Scot and Amy Herbst have focused their design skills on toys for kids to grow with. Made and marked under the name, ‘Kaiku’ the children’s staple little red wagon has gone green. The little red wagon makeover has resulted in a redesign dubbed, the Zen Wagon.
Some of the green features include natural rubber air-filled tires, formaldehyde-free wood, non-toxic finishes, and weather and corrosion-resistant hardware. The smaller PushPull wagon and the Strollkart, a wooden stroller for stuffed animals are designed with the green features as well.
Kaiku {ky-koo} = Japanese / meaning “to grow”
