We purchased this as a Christmas gift for our toddler. Having owned Radio Flyers in the past, I'm partial to the brand. Our last one served our oldest children well, but has been left out in the elements and needed to be replaced. I hadn't really considered this "new fangled" version.
However, after a little looking it didn't take long to come to a decision.
Pluses:
- Even though it's made of plastic, it's a solid unit. I would expect to get many years of use out of it.
- Back rests. The "floor" of the unit folds up to become a back rest for the child(ren). The child's feet go into a recessed well, or s/he could put their feet up on the opposite seat (2-seats altogether).
- Seat belts. We can't have our precious cargo damaged! There is a 3-point harness: the belt that goes around the waist and another that goes between the legs (crotch). They're a little tricky to adjust, but seem very secure. I can't imagine having to adjust this to switch out multiple children. Luckily, I don't have to though.
- Cup holders... what else do I need to say? There are four altogether. These come in quite handy for water bottles on our longer walks.
- Handle is okay. It stays upwhen you need it to and it's more conmfortable than the metal ones.
Cons:
- Tires: I wish the tires were more of an all-terrain tire. They work well for indoor and other smooth surfaces, they don't do as well on the street or off road. My kids don't seem as bothered by it.
- Turning radius: it has a rather wide turning radius. It's a monir detail that I live with. BTW, the handle is not connected to the wheels... the front wheels turn relatively easily in the direction you pull the wagon.
Overall, I LOVE this wagon and would highly recommend it. We've had hours of fun.
