This review is from: Big Red Stake Wagon - Radio Flyer - Toys R Us Exclusive (Sports)
It's good to see that Radio Flyer is still making quality products. Are they as good as the old days? Probably not, but then what long-lived products are as good as they were in yesteryear? The Big Red Stake Wagon is a reasonably priced "S.U.V."-style wagon featuring pneumatic tires for better all-terrain performance. The wagon is attractive, can be assembled in about half an hour, and uses good quality parts that will stand up to what kids dish out. Any child would be happy to have a wagon like this - our son definitely was. As we live in an area without much pavement and no sidewalks at all, having a wagon that can go over rough ground easily is a big plus. The big tires also give the wagon a wider stance, making it less prone to tipping. There are a few cons, though. The paint was not entirely consistent over the black parts. And the wood sides, though well-fashioned, were not from as dense a wood as they once were and felt flimsier. The finish on the wood was less thick than in years gone by and that becomes a matter of aesthetics to some. The last nitpick concerns the valves on the tires. They're too close to the hubs and have to be bent quite a bit to inflate. But there are a few updates that work. The outer bolts have integrated safety caps on their nuts, preventing cuts and snags. And the notorious pinching one would get between the joint of the handle and steering yoke has been eliminated via a heavy-duty plastic ball that rotates through the entire motion of the handle. Only time can tell if this Radio Flyer will last as long as the one I owned as a child. But all things being equal, it's certainly worthy of four stars and perhaps a half for good behavior.

The Best Wagon On The Market, January 28, 2002

This wagon is the best! We purchased this wagon for our son's first birthday and we soon learned that it is not only a gift for him but for our whole family! We have so much fun pulling him around in the wagon that it has become more popular to bring along than our stroller! I researched childrens wagons and read as many reviews as possible before deciding on this model. The All-Terrain wheels make it perfect for trips to the beach, the farm, parades, the park, any where you want to go! The wooden stakes around the rear of the wagon make it easy for little ones to stay safe (our son even holds on to them as we go over bumpy terrain)! This wagon also boasts the deepest steel wagon bed, it is a good 6in or more, so all of our precious cargo stays put. This wagon is a 'must have' for active families!

One "haul" of a wagon!, November 12, 2001

I have this wagon! My wife and I don't own a car, nor do we drive, so this is our "grocery getter." We have used it in the winter as well as the summer, and the big tires work great in snow. Not real deep snow, though. We are known as "the wagon couple," at the market. We also use it as our shopping cart. It has held up very well, and we plan on getting a bigger one someday. It is great for the grand kids also. We have the wagon pads and side pads also. They keep grocery bags from wobbling around on the way home. Haven't broken any eggs or mashed any loaves of bread either. This is one "haul" of a wagon!
