The plan was to post online a temporary recall for All-Terrain Armoured Transports, a four-legged vehicle manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards and deployed by the Empire in its fight against the Rebel Alliance. One departmental official cited a recent presentation by Honda that claimed Millennials were “the hardest to reach in relation to recalls.” So they set out to reach a new audience. The bureaucrats missed that deadline, but they struck Twitter gold a few months later.ĭocuments obtained via the Access to Information Act explain how the government hoped a harmless hoax could help spread the word about its Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database, which lists all recalls between 1970 and the present day (for example, here’s a list of Toyota recalls). “We intend to post this message to coincide with the release of the newest Star Wars movie,” which hit Canadian screens two weeks later. “Our resident nerd has come up with a fantastic message our recall database,” wrote a departmental communications assistant on Dec.

Sand and soil are best handled by rubber wheels, especially inflated rubber tires.Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Rigid plastic wheels are quieter than metal ones, but can be uncomfortably bumpy on concrete or gravel. Wheels also come in varying sizes and materials, but the most durable wheels may not be the best choice for every use or terrain. Since wagons are inherently made for pulling, this safety feature is important as you will primarily be facing away from your child as you tow them. Wagons specifically intended to transport children (as opposed to wagons meant to transport a variety of items, sometimes including children) should have seatbelts to prevent kids from falling out as they shift in their seats or as the terrain gets bumpy. However, not all wagons are created equal, and many wagons are not suitable for both uses. Many wagons will allow children to intrepidly pull their own toys and supplies out to a picnic or beach trip, while allowing adults to tow a toddler back to the car afterwards safely and with minimal strain. Wagons can be great for children to transport toys or for adults to transport both children and toys.
