an incredible undertaking to pack up all the gear you'll need for an outing, so anything that can make your efforts worthwhile could be worth its weight in gold.
If you're lacking in extra hands or just want to be a little more free with your outings, a foldable utility cart could be just what you need to help haul your multiples and all their gear around.
There are a lot of things to consider when deciding which one is the right fit for you, but, really, as long as you find something that makes your job as a parent or caregiver easier, there's no wrong decision.
Here are three compact wagons that can stand up (and fold down) to the task of toting around your kids, a diaper bag, a picnic basket, toys, and everything else that just doesn't fit nicely into the underseat storage of your stroller.

Electric Powered Utility Wagon by Litheli
It's Got Power, Baby
This is Litheli's Electric Powered Utility Wagon. It's a compact, self-propelled electric wagon that runs off of portable batteries. You squeeze the handle of the wagon while you pull it, and the wheels automatically turn. This means if you load your kids on board, PLUS all of their stuff for a trip to the park or the beach, you're hauling everything in one shot. Talk about a game-changer. With the collapsible design, easily swappable, multi-purpose batteries, and its general ease of use, it's easy to recommend this powered e wagon to parents who are looking for something that will help them haul their toddlers (and all of their belongings) for family outings.
We've had Litheli's wagon for over a year and it's proven itself over and over again...and turned many heads in our neighborhood when people see what it can handle, which you can read all about in this in-depth review.

Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon by Evenflo
It's a Wagon AND a Stroller
This is the Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon by Evenflo. Designed by a mother of multiple little ones, this unit is a two-for-one. It's a stroller when you need it to be a stroller, and it's a wagon when you need it to be a wagon. You can switch between the two modes (push and pull) by simply slipping the position of the telescoping handle, which can be easily adjusted to suit a parent's height. All-terrain wheels mean you can move from pavement to beach to grass without any problems. And, of course, it folds down compactly for easy storage in your trunk, so it goes wherever you go.

Summit Quad Wagon Stroller by Safety 1st
Have a Seat, Take a Seat...Remove a Seat?
This is the Summit Quad Wagon Stroller by Safety 1st. It has two benches and can seat up to four children (two per bench), with a weight limit of 40 pounds per seat. It's equipped with a wagon pull-handle in the front and a fold-away push handlebar in the back (and the height of both handles can be adjusted). It's got all-terrain wheels that can handle grass, dirt, or sand, and this cart can be folded down one-handedly. The best part of its design is that all four seats can fold down individually, so you can easily make room for any and all gear you're toting with your tikes...or, if you're traveling light, you can leave all seast down for ample seating availability.
To utility...and beyond!
For the first few years with your children, there will be a staggering amount of stuff you'll need to bring with you. And, then, they get older, and you need LESS stuff...but still need MORE stuff because, well, hobbies, sports, playdates, beach days, and all the fun things you do to make memories with your kids.
Make sure those memories are of the fun you had and not all the junk you had to juggle from the car to wherever you're going.
Invest in a compact and foldable utility cart that can make your life easier. Your future self will thank you.
