More particularly, the canopy support structure includes an interiorally threaded socket secured to the body of the wagon at the four corners thereof. An elongated support member is secured to each of the sockets and extends upwardly therefrom. An elbow-connector is secured to the upper end of each of the elongated support members which support frame members extending therebetween. The canopy includes a top portion, a downwardly extending front portion, a downwardly extending rear portion, and downwardly extending side portions. Means is provided for maintaining the canopy on the canopy support structure. The canopy support is quickly and easily secured to the wagon and the canopy is quickly and easily mounted on the canopy support structure to offer shelter and shade for the child seated in the passenger seating area.
