Radio Flyer Kids Wagon, Rolling Cart, Beach Cart, Carts with Wheels

I never had a wagon when I was a kid, so I could hardly wait to get one for my daughter. Now that she is starting to sit up fairly well (6 months), I figured it was a good time to make the purchase. I read lots of reviews for the many wagons that are out there. I quickly realized that a main factor affecting total cost is the quality of the tires included. However, I am extremely happy I ponied-up the money for a model with pneumatic (air-filled) tires. The plastic and solid rubber tires provide a much more jarring, rough ride, while the pneumatic ones glide much more smoothly and are compatible with more types of terrain. Also, it turns out that (for us) the Radio Flyer brand was a great choice. The assembly was straight forward (about 20 minutes... that included having to keep tabs on the baby). We got the model with the metal base and wood railings, and all areas of the wood and metal components are smooth and finished (no sharp edges). The quality seems everything that I would expect from a company with their type of reputation. My only complaint about the wagon (and many others have pointed this out) is that the tires smell like... well... new tires, meaning that until they aired-out sufficiently, the wagon smelled like the showroom at a tire center. For us, this wagon is turning into a surrogate stroller. Our daughter doesn't like being strapped into the stroller, and I was getting frustrated having to choose between pushing a screaming baby up and down the neighborhood or pushing an empty stroller while carrying the baby in my arms (and getting a sore back). Fortunately, she LOVES being carted around in the wagon. We added some padding (pillows/blankets) and now our daughter rolls like she is commanding a chariot. She couldn't be happier sitting their with a little freedom to move around and a toy or two in the wagon with her. The smooth ride on the pneumatic tires also seems to sooth her to sleep, and the wagon makes more a great little portable crib. Another cool thing about the Radio Flyer brand is that it seems anyone who is over 40 years old has nostalgia associated with the company, so it's a great conversation starter for a lot of folks who have a number of happy memories. Very happy with purchase!

My husband had a wagon as a kid and so did I; we thought that this would be the best gift and experience for any kid! Conducted a lot of research prior to selecting this one, and as many other reviews noted, the features of this wagon are the best in class. A few aspects that largely contributed toward our decision were: (1) we both had this traditional style Radio Flyer (but back in the day the body was made of wood, opposed to its current metal body), (2) the removable wooden side panels (not removable with this version, though; you either screw them on or don't; we chose to only screw on the back for back support), (3) the TIRES were a huge factor! After reading many other reviews, we were able to conclude that the wagon definitely had to be maneuverable on all types of terrain and in all weather conditions. These tires are huge, but not goofy looking like the photo here. (4) The mass amount of reviews from other purchasers moves this wagon significantly ahead of any other model. It might not be as convenient as the plastic bulky wagons with built-in storage compartments and cup holders, but if you really want to, you can purchase those accessories for this model. (5) This wagon can easily fit into the trunk of an SUV or van, or in our case a truck, with no problems. The bottom line is that the kids absolutely love this wagon, and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. We're looking forward to them using it outside once it gets warmer. The CONS (PLEASE READ): The first wagon that we received was missing a few pieces. We wrote to the seller who quickly put another wagon in the mail to us. However, because this item was a Christmas gift, we had to go to a hardware store to pick up some pieces that could hold the wagon together until the replacement arrived. Unfortunately, it also meant that we had to disassemble the first wagon in order to pack and ship it. Our suggestion is that prior to assembly, ensure that all parts and tools are accounted for (and good for you if this is already standard practice). Another note is that the second wagon was not in ideal condition, parts wise. The wooden panels were scratched up and the drilled holes looked like they were drilled by an amateur. This issue was solved by selecting the good pieces from the first wagon and screwing them onto the replacement wagon. However, this is a perfectionist issue and perhaps by other standards, this little flaw of scratches and things wouldn't be as big a deal. Still highly recommend this wagon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Radio Flyer!!

