The best of old and new, July 23, 1999
By A Customer
|
|
I had a Radio Flyer wagon just like this as a child and loved it, which is why I wanted one for my daughter. We bought ours when our daughter was a year old, and she loved being pulled around the neighborhood in it. Now that she's four, she loves pulling her one-year-old little brother around, or posing for pictures with him in it. We use it for picnicing in the local park, or setting up an impromptu lemonade stand on the front lawn. The wagon seems to keep popping up in our family photos, from the Labor Day block party to Halloween trick-or-treating. It's a "classic" for good reason--kids love it, and never stop loving it.

Wagon, March 21, 2000
By A Customer

I got a wagon like this when i was really small. Now I am 14 and Istill use it for getting grocries from the store. It is still in good condition except it is rusty because i used to fill it with water nd make my friends ride in it. It is fun to ride down the hill from the store too my home. It can go really fast and it's easy to steer. You have to be careful if you cross the road and go onto a curb with kids in it. One time my mom was pulling me and my sister to the store. When she went over the curb it tipped over and my sister scraped underneath her nose. It is a great toy and even though i'm too old for it i still like it a lot.

Garden wagon too!, May 14, 2007
By Peggy Shirrel TheDirectZone.com (Prosper Texas USA)
|
|
I had used a Radio Flyer wagon for almost 9 years as a garden cart, better size than garden supply type and smaller to store. I own an acre and 1/3, so carrying things around the yard is difficult without help. The old wagon is still good except that the wheels are plastic and that is why I am buying this new one - it has steel wheels. The quality is even better than 9 years ago- very sturdy, metal is heavily coated, no rough edges and handle is finger pinch proof. I should get about 25 years on this one. Oh, by the way the kids like to ride in it and pull stuff around in it also.

Great cart, arrived with dents, June 16, 2007
By Finns Dad (Houston, Tx, USA)
|
|
My son (4 yrs old) cannot leave this alone. We use it mostly to get the mail, walk to the pool, in fact anywhere we go he's either in it, or puling it full of toys, etc. It is strong, sturdy and easily put together. Arrived on time, but when unpacked it has two dents to the top of the rim. Thing is, it's not like you can pop back over to the Wal Mart and swap it when you've bought it online - once you've unpacked it and your kids have seen it you cannot explain to them they have to wait another week or two in the hope we get another one that has fewer dents. So I keep my dented one. I would buy elsewhere next time for this reason - it is a heavy item with less than adequate packaging and so you need to check it before leaving the store.

Red wagon, January 15, 2007
By Linda Davenport
|
|
The wagon is great, as expected. 5 stars for the wagon, no stars for delivery.
It arrived with a dent, though, and when we called they told us a replacement wouldn't be available until mid-February, plus we'd have to figure out how to re-pack the thing, which was halfway assembled before we noticed the dent . . . so we gently banged it out and spray-painted the spot, and the recipients probably won't care, but it was a pain-in-the-butt, and there didn't seem any way to deal with it that wouldn't have been too much trouble.

Radio Flyer, November 15, 2010
By Victoria (MADISON, ALABAMA, US)
|
|
I had already brought one of these for 2 of my grandchildren, about 3 yrs ago-- it was a good wgon. I was going to buy one for my 3 yr.old grandchild, until, I found out that Radio Flyer, had laid off most of there American work force & moved to China, but had alomst doubled their price-- from what I paid then . I will not be buying another one, I do not trust Chinses product-- too many thing are done different-paint for one-- I am looking into a roadmaster, that is based in Atlanta, Ga. & has a factory near Auburn, Alabama. I am sorry, that Radio Flyer made this decision for Greed.

every boy needs a red wagon, August 26, 2008
By every boy needs a red wagon (Atlanta)
|
|
ORdered this Radio Flyer wagon for my grandson's sixth birthday when we discovered that, of all things, he didn't have one! He "needed" it for carrying his "stuff" around. Best part was that it arrived in perfect condition, it was easy to assemble and delivery took less time than we thought! The brand speaks for itself.

Made in China, September 3, 2011
By bajabushpilot
|
|
I had a red wagon like most american kids but now I wouldn't have one as a gift and I will never buy one for my grand kids. A little red wagon made in China is a betrayal of my own childhood. Everyone who owns one should throw it on the trash heap.

Radio Flyer Classic, January 30, 2010
By Virginia L. Garcia (Widfield, Ks USA)
|
|
When I moved to this appartment the trash dumpster was completly at the other endof the appartment comlex. So I thought this would be great way to take my trash bags out and also to take groceries in from the car. It has been a God send. I am 65 and it is a great help. It is not a toy for me, but as you know it is. I put it togeather myself in about 30 minutes. Directions are very clear. I love it, and I don't look like a bag lady pulling it. Virginia Garcia

Classic, July 22, 2008
By K. Wilson
|
|
If you're like me, you've seen the plastic versions and they just seem cheap. Once you've put this thing together and you hear that satisfying "clunk" of the steel tow-bar hitting the red body, you're taken right back to your childhood.
It's a shame Amazon's price is so high. I picked up this classic Radio Flyer on clearance at Kmart for $20....

