    Best wagon Ever
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I absolutely love this wagon. I have been using a old fisher price wagon that is quite a bit smaller. I walk my kids to school everyday and my younger kids were getting really tired so I borrowed my parents old wagon (the fisher price) and it worked ok…I had to squish my three little boys into it. Then I found this wagon and I have never been happier. It is BIG enough that I can fit 4 boys (5, 3, 2, and 6 mo) in with out it being too uncomfortable. It rides well and even with that much weight in it, it is still easy to pull. The sides are high enough that I don’t worry about them falling out, and the handle is long enough to pull comfortably without worry about hitting the back of my feet. I absolutely love this wagon. Definately a good buy.

    Wagon for my older dog to ride in when we go walking.
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I got this wagon for my older 40 lb sheltie who cannot walk as long as all of us can anymore due to age. I hated leaving him home when I would take my other dogs walking. He could not go as far or as long on walks as the other dogs could so I thought a wagon with padding for him to ride in would work great! I enjoy the extra bit of exercise it gives me pulling him along with my other dogs on walks or moderate semi-flat surfaced hikes. This is a wonderful wagon. I did a lot of research first, measurements, tire durability, handle lengths, etc. [...] all of that gave me good ideas and the information I needed. [...] All in all this was a good value and I know that if I ever have children, this will be something that can be used for them too.

    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    I did all of my online research & then visited our local ToysRUs. I found this wagon on sale for $39.99, had coupons & a birthday coupon! I walked out of the store only paying about $34.00!

    Online wants to charge $35 to ship this b/c of size/weight- forget it- go pick it up yourself & save $35!

    Wagon is great!

    Explorer wagon
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    Well I must say I read a lot of reviews about his wagon, and it pays to buy it and test it for yourself. We have had this wagon since 1996, and we still have it. My daughter got it for her first Christmas, and she is now ten. She still fits in the wagon perfectly, and also pulls around her 7 year old brother and 5 year old sister, who can both fit in it at the same time. We have never had any problems with the wagon, in spite of people’s complaints about the wagon being noisy. So what? As long as the kids are having fun, who cares if the tires make noise on the pavement. My kids have put many miles on our wagon, and never once has anything broke on it, or fell off. The tires are still going strong, and everything is in tact. I expect my kids to use this until the last child has outgrown the usage. The handle is long enough that even adults can use it without straining their backs. My kids have been able to pull this wagon around since they were old enough to walk on their own. Get over the noise, and get busy having some fun. If noise is your problem, get over it! It’s a small price to pay for your children having fun, and getting some calories burned off. It doesn’t make anymore noise than a basketball being bounced.

    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    We got this for our kids 2 years ago and they absolutely love it. We usually have at least 2 kids in it at a time. We use it for everything. The kids love using it for collecting things in the yard. It is very sturdy and has held up wonderfully.

    My daughter loves this wagon.
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    Our 2-year-old daughter loves the wagon. Despite being one of the smallest at the store it is huge for us. The large plastic wheels make it easy to pull over mulch (park), grass or dirt. It has plenty of room. I break it down as I have a small trunk, which is easy to do. It steers well and is very easy to clean. We are very happy with this purchase.

    i walk several miles a day taking kids to school and picking them up. we had a regular red metal wagon that died after only 3 yrs. we picked this one up and we love it. its easy to pull, doesnt hurt your arm, the handle is big enough that if i dont have a kid riding they can held and “help”. i fit 3 children in there with no problem and its safe for my 1year old as the side are high. it didnt run me over as i was walking down a hill, i like having that control. also it has rain holes, so no more inches of water in it! it has no educational value but this is a great wagon!

    I Love this wagon!!! I got it for my son when he was 1 years old. We like to take it when we go for walks. He is now 8 years old and I have a 1 1/2 year old, She loves the wagon, too!!! I haven’t had any problems with it. I don’t think I will ever give it away, I’m going to keep it for my grandchildren.

    Built to Last
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    Our wagon came to us as a hand me down from my neice and nephew. It was purchased almost 8 years ago now and is still pulling my 20 month old daughter around. She loves it, in fact if she can’t find anyone willing to pull her, she will place her dolls in the wagon and pull them around. I don’t know if I could call it an educational toy, but is sure tires her out which is a wonderful thing at the end of the day.

    The sturdy plastic is easy to clean with some soap and water and a hose. It won’t rust like a metal wagon, and you don’t have to worry about any sharp edges. If you want a wagon I don’t think you can find a better one.

    Great Investment
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    My son is almost one and he loves to be pulled around in his wagon. He knows exactly what it is for and the back is big enough to support him when he leans back so that he doesn’t fall out.
    The only negative is that if you leave the handle down and it rains, you will ge water in the handle that does not come out. My husband had to drill a small hole in the bottem of the handle so that it would not get mildew on the inside and smell.

    Overall this is a great toy. I would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you child is sick of the stroller.

    A great way to travel
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    We bought this wagon as a way to transport my 22 month old son
    who broke his leg and sprained his ankle. It has been wonderful as we have had a great and fun way for him to get around while he has a cast on. He loves riding in it! I must also add that it is easy to pull and has a great turning radius.
    We have been able to go to the zoo, to a theme park, shopping and do all of our daily activities. My older daughter likes to play with it too and I am sure it will come in handy hauling all of our items to and from the beach this summer!

    great tyke transportation
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    When our daughter was little we set her in a boppy pillow and hauled her over five acres. This little wagon went up and down hills, through dirt, mud and water and over rocky terrain. It literally went everywhere. She is now two and she is still very comfortable in it. I put a child size quilt in the bottom. She can sit up or recline back. When the wagon gets dirty I spray it off with the hose. She prefers this over other modes of transportation around our property. This was money well spent. I recommend this to everyone.