My wife is 100lbs, so she really needs something for hauling heavy items that doesn't make her look like a bag lady as she trucks things around in our New York City neighborhood, and with this item she does it with style. I could have gotten her one of those carts that nearly everyone here uses for laundry and grocery shopping, but as an avid cyclist I just couldn't accept the poor quality and durability of them. I almost designed and built my own option, but the Radio Flyer ATW really fit the bill, and sold for cheaper than whatever I might have created otherwise. Best features: Beautifully designed and made. Great paint job. Easy to assemble. Virtually maintainence free. The big tires and solid construction allow you to haul your moderately heavy loads over rough pavement, dirt and rocks, snow and ice. It even looks nice in our living room--where I would never keep one of those crappy folding carts. If you never even polish it--for which I recommend Pedro's Bike Polish--it would eventually look mottled (as I've seen old ones that were left in basements or outdoors without any maintainence) but will still look great, and for years to come. The quality paint will prevent corrosion for all but the heavy-duty user (such as those using it for a garden cart for instance). Despite having no children, we actually enjoy our Radio Flyer very much.

My husband and I wanted to get our son a wagon for his first Birthday. I was looking at the plastic ones with the seats, seat belts, cup holders, and everything, but then when my hubby saw this one there was no way we were going to get one of the plastic ones. Since my son is only 14 months old and a little guy I do sometimes wish it had some kind of seat belts or something, but he has learned to hold on and not to stand up when the wagon is moving. We throw a blanket in there for him to sit on to make it a little more comfortable since it is a metal wagon. The wagon itself is awesome! It looks great, love the red color and the wooden rails. It is built of good materials. My husband was able to put it together while keeping an eye on the little guy in the backyard, he said it was easy to assemble. The tires did have a strong chemical smell out of the box as others have reported but it only took a few days to air out and didn't seem to bother my son at all. Our wagon did not arrive damaged as others reported (not a scratch) so we were very happy about that. The wagon rides smooth, even over bumpy terrain (for a wagon). Its pretty comfortable to pull, and turns easy. It is heavy (its metal!) and will fit two little ones comfortably. The best part, our little man just loves his wagon. His eyes light up when we pull it out of the shed for him. He loves to push it around the yard, and he loves to take wagon rides. Rides in the wagon have become part of his evening routine: dinner, wagon, bath, bed. We wanted something special for our 1st baby's first birthday and this was perfect. I'm sure our son will get a lot of use out of it - helping dad around the yard and taking his wagon rides. I'm hoping it lasts him for many years!

When I was 3 years old, I had a Radio Flyer wagon that took some major abuse from my friends and I. We constantly rode around in it and it just kept on going. Fast forward 30 years and I started looking for a similar wagon for my 2 year old. I came across this ATV version when I was searching for steel Radio Flyers. While it's not the same wagon, it's definitely been beefed up in all the right ways. The build is fantastic. Strong steel basin attaches to equally strong steel wheel structures. The wood that makes up the rails is high quality (pine, I think) that has a good coat of lacquer on it to protect from the elements. Putting together all the pieces was a bit challenging; but it turned out alright and took about an hour. The wheels are made of tough, dense rubber which should handle just about any debris. RF seems to have improved the safety of their toys too (or I had soft skin as a kid). There are no-pinch hinges and all the wood rails lock in with screws. The grommets that hold on to the wheels are tight and will probably NEVER come off. I had to hammer them on with full sized hammer. The bolts are not exposed and everything that might cause errant scratches is underneath the chassis. There aren't any buckles or straps to keep kids in, but that's not really the type of kid this toy caters to. My only complaint would be from my son: it's too rough-and-tumble (bumpy in his words). When going over sidewalks, there is very little suspension dampening so it's a bit of a butt-buster for small kids. I imagine he will grow out of that as he gets older. Conclusion: There are many wagons out there... there is a reason why Radio Flyer is still around and #1. Excellent build, quality experience. I hope my son buys one for his kids some day. Now if only I can get one in my size.

