Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The covered wagon was the primary overland freight vehicle over the Appalachians until the development of the railroad. Subsequently it played a role in Western settlement, especially on the Santa Fe Trail, where ox and mule teams could pull its vast cargo with fewer water stops. The Conestoga wagon is a significant historical item that was used extensively during the United States’ westward expansion in the late 1700s and 1800s.

Product Description

Following the wagon train out West, this covered wagon has two horses and a driver leading the way.

Leading or following the caravan of canvas-covered wagons, this wagon has been through a long journey. Imagine where it's been and what it's encountered on the way. Your Schleich wagon still has a long way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Quality Toy, September 8, 2008

We got this for our nine year-old daughter, who has been into the Oregon Trail lately. I expected the quality to be good, and was not disappointed. In fact, the toy was better than described on the website - it has many removable parts such as the wagon cover, the barrel, the barrel lid, a storage compartment (the compartments open too), the seat, and all of the items on the horse, as well as those items connecting them to the wagon. The Polly Pocket dolls at our house have become westward-traveling pioneers, as they somewhat fit the wagon :) This toy has already seen a lot of play.

My grandson loved this toy. He plays with it everyday. It is very authentic and typical Schleich quality. Wheels turn smoothly. The first thing my grandson did was unhitch the horses. I put the harnesses away until he gets older.

Our family is preparing for a big family reunion in 2009. Our theme will be around the Lewis and
Clark expedition and the Oregon trail. I was looking mainly for a display item.
When the covered wagon with horses arrived I was thrilled by the detail and the workmanship.
After the reunion who knows, I may give it to my grandson to play with. It is so wonderful I would
be sad to have anything happen to it.
The pioneer family, mother, father, and child were equally impressive in detail.
A very satisfied customer. Lois Brown
