Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This wagon!! It is seriously the greatest! I was going back and forth between a couple of other brands that were the square style when I stumbled across this one. Oh. My. Gosh. Let me tell you!! I seriously cannot say enough good things about this wagon. First: the sun shade. My baby is fair skinned so shade is a must have. I wasn’t super satisfied with the other wagons being canopy style. There’s really only one time of day that the whole wagon is shaded. I worried that because the canopies were not full they wouldn’t provide enough coverage but they are perfect! We have used this thing at all hours of the day with 1 and 2 children in the wagon and we are able to position the shades so the kiddos are always well shaded. I also worried about it getting too hot in our west desert summer but the way the shades are designed you’re able to get maximum airflow while still having shade where you need it. There is also built in mesh panels all over this thing so I don’t need to worry about the kids overheating while we are out hiking. The shades snap on - we have had trouble with one side popping off if we bump it wrong, but it hasn’t been a deal breaker. It just slides back into place. The shade itself is very sturdy and you’re able to position the shade however you need, half open, full open, up down, middle, 3/4. Seriously. It’s amazing. The tires: are a kind of rubberized hard plastic. Their size makes it so that this thing can go anywhere!! We never have to worry about a flat tire and it handles so far the concrete, sand, gravel and grass well! The only thing that might make it a bit better is some sort of built in suspension but overall it is a very smooth ride. The snack tray: is removable. It sits securely in the middle, I don’t have to worry about the kiddos popping it off but at the same time, when I want to remove it, it comes off easily. Leg room: I was worried that this would cause problems if we ever needed to lay our baby down. He’s just 6 months and so on longer rides he may fall asleep. (I do know this is not meant for sleep but sometimes there’s no avoiding it.) When we’ve needed to lay him down we just fold a jacket to create a level area, pop out the snack tray and we have a portable bassinet! Storage: this hasn’t really been tested though we do walk to our mailbox daily. The basket seems sturdy and can be used inside and out on either end of the wagon. It’s not terribly huge but everywhere we’ve gone so far most of what we need is in a backpack anyways. The handle: is magnificent!! Another brand I looked at had a handle at either end. I hated that the bulky stroller handle hung off the back when you wanted to be in “wagon mode”. The Xplore handle flips from one side to the other so you can push or pull. The handle height is adjustable, I am 5’ and my husband is 6’5” and we are both able to push and pull comfortably. It steers very well without jostling even going through gravel. Prior to buying one reviewer mentioned it lacks a 5 point harness. While I admit this would be a nice feature, it’s usefulness would be short lived. We bought the wagon because our stroller reclined too much and our 6 month old wanted to sit fully up - he had been sitting on his own for about a week when we first used this and he’s not had any trouble holding himself up. We obviously aren’t taking him on extreme off road trails but he handles bumps and jostled just fine. In a few months when he’s more stable I probably wouldn’t worry about buckling him in with the 5 point harness. The setup was so easy. Took no more than 10 minutes to pull it all out of the box and have it fully functional. There are 2 bolts that connect the handle, and the wheels, canopy and basket all snap into place. Folding and unfolding is fairly easy, though not one handed. There is a red/green window showing if it is safely locked open. The one side does lower to allow children to climb in and out, we haven’t used it though as our 1 year old niece can easily climb in and out on her own. Each side of the wagon has a small mesh storage pocket in the inside and also a bottle pocket on the outside - again we haven’t used these but they would easily fit a water bottle. I really can’t say enough good things about this wagon. Considering my baby screamed non stop in his stroller and will sit for hours in this I’d say that’s testimony enough. We’ve used it almost daily from walks to hiking to even just as a shaded spot to watch mom and dad while we work in the backyard. Well worth the price!!