We used this wagon when taking our 1 year old to the pumpkin patch this year. It worked perfectly: very sturdy, had room for our son, diaper bag, a pumpkin, etc. rode smoothly over very rough terrain. The wagon fit easily into our compact SUV, a Jeep Patriot. My only concern would be how well the wheels will hold up, since they are plastic, and do not have any sort of bushings or bearings between the wheels and the axles. Also, The wheels are not held on with the red plastic/metal retainers, that are pushed/hammered onto the ends of the axles. I am surprised that since this is an all terrain wagon, cotter pins, or threaded nuts were not used. I guess time will tell. All of the other components of the wagon are of high quality, when compared to the many plastic wagons on the market. The only other thing I would note, would be that when I purchased mine, the picture on Amazon, and Radio Flyer's website, showed ATW (All Terrain Wagon) graphics on the sides of the wood rails. Mine arrived with plain wood rails, no graphics. The instruction manual even showed the ATW graphics on the parts pictures. I called Radio Flyer, assuming that maybe it was a packaging error, but I was told that I must have gotten a relatively recently manufactured one, because they had just stopped putting the graphics on the models. Customer service was very friendly, and explained that there were some accessories that would be coming out that would make the ATW graphics obsolete. They appologized, and told me that they would make sure Amazon received an updated picture for their site, which they changed the next day. We look forward to using this with our son for years to come.

I have found memories of the little red wagon I had as a boy, so when my own son turned 2, I decided to buy him his own red wagon. I chose this model because of the pneumatic tires and the wooden side boards. Both features have turned out to be worth every penny. The big pnematic tires make the wagon smooth and easy to pull on a varity of surfaces. The side boards allow my son to pile it up high with branches and leaves from when he "helps" with the yardwork, or when he wants to fill it up with every outdoor toy that we own. :) He loves to ride in the wagon too. We walk to the Farmer's Market almost every weekend and the wagon carries him plus all of our fresh fruits and vegetables (plus kettle korn if he's good). On one occasion, we managed to fit my son and 2 of his cousins in the wagon (ages 2, 5, & 9). And we made it just fine too ... this is one sturdy wagon. Best Features: -Old Fashioned Good Looks -Very sturdy construction -Pneumatic tires are smooth and quiet across a variety of surfaces -Wooden side boards increase capacity Drawbacks: -Metal construction can get hot in the sun -Easy to scrape the paint off the metal handle if it falls on concrete Summary: The pneumatic tires and wooden side boards make this wagon a great child's toy that should last outlast his/her interest and still be good for the next generation.

Just like most things of this nature, the assembly was not a joy, but it was not as bad as most things. The wood brackets that hold the wood boards to the side of the wagon were warped so much that I was afraid I would not be able to bolt them to the side, but this ended up not being a problem. I put the screws through the holes in the right order and when I tightened the nuts, the brackets straightened right out. Also make sure you put the boards on the right sides. The long boards are interchangeable as long as you don't care where the "ATW" letters end up, but the front board has a dip in the top of it so you can lean the handle against it. Once I got past the assembly, this wagon has been nothing but an absolute joy. I bought this for my baby girl on her first birthday. We've had it for 5 weeks now. I've used it almost nightly. After dinner, I put my daughter in the wagon and walk her around the neighborhood. She loves it so much that if we walk past the wagon without going for a ride, she reaches her arms out towards the wagon and then cries if we keep on going. Once assembled correctly, this is a very durable wagon. I highly recommend putting a pillow in the back for younger toddlers. On my 2nd trip out, my daughter fell back and hit her head on the back of the wagon after I pulled the wagon too hard and caught her off guard. After that, I put a pillow in the back and now my daughter leans back against the pillow and enjoys the ride. If your concerned about this sort of thing, there are similar wagons with built in seats. I, myself, wanted a good, old-fashioned wagon and that is exactly what this is. I love it!

もっと早く購入すればよかった・・・！ アウトドアでの活躍に間違いなし！！

Very sturdy and quality material...been a healer since I put something together and felt like I got something built to last

Este Vagon es de excelente calidad, fuerte y espacioso. Si quieres llevarlo contigo en auto requerirás un SUV. Hay que armarlo y requieres cierta destreza.

Tires are impossible to pump as the air nozzle does not come up.

とても活躍しますよ。 おすわりが出来るお子さんなら乗せられます。 柵が高いので落ちる心配もあまりありません。 高さは2歳になる子どもの脇の下ぐらいです。
