The Radio Flyer legacy began with founder Antonio Pasin, a young Italian immigrant who came to Chicago in 1914. Inspired by the leaps of innovation being made all over the country, Antonio decided to take his first entrepreneurial risk and rented a one-room workshop on Chicago’s west side. Antonio started to design and build handmade furniture, as well as wooden tricycles and wagons for children. Antonio’s first line of wooden wagons sold as quickly as he could build them. He called his creation the Liberty Coaster, which later became the iconic Radio Flyer – the Original Little Red Wagon®.
