The F.A.Q. for All-terrain Steel & Wood Wagon (Radio Flyer)

My husband had a wagon as a kid and so did i; we thought that this would be the best gift and experience for any kid! conducted a lot of research prior to selecting this one, and as many other reviews noted, the features of this wagon are the best in class. A few aspects that largely contributed toward our decision were: (1) we both had this traditional style radio flyer (but back in the day the body was made of wood, opposed to its current metal body), (2) the removable wooden side panels (not removable with this version, though; you either screw them on or don't; we chose to only screw on the back for back support), (3) the tires were a huge factor! after reading many other reviews, we were able to conclude that the wagon definitely had to be maneuverable on all types of terrain and in all weather conditions. These tires are huge, but not goofy looking like the photo here. (4) the mass amount of reviews from other purchasers moves this wagon significantly ahead of any other model. It might not be as convenient as the plastic bulky wagons with built-in storage compartments and cup holders, but if you really want to, you can purchase those accessories for this model. (5) this wagon can easily fit into the trunk of an suv or van, or in our case a truck, with no problems. . The bottom line is that the kids absolutely love this wagon, and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. We're looking forward to them using it outside once it gets warmer. . The cons (please read):. The first wagon that we received was missing a few pieces. We wrote to the seller who quickly put another wagon in the mail to us. However, because this item was a christmas gift, we had to go to a hardware store to pick up some pieces that could hold the wagon together until the replacement arrived. Unfortunately, it also meant that we had to disassemble the first wagon in order to pack and ship it. Our suggestion is that prior to assembly, ensure that all parts and tools are accounted for (and good for you if this is already standard practice). Another note is that the second wagon was not in ideal condition, parts wise. The wooden panels were scratched up and the drilled holes looked like they were drilled by an amateur. This issue was solved by selecting the good pieces from the first wagon and screwing them onto the replacement wagon. However, this is a perfectionist issue and perhaps by other standards, this little flaw of scratches and things wouldn't be as big a deal. Still highly recommend this wagon. . Highly recommend this radio flyer!

Best all-terrain steel & wood wagon (radio flyer) in review

This is nicer version of the old wagon you may have had as a child. The oversized pneumatic tires give a slightly softer ride than the solid rubber tires, especially over curbs and bumps, plus the wider tires won't mess up your grass. . I bought mine as an online store warehouse deal for significantly less money than the 'brand new' price. It was stated that the wagon might have some slight cosmetic damage so we decided to give it a shot. The wagon we received was quite beat-up - one of the wood sides was broken and the red metal tray was mashed in significantly. I was able to repair the wood side and fix up the body, but i think most people would have been dismayed at the condition of the wagon. It was definitely not 'slight cosmetic damage. '

Ever since i saw the movie radio flyer, i have wanted a wagon and not just any wagon, but a radio flyer wagon. I was already into my teens when i watch the movie so my parents said no. So fast forward 15 years later and with a two year old boy, i was ready to purchase my first ever wagon! i looked at all the models and finally chose this. The barriers make it safe and the air tires allow me to use it with ease. This has become my sons favorite mode of transportation. Forget the stroller! he will sit on this while we take walks, go to the park, etc. He'll just chill in there watching the scenery. Since it's steel and the barrier is wood, i put a thick blanket and a pillow so he's comfortable. This wagon is really well made and it looks like it will last a life time. . As for the strong smell. It's true and it's quite strong. I've had this for a few months now and the smell is going away slowly but it wouldn't change my mind on purchasing it.

When i was 3 years old, i had a radio flyer wagon that took some major abuse from my friends and i. We constantly rode around in it and it just kept on going. Fast forward 30 years and i started looking for a similar wagon for my 2 year old. I came across this atv version when i was searching for steel radio flyers. While it's not the same wagon, it's definitely been beefed up in all the right ways. . The build is fantastic. Strong steel basin attaches to equally strong steel wheel structures. The wood that makes up the rails is high quality (pine, i think) that has a good coat of lacquer on it to protect from the elements. Putting together all the pieces was a bit challenging; but it turned out alright and took about an hour. The wheels are made of tough, dense rubber which should handle just about any debris. . Rf seems to have improved the safety of their toys too (or i had soft skin as a kid). There are no-pinch hinges and all the wood rails lock in with screws. The grommets that hold on to the wheels are tight and will probably never come off. I had to hammer them on with full sized hammer. The bolts are not exposed and everything that might cause errant scratches is underneath the chassis. There aren't any buckles or straps to keep kids in, but that's not really the type of kid this toy caters to. . My only complaint would be from my son: it's too rough-and-tumble (bumpy in his words). When going over sidewalks, there is very little suspension dampening so it's a bit of a butt-buster for small kids. I imagine he will grow out of that as he gets older. . Conclusion: there are many wagons out there. There is a reason why radio flyer is still around and 1. Excellent build, quality experience. I hope my son buys one for his kids some day. Now if only i can get one in my size.

