Abstract

A children's wagon featuring a cup holder has a molded plastic body and side, front and rear walls. The walls include inner and outer panels and the outer panel of one of the side walls has three wells formed therein. Three corresponding cavities are formed in the inner panel and the wells and cavities communicate via three bores. An E-shaped bracket features three legs that are connected to outer sections so that two openings are defined to receive beverage containers or the like. Each leg features an end with a pin positioned thereon. Each pin has an enlarged head portion. The bracket is secured to the wall with the ends of the legs engaging the cavities, the pins passing through the bores and the enlarged pin head portions positioned within the wells. Curved surfaces are molded in the inner panel and face the bracket openings and a ledge is molded in the inner panel and positioned below the bracket. A sticker or the like placed on the outer panel covers the wells.
