Wagon - suggestions...

I did not do enough research before buying my stroller. Although I didn't get a side by side (which many twin moms have told me are hard to manoeuver around stores and thru doorways), I did get one that was too heavy! I get exhausted pushing it and don't talk to me about the backache of lifting it in and out of the van.

Before I buy a wagon, I thought maybe someone has had a good experience with a certain kind and could suggest the one they liked.

Thanks,

We love our Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon. It has 2 pop-up seats with seatbelts and cupholders. They have one out now just like it, but with a little "trunk"! I wish we had the little trunk for me to put my keys, wallet, etc. in when we go on little walks to the shops near our house. Otherwise it's perfect!

 

We have the Step 2 green one. I'm not sure the name of it but it's made by Step 2. It's really nice and has buckle to keep them seated. One of the seats has storage underneath it. I think it's very nice and the kids love to ride it. Plus it's got a door on one side of that, so it serves as a "club house" when their not riding in it.

Mind you, it is large and doesn't collapse or anything to be transported, but we don't take ours anywhere.

 

We have the same Radio flyer as the previous poster, and I wish they would have had the one with the full sun cover available instead of the small umbrella. That's the one I would buy! I used it indoors in the winter when my girls were younger, to haul them around from room to room it was wonderful!!!

 

We just got the Pathfinder wagon and LOVE LOVE it!!! Kids love putting their cups in the holders and I love the seats and belts! Must be pretty easy to put together because DH had it done in less than an hour.

Good Luck. BTW.. Walmart.com had it on sale for $54 plus shipping. Walmart stores dont have the same price. I think stores and websites should have the same price. but that is another story.

 

We also have and love our Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon! We go for walks in it nearly every day. For us, we use this more than our stroller!

I carry a small drawstring backpack with a few essentials when we go out. I didn't know they had one with a little "trunk" that one sounds great.

We have the Ultimate Family Wagon. We lOVE it! We hardly ever use a stroller now. It is sturdy, yet light weight, has seat belts and a cover not to mention extra storage. Oh, and the handle folds down into the wagon area to make it easy for transport.

I have even seen it at Walmart for less than Amazon.

Good luck in your search.

 

HEREis the one with the trunk. You can also get the canopy separately HERE. I may have to get that for this summer!

 

I didn't realize I could buy the sun cover seperate, THANKS!!! I just purchased it on Amazon for $29.00. Can't wait for it to arrive!

 

I just ordered one too I think it will be great this summer!!!

 

I just ordered the sun cover too!

We also have the Radio Flyer Pathfinder and having heard nothing but great things about it, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. The steering is awful. The front wheels have an anti-tip design to them but they don't turn smoothly at all and have trouble on our tree root lifted sidewalks. Perhaps I'm jaded after using a Mountain Buggy for so long... I'd test drive them with the kiddos on board if possible!

 

I am trying to remember the name of our wagon, I bought it 7 years ago. It has a flat bottom no seats or cup holders but I found it better that way. Why?? It held 3 kids better which I need! It held more stuff when we used it to help us move. It has removable sides and is lightweight so I could fit it in my trunk. It turns great and has been wonderful for our family. I wish I remember the name but I do remember we bought it at Toys r us. If you have mroe than 2 kids consider whether you need room for a 3rd!

I have the pathfinder too and it's hard to steer at first. You have to pull the handle all the way up to make a sharper turn and then it works fairly well.

I decided not to use mine for the zoo until they are more reliable and can walk with me and not run off or get sidetracked by a pebble as easily The stroller is great because I push up frontwards to the display (zoo talk here) and they can see etc. - with the wagon, they have to be pulled through by the side in order for both of them to see, that's not always do-able because the zoo is often crowded....

I'm off to buy the canopy!

 

We love our Radio Flyer too! Although we only use it around the house in the backyard

 

We also have the Ultimate Family Wagon and our boys love it! The sunshade is particularly nice b/c it curves out over the sides of the wagon adding even more protection. The seatbelts are nice and hold my boys in well, the wagon says it's for 18 mos.+ but I bought it for my boys' 1st b-day and with the belts on they have no problem staying in the seat.

 

Thanks everyone for your help!!

We are getting the Ultimate Family Wagon with all the trimmings.
