The Eighties, also known as the Reagan
Era, witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the birth of malls everywhere.
It was a time of new technology from video games to the VCR, |
|
and from personal computers to synthesizers in
every band, the Eighties were times of rapid change and big hair. But as in past
decades, Radio Flyer forged ahead with new products and innovative designs to
keep pace with the ever-changing needs of their consumer. |

First introduced in the 1960’s, the Radio Flyer Town & Country is a
rugged, traditional wood wagon that has a “down-on-the-farm” feel
that kids love. Its features put safety right up front, including smooth streamlined
corners, a controlled turning radius that guards against tipping, and a quiet
ride. |

The classic Radio Flyer Row Cart
(pictured left) propelled kids forward with its fluid push-pull motion while they
steered with their feet. Kids had fun while strengthening their motor skills! |

Eye catching promotional items were always in fashion at Radio
Flyer. The design work was diverse ranging from beautiful marker renderings to
cut outs and rich photographic treatments. Radio Flyer working with other kid
friendly entities like Bozo the Clown and Nickelodeon made people take notice. |

During the Eighties, Radio Flyer began
a line of outdoor products for Flyer Kids that were now all grown up. The outdoor
line featured such items as lawn furniture (pictured right), and industrial grade
wheelbarrows to help out with backyard projects. Though these outdoor products
were designed for adult tastes, they continued to deliver the same Radio Flyer
fun and excitement. |
