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!

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.

i bought this wagon for my 16mos old son and he absolutely loves it! This wagon is HUGE! there's plenty of room for the pool bag, toys, 3 or 4 kids even! I love the little underneeth compartment and the fact that it's on hinges and doesn't completely come off is a plus. The rubber wheels make it easy to manouver on trails or in the grass and they're not nearly as noisy as the plastic wheels. It was very easy to put together and I did it myself in less than 5 minutes. i would say the only draw backs are that the cup holders are a little on the small side, but that's not a big deal. This wagon is a must have, esp if you're looking for one with lots of room!

Wowie Wow Wow! As a mom of two, and a daycare provider, no other wagon can compare to our new Discovery ATW. I have the newer version with the air-filled rubber wheels. What an awesome wagon! As a neighbor noted, "the Stealth Wagon" as we waited for the school bus. I had the Traveler wagon, which we quickly outgrew and recently sold. It was loud. The plastic is great, quiet and comfy. My son loves hopping over the sides to get in. It manuvers great and the higher sides give me the assurance that the kids won't topple over.

The kids love to see how much they can haul in it around the yard. Older kids could pull it, too. I easily haul 100 pds. of children when we go for walks. Storage area great for our nature walks.

I rave about this wagon to everyone! Forget the plastic tires on other brands, what a joke! This wagon is worth every dollar! Thank you Radio Flyer for such a fun and practical wagon! Mollie

I have been shopping for a wagon for my son for a while and I must confess I wanted one of those big ones with monster tires and the full package, but the $... price tag scared me. I finally narrowed my choice down to the Step 2 wagon for two or the Radio Flyer Discovery wagon. After reading the reviews for both I decided on the Radio Flyer and I am so GLAD. This wagon is the BEST choice for the money. I can take my 3 year old everywhere, on and off curbs, over rocks and through sand. He loves it and he spends morning, noon and night playing in it. I would highly recomend it to anyone looking for a durable, fun and practically priced wagon. Since the sides are removeable it fits good in the trunk of my Kia. I also got the clip on umbrella and although some have had trouble with it I personally like it, though it is a bit small.

I bought this wagon for my 14 month old daughter and am pleased with the quality. It is well worth the money and easy to assemble. It is a large wagon so it's not for those who like/want compact items, but it's easy to manuveur. Plenty of room for toys, snacks, pillows, etc. and it has high walls so I'm not worried about her falling out. She loves this wagon more then her stroller!!

Got this wagon for my 5 year old son. He really enjoys being pulled about the yard by his siblings. This wagon has a nice cooler in the bottom of it which can fit a 6 pack of soda or juice boxes. There are also cup holders that will hold either cans or boxes. Easy clean up just spray with garden hose. The rubber wheels make it easy to pull on all surfaces and give it an easy ride. It's large enough to hold 2 older children comfortably and if the children sit in train fashion it can fit up to 3. This is a must buy and a great investment.

I bought this wagon not realizing how big it is. It is BIG. I could fit 3 children in this wagon easily. It is not an "inside" toy. However, my two year old climbed in and would not get out. He LOVES it. He loves to be pulled around the yard and down the street in it. It is deep enough so that he cannot fall out. This is a great wagon.

I bought this for my 18 month old after doing a fair amount of on-line and "field" research. I like the rubber wheels, the extremely long handle, the big bed, the cubby hole (nice size), the removable sides and the fact that the handle is attached to the front axle makes it easier and steadier to turn. Rubber tires work well on gravel and are much quieter than plastic. My son loves it. The cupholder fits the sizes we use but won't fit anything w/handles. Things to note however, include: there are no seats (but this allows you much more storage space for toys etc.); no door (but no pinched fingers or opening it while you are pulling him); and it is a very BIG and HEAVY wagon (altho it is still easy to pull). It is also very easy to assemble - I did it on the phone while he was napping. We also took one for a test drive at ToysRUs before buying. Only forseeable problem at the present time is that he will stand up in it if we stop -- but that would happen with any of them and at least he can't step up on a seat. We're very happy with it.
