Step2 All Around Wagon, Red

What a great wagon. So much nicer than the all metal, short sided, flat bottomed Radio Flyer I had when I was a kid. This wagon has seating for two, and seat belts. Two sit comfortably because there is a foot well in the wagon which also had cup holders and a slot for holding a book or possibly a portable video game device. If you are hauling goods the seat bottoms can be flipped over to cover the foot well creating a storage space in the foot well and a flat bottomed wagon area for storing or hauling more stuff. The little trunk at the back is large enough to hold a few action figures, some small toys or even some of the parents' stuff, like gloves, hats or maybe a few snacks. The side door, although cute, doesn't honestly provide much value to the occupying children. My child gets in and out without using the door, and the sill of the door is very high relative to the foot well. The door is functional, but is more for looks than anything else.Assembly was smooth. Directions were clear and easy to follow. You will spend 30 minutes to an hour putting this together. Be sure you have a small toolkit handy because you will need a hammer, some wrenches, and a screwdriver to complete the assembly. Wheels are held on using one-way friction fasteners at the hub that you must hammer onto the axle at the outside hub of the wheel. Once on, it would require a maximum of effort to attempt to get the hubs off, and even if you did get it off a new hub fastener would have to be found because the old hub would no longer be secure on the axle. So be warned that once you get the hubs on the axle, you won't be able to get them off.The pull handle is held on using a long screw and a lock nut. Another situation where once installed you aren't going to be able to easily take it off.We have pulled our child many miles around the neighborhood in this wagon and it seems to be holding up well. We figure that she will continue to use it on her own as she gets older.We chose this wagon over a similar version that had a canopy, mostly because the canopy appeared flimsy in the photos online. We don't regret not getting the canopy.Since most of the wagon is plastic, it should weather well, but it will sun fade, and red is the worst color for fading in the sun. I do suspect that the metal parts aren't impervious to rust, so be warned. Since we store the wagon inside I don't think we'll encounter a problem with rust.I strongly recommend giving this wagon a try, for the price you can't beat it.

Put together instructions weren’t the best.

Perfect size for a lot of small gifts for my grand daughter in law baby shower n it will be perfect for next summer

Easy enough to assemble.Durable, have owned for almost a year.More difficult to push and pull for an "all-terrain" wagon than I had hoped. I just bought the Radio Flyer with pneumatic wheels which is much easier to push and pull. I wish I had bought the wheels with air first, but I was worried about having to constantly refill them. But since this Step2 wagon is still very hard on my back to push and pull, I had to try again and I'm glad I did. I prefer the options like the adult drink holders and storage compartment of the Step2 over the Radio Flyer, but it's so much more difficult to pull and push on gravel dirt roads that it doesn't work for me. I let my child's father pull him around in the Step2 and it works fine for him.Update: I put wooden blocks at the base of the handle to keep it from going forward all the way which has made pushing it a lot easier. It’s more ergonomic this way.And I’m now pushing around my 7 month old and 2 1/2 year old. I really like that they both can ride straped in their belts and I don’t have to worry about the big brother bothering little sister. They are just far enough apart to hand each other things but not get in each other’s space.

When I recieved our wagon and started to put it together it was a bit of a pain but you only have to deal with that once, so its not too bad. Once it was together its great and exactly what we were looking for! We use this wagon for our 4 year old and 3 year old. They can get in and out easily without help.I love how easy this wagon is to pull and very smooth on pavement or sidewalks. We actually took ours for a rough ride on some pretty steep hills on a nature trail and it is still in perfect condition.The extra cup holders and storage in the back bottom are great additions. Perfect for snacks and drinks when we go to the park or zoo. Even drink holders for mom & dad!Editing to add to my review - We have now had this wagon over 3 years and it’s still perfect! In fact a few weeks ago it actually flew out of the back of our truck driving down the road - oops - and guess what? It’s STILL IN PERFECT CONFITION! A little scratched but that’s it! I am talking this wagon tumbled on the road and it’s still not even dented, the wheels are still straight and not at all damaged. If that doesn’t tell you how strong this thing is I don’t know what would! LOVEEEE

This is a very nice wagon but putting it together can be a challenge. The directions contain very few words and the diagrams leave a lot to be desired. I found video directions for the wheel assembly on YouTube after I found some of the parts attached to the bottom of the wagon…who knew! The holes for the handle didn’t line up with the holes in the wagon but with a little bit of frustration and a while lot of prayer, I was able to finally finish the assembly. It is a nice wagon and when the great grandkids are done with it, I will use it for gardening.

Perfect condition as you said (yet reduced price). Good buy!

This product is the same that my daughter had when she was growing up. I had to get it for my granddaughter. Very good product and she loves it. Would recommend this item.
