We bought this wagon for our 1-year-old daughter and she absolutely loves it. It's sturdy, good over uneven terrain, and the sides are tall enough so won't fall out. The attachable umbrella is a great accessory. -- Great wagon
I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE $100.00 RADIO FLYER WAGON AT TOYS R US AND WITH THE SEATS AND FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO TURN AND JUST NOT VERY ROOMY ACTUALLY. IT DID NOT MOVE WELL ON CERTAIN SURFACES EITHER. I PURCHASED THIS WAGON THROUGH AMAZON AND LOVE IT!!!! IT IS SO MUCH MORE SPACIOUS, TURNS BEAUTIFULLY, AND HANDLES WELL ON MANY DIFFERENT SURFACES. I CAN TELL THIS WAGON WILL LAST A LIFETIME!!!! I LOVE IT AND CANT PICTURE MYSELF REPLACING IT! -- GREAT WELL WORTH TH MONEY
I bought this wagon mainly for my two kids. We moved to a house in a small town that has lots of dirt/gravel roads and few sidewalks. The oversized tires make it a smoother ride for my munchkins. I love that I could find a wagon with the front axle connected to the handle. Those free spinning front wheels on plastic wagons don't work at all on rough surfaces. We have gotten so much use out of this wagon and I like it way more than a stroller. It was definitely worth the money! -- Great Wagon
It rolls like a dream on brick sidewalks or pavement. I could easily drag it along with two large 3-year-olds in it. When pulling it across the grass, the two-boy load definitely felt a lot heavier. One thing I would add if I could is a wheel lock (like baby strollers have) to make it more stable as the kids are climbing in or out, or when it is "parked" on a slope. I would also put bright red or white padding on the handle, not only for comfort reasons but to make it easier to see in the "down" position so that people are less likely to trip on it. But add the wheel lock and quick-remove sides (that you don't need to screw in) and I would definitely give it 5 stars; it's a fun toy.
The next part of this review is for the non-SUV owners out there who want an all-terrain wagon that will still fit in the car.
We decided to get a wagon we could take on day trips and longer trips because our three-year-old has almost outgrown the stroller. So it was important to get something we could use not just around the neighborhood, but that would fit in a normal-sized car. I considered this version as well as the all-wood version which also had the all-terrain tires. The reason we decided to go with the steel and wood model is because this one is two inches shorter. The all-wood model is 40" long and this one is 38" long. That 2" made the difference for me - see the photo I posted of the wagon in my car; it barely fits across the back of a Honda Fit hatchback. So the size worked out just right for us. The main drawback that I see with this model is that you can't easily remove the sides like you can with the all-wood model - they are screwed on with three screws on each long side and two on each end. Depending on the dimensions of your vehicle some people might do better with the wood model that has easily-removable sides even though it's two inches longer.
When you look at the dimensions listed on Amazon.com, bear in mind that the size listed does not include the wheels, and the wheels don't fold in.
-- Sizable but fits in rear of hatchback; wish it had a wheel lock
I just received it last night and my husband assembled it. It is a solid sturdy wagon with nice big wheels. I bought it when the price was a bit more than $100 and i think it is a steal for the quality. I can't wait until I use it with my 2 year old daughter. We are planning on bringing to Cape may this weekend.
-- Great Solid Wagon
