Editorial Review

The SUV of wagons, the Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon--in traditional red with the familiar Radio Flyer logo on each side--features everything that explorative, toy-hauling kids need for getting around in style. The 8-inch diameter, solid rubber wheels support a durable, 3-foot-long plastic wagon that can tote up to two small kids--or a full load of beach or yard toys--inside its roomy coach. There's even enough space for the neighbors' kids to toss their gear. An oversize 34-inch handle makes the massive wagon easy to direct in a straight path or around corners. --Diane Beall

We LOVE this wagon. I went on a 2 hour walk with my kids this morning because we were having so much fun with this wagon, we didn't want to go home. There are MANY features that set this wagon apart from the others for me. There is only one thing that isn't perfect, and that's the weight - it is kinda heavy, although you'd never guess by pulling it. I just know because we live upstairs, and have to take it up and down the narrow stairs every few hours ... but I'm building and toning some muscles doing so!!!

My favorite features:

1. Rubber Wheels - VERY quiet ride, and VERY smooth ride. My daughter is 8 months old and can sit up on her own, but I was nervous going over curbs and big bunps. I am nervous no longer! The ride was so smooth, me daughter stayed sitting the whole time.

2. It is a deep wagon! My 2 year old is happy to stay put because he doesn't want to try and hop out. Plus, they won't slip out when trying to look at the neighbors rose garden.

3. It is VERY sturdy. I could not get it to tip over --- and it wasn't for the lack of trying!

4. It is easy to take the side off and use as a bench at the playground! This is also very convenient for letting tots climb in and out themselves.

5. It is easy to put together!!! It took my two year old and I maybe 5 minutes to put it together, and my 2 year old helped a bunch, and is very pround of himself!

6. It can fit SEVERAL kids! Up to 4 smaller (under 40lbs) kids comfortably! This is a FUN wagon to share! It is also awsome for 1-2 children PLUS an infant carrier seat!

7. Fits easily in the trunk of my compact car.

8. The cooler area is perfect for my keys, my 2 year old's shoes, my wallet, the sunscreen and LOTS of snacks.

I love this wagon. It is our new mode of transportation at the mall, bringing groceries in to our apartment, walking to church and the playground, and even moving boxes! As my husband said, this is the Lexus SUV of wagons! We are VERY happy with this wagon, and are excited in our long-tern investment this wagon will prove to be!

This is the coolest wagon! I have 16 month old twins who love to ride around in this wagon. It is huge and there is plenty of room even when they are in there! The wagon is super sturdy and doesn't easily topple. It hasn't yet and my boys are kinda energetic! It is deep enough that they don't fall out. And you can carry so much stuff with you! I love to take it to the beach so I can pile the boys, the snacks, diaper bag, purse, toys and towel in it! And still a free hand! It is a nice break from the stroller for the boys because they can move around in this and play with each other and with toys. But they also like to stand up and there is nothing to stop this.

The drink hodlers are a nice bonus but they only hold juice boxes or cups with narrow bottoms. The storage compartment is awesome. I hide my purse in it and put something over it when we walk away. It says it fits a 12 pack, which I haven't tried, but it does have a drainage hole! Too cool! The sides come off so the kids can sit with their legs hanging down like a bench.

The only downside is that it is REALLY big! If you live in a small place you would have to store it with things inside of it! But it does completely break down so it can become smaller-I fit it in the front seat of my Ford Escort! The handle doesn't fold down well if the wagon is assembled though. The only other small negative is that is has a very wide turn radius so it doesn't maneuver like a stroller.

All in all this wagon is cool and very worth the money! It should last a long time because it has durable rubber wheels, not plastic like some cheaper models. I expect this to last until my kids are 10! They are 16 months now!

This review is from: Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon (Toy)

We have a Little Tikes Wagon that was bought when our now 9yr old was 1 and a month or so ago 2 wheels cracked so I called to get replacement ones. They tell me they no longer carry them. Well what was I to do, now I had to go out and research wagons all over again. As I have now have 1 2 & 4 year old.

So I did all my research on line and when I felt I had exhausted all my options I went to Toys R Us to look at the "Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon". I liked what I saw and bought it.

Came home and held onto it for a month as my in-laws were giving it to the two girls for their birthdays (which are a 2 weeks apart). It was very easy to put together and boy is it huge. All 3 of my girls (including my 9 year old) can fit in it so easily. We use it primarily to take the kids and their stuff to the beach and back.

A couple of negatives. Yes it seems as if these wheels will last although they are much harder to pull over on grass or gravel (compared to Little Tikes). The entire wagon is alot heavier to pull before you even put anything in it (compared to Little Tikes).

However the size is great and the added cooler is a great idea. But I would not recommend the Radio Flyer Umbrella as it breaks the first time you use it. Instead spend $4 on a beach chair umbrella (it is bigger and much sturdier) then your little one's will be out of the sun.

Also this week Toys R Us are having a great sale on this wagon you will save $20. I paid $80 for mine but after how much use we got out of the Little Tikes wagon (8 years) that's $10 a year for the use of a wagon and this one I think should last us even longer.
