Restoration Hardware Kids is not only known for its incredibly stylish furniture range but is also a source for [unique scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k100-series-kids-electric-scooter) like this one, inspired by a vintage army plane. Unlike most scooters which are sporty and modern in their look, this vintage army plane wagon embraces nostalgia.

The product is shaped to resemble a vintage army plane and features unique elements like hand-painted details, a realistic propeller and a built-in leather seat that is comfortable for kids.

Moreover, this plane-inspired scooter is even accented with a stenciled identification number on its body and tail. While this wagon isn't the most practical for outdoor play, it is a [collector's item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windupz) that kids will pass on for generations to come after they've outgrown it.