Great wagon! easy to put together. It said to oil the pivot point, but didn't come with anything. I used 3-1 oil that's used to oil door hinges. Recommend it!

This was a christmas gift for my 2 year old grandson. He plays with it and pulls it around. He gets to ride in it safely while dad pulls him to the playground.

I got this at online store warehouse for $105. It was posted used and very good but what i actually received is a new, unused wagon with just a dent on the metal part of one side corner of the wagon. Hubby got his hammer and a towel to poke it carefully and voila! it went back to how it is supposed to originally looked! we are so happy with our wagon and my 6 and 1 yr old are both happily enjoying their wagon right now. We noticed a bad smell coming out from the tires as well that's why we assembled it outdoors and leave it out in the garage. We did put it altogether without waxing and pre-treating the wood as it was suggested but we are doing it next week when we have time to go to the store. It was easy to set-up and we couldn't be happier seeing how many precious memories we will build with our family with this wagon around. Summer is the best time to be outdoors but we can see ourselves using this a lot 3 seasons except for winter where my daughter would use it as her play and reading nook. A purchase worth buying!

Got this just in time for pumpkin patch season! took 15 minutes to assemble. Does have a strong rubber smell out of the box, but not too bad once it's been sitting outside for a while. Gets pretty bumpy once you go off the pavement - even with the air filled tires. I made the mistake of taking our daughter on a hike in the wagon. It definitely does much better on flatter surfaces. Had a few close tip-overs going downhill on the trail! all-terrain so long as it's not too steep! it's a bit tricky to control going down steeper hills. Careful not to have your child holding on to the front wood railing specially if you suddenly need to fold the handle up against it to stop. The handle might get a little uncomfortable for those with larger hands as it is relatively narrow. I'm thinking of wrapping it with foam tape for a better grip. Otherwise, a great wagon! built to last a long, long time!

Works great. Assembly was easy. Quality was very good. Using to tote my toddler to and fro. She loves it.

My 3 1/2 year old son loves his new wagon! we go for evening walks almost daily, and this will be joining us. We were able to easily put the wagon together, no parts arrived damaged, and nothing was missing. Tires are fully rubber, and a pretty decent thickness. They'll last a long time, no doubt. The wooden sides are fairly sturdy, too. I was worried, after reading some reviews, that it would need to be reinforced. All-in-all, i would buy this wagon again. It is definitely worth the price, and our family really enjoys it.

Best gift to grandson ever! he loves it. Put it together myself (grandmother aka weezie)

J. Lindsey, Shropshire

Bought this for my grandson for his birthday. He loves it! it is far more sturdy than the plastic types. It is big and roomy for 2 kids. The party kids all had to take turns around the san jose rose garden. We did place a small blanket in the bottom. It's safe and perfect for even 18 month old kids. The sides are high enough for them to hold on to easily. It was also very useful to bring in supplies from the car. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Little tikes wagons always fell apart too quickly. Radio flyer, metal & wood wagons are the way to go if you want it to last.

B. Meredith, Gloucestershire says

I had a hard time deciding which wagon to buy for my 1 year old son. Based on the reviews and the type of area i would be pulling this wagon on, this was the best choice. It was a little more expensive than some of the others, but it is worth it. We live where there isn't pavement everywhere so this is on gravel, dirt, and grass 99% of the time and these tires are perfect. I haven't tried the other smaller tires so i can't say whether they are better than others, but being bigger and having seemingly more traction, i imagine they work a lot easier. The screwed in wood sides on this make me feel a lot more comfortable hauling my son around. I also have an 8 year old daughter who even though she is a little tall for this, loves riding with her little brother. They are about 75 lbs altogether and i have no problem hauling both of them through the above terrains. Having a 200 lb weight limit, this wagon seems like it's built well and is made to last. Love it!

Just what i wanted for my 18 month old grandson. Side rails keep him from falling out. Easy to pull and maneuver. Large enough to carry him, his bag and some other odd things. Great wagon and fairly easy to put together.