    My wagon is now over six years old and has been used for three kids. It still looks brand new. Color has not faded. Large enough that my six and four year olds both sit in it. When they are too big for a stroller the wagon is the way to go. They love it.

    Plastic Wheels Don’t Make Sense
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    My daughter has a blast in the wagon, I love the idea of being able to take the side rails down for easy packing. BUT,
    the wagon wheels broke the first time we took it out. The wheels are palstic and very noisy, but my main complaint is the quality. The inside of the wheel shattered, it is still useable, but I would recommend rubber wheels, which of course cost extra, and you can only order them directly from the manufacturer.

    My 2 year old LOVES his wagon. It is very durable, we have pulled 4 little ones in it up and down a hill. The hard plastic makes it much safer than metal wagons. Makes a great spot to grab a quick group photo of the kids.

    Very roomy but very loud due to the plastic wheels- wish they were rubber wheels (discription is misleading, it’s not quiet). A little difficult to attach, the handle holes do not align.

    I love this wagon!!
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    We got the wagon as pictured, and the handle pulls the wagon along just great. My toddlers (ages 2 and 4) are rough on toys and it has held up wonderfully. Our six and nine-year-old neighbors borrow it daily and have asked their parents for one. The sides come off easily and it fits into the moderate sized trunk of my Honda Accord. The kids have had a great time playing with it and pulling each other around in it. It just happens to “hook” onto the back of a pedal tractor we have, and they have a blast doing that. I recently bought one for my nephew as a birthday gift. This is a great product.

    The Whole Family Loves IT!!!!
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    We purchased the Explorer Wagon with the all terrain wheels (extra wide and swivel front wheels) and it is wonderfull! The boys (3 and 7) love to play with it, pulling eachother around, pulling toys around the yard, using it to help pick up the yard, etc. Dad and I love it for toting kids and purchases. Easy to pull or push, up and down hills easy, over pumps easy. And best yet, we took it with us to the BEACH. We saw lots of people there with wagons, all having a difficult time pulling it in the sand, but we had absolutely no problems at all. We have even taken it to several fairs and I don’t know how many times or places someone with a different wagon has stopped us and said We wish we had one like that!

    ******* 2 years later: still have it, still love it!

    Wheels in the picture are different
    Rating:3 out of 5 stars
    My only problem with this item so far is that the wheels in the picture they show are different then what they really are. The wheels for the wagon are like huge shopping cart wheels (the ones that rotate 180 degrees)… you know the kind that if they are not pointed forward the cart won’t move. When I was using it and I would go around a corner I would have to re-adjust the wheels so that they would point forward again. It was very frustrating. Other than that I like the room it has and I look forward to using it whenever I plan on walking in a straight line.

    The handle doesn’t steer
    Rating:3 out of 5 stars
    IF YOU BUY THIS WAGON, THE PICTURE THEY SHOW IS WRONG. THE HANDLE IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL SO IT DOES NOT STEER WHICH LEADS TO HAVING STUCK WHEELS. IF YOU WANT TO A HANDLE THAT STEERS IT WILL COST LIKE 20 BUCKS MORE IN A DIFFERENT BRAND

    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    We use this wagon to cart our 2 year old out in the backyard! Usually my 14 year old son does the pulling, but it is so effortless, and the only thing I would like to see for it is a wagon seat like they have for the radio flyers, to keep the kids safely fastened in it while moving. It is a great wagon to have, no need to worry about rust, it rinses easily with the hose. I would give this item ten stars ***** instead of the allowed 5 for durability and fun.

    needs better wheels
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    the wagon is great except i would recommend rubber wheels instead of plastic. In most places roads and sidewalks are not smooth having plastic wheels makes for an extremely noisy ride. You cannot hear your child in the wagon or the person walking with you when your walking. Being that the parent is back on to the child, hearing them if there is a problem from them is very important. I’ve heard this from many of my friends. they have said if they had a choice thay would buy rubber tires over plastic or replace the ones they have with rubber…

    New model explorer wagon
    Rating:2 out of 5 stars
    I was excited to order my explorer wagon. My brother’s family had one, which I also used, and we LOVED it. I ordered my own, unfortunately, the new model just doesn’t compare to the old one. It has a totally different steering system that makes it more than difficult to use. Walking and pulling the wagon straight works well, but backing up causes the wheels to go all over the place. The older version of this model had a yolk (axle) which kept the wheels in control. I don’t know what Little Tikes was thinking.

    A Good Wagon, but Perhaps Not the Best Choice.
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    This wagon is overall well designed and extremely durable. It is also relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to load in the back of the station wagon for a trip to the zoo (or wherever). We have had lots of fun with it over the past several years. However, if I were to make the decision over again, I would purchase a wagon with rubber tires. The plastic wheels on this wagon are really noisy when riding along the sidewalks, and going over curbs or other bumps in the road (or gravel pathway) are much rougher and more difficult to maneuver than in a wagon with rubber tires. Granted, my 3-year old has never complained, but I would appreciate the extra benefits of the rubber tires.