Radio Flyer, April 21, 2008
By BMacGlennon
|

Great toy, I bought the classic due to wanting something durable, tried and true, not to mention sentimental. I expect to be using this wagon in my garden 20 years from now long after all four of my children have out grown it. It's really too bad that it's made in China, land of lead paint, cheap labor, etc... But, if I continued my one man crusade against buying things made in China, I wouldn't be able to buy anything anymore... Wait a second... There's an idea, stop buying crap.... Yes! That'l work... No, I guess it's not possible, I do have a wife and four kids. Too bad...

senior wagon, October 11, 2009
By kd (Albuqeurque)
|
|
I did not buy this as a toy, but as a way to get more exercise. I live in a senior community and would put the trash in my car and drive it around the building to the dumpster. Now I put it in the wagon and walk. I bought this product for the name not the price. It is very sturdy and I use it for much more now that I have it. I would recommend this for anyone who wants quality and durability. I know that it will last for many years to come.

Red Wagon Helper, June 25, 2010

Radio Flyer Classic Red WagonWhen shopping for a "little red wagon" for my needs, I wanted to know what the dimensions of the inside of the wagon were. This I could not find. Here are the ones for this wagon: INSIDE OF WAGON (the carrying area)-- Length 33 1/4 inches (tight fit); Width -- 14 1/2 inches (tight); Outer Length of wagon --36 1/2" (outer "lip to lip" of wagon); Width -- 17 1/2" (outer "lip to lip" of wagon); Whole Length of wagon from outer edge at rear to tip of "axle" -- 38 1/2 inches (Tongue, aka: handle, folds nicely under wagon -- total length with tongue extended approx. 73". The sides are 4" high.
I am a 63 yr. old woman with several health issues. I assembled this myself (easy to do if you like assembling things like jigsaw puzzles, etc). I believe the materials in this wagon are very good and durable (of course, time will tell), almost all metal except for tires (ditto). These are not the air filled tires of some versions. The tires are large and solid (heavy) and would appear to take a fair amount of wear. I have not found any sharp areas that might prick a child. I love the extra length on the handle as bending is a problem for me.
I have already used this for hauling my groceries into the house from my vehicle. I frequently buy gallon jars of water. This will carry the ten jars in with a little room left over (not much). They say a gallon of water equals 8 pounds. So this carries a fair amount of weight. If I am not buying water, this carries all of my groceries. Sometimes I put a plastic container in it to enable me to stack more groceries in one trip. I also use it for carrying my Chihuahuas on walks. I put their crate (1 crate) into the wagon and off we go. It moves easily on sidewalks. Don't know about any other surfaces. I use it to move things inside the house from room to room (medium sized containers full of pictures that I am scanning to computer which are too heavy for me to carry; larger plants which I relocate from time to time, things that I move from storage and back again, I have even moved an older tv on it -- setting it on plywood on the wagon to do so, etc). So, I am very pleased to have this as it enables me to stay a little more independent and not have to rely upon help from others as much.
I think parents would like this for their children. However, the over-sized air filled tires may work better for long walks with children, depending upon the surface you are traveling (then you might need to be concerned about the tires going flat???). I like that this is almost all metal. I keep it on the back porch out of the weather. All metals exposed to the elements will eventually rust. The paint job is excellent and appears reasonably durable. I gave this 4 stars for durability because I have not had it long enough to determine this but it appears to be very durable.
I would like to point out that the customers who complain about the smell are absolutely correct! The tires will smell up the whole house quickly if inside for too long. After a while, I cannot stand the smell in the house. I am hoping the smell will dissipate after a while. I feel this wagon is worth keeping ..... but not inside the house. I have enjoyed this so far. I hope this helps someone trying to decide which wagon to get.
08/06/2010 - I set the wagon on its side with the tires facing the sun on my front porch. I left it like that for a couple of weeks. At the end of that time, no more smelly tires! I keep this in the house and love its usefulness.

I purchased the wagon for one of 3 young brothers, for his birthday. My youngest son got so much fun out of his I figured they would too. The only problem is that the others want one of their own!!

A classic for all time, January 22, 2011
By Terry Crock (Massillon, Ohio USA)
|
|
This is THE classic wagon. I had a similar one when I was a kid that stood up to, amongst other things, being pulled behind a mini-bike at high speed. My kids have used theirs to ride down hills, pull behind bikes, pull behind pedal cars, and haul everything they could find to put in it--including dirt, water, snow and other stuff that will rust the bed. But, alas, a little sand paper and some red paint and it is as good as new (well, not quite). And when overloaded and banged down a hill and crashed into the side of your house enough times until the bed gets kinked a bit, a little hammer work fixes it right up.
You may think the price it too high, but if you figure in the hours of fun obtained, it is pennies per hour. It is cheap when it is figured in fun per hour per dollar.
And you can haul air conditioners, wood, concrete blocks; use it as a saw horse, and many other things.
Really, this thing is quality. Your kid's kids will probably play with it.
They is a similar, competitor's model of this wagon with slightly smaller plastic wheels, but you really want the all steel Radio Flyer. It is better. It will last longer. It is a cooler looking toy. Plastic might be fantastic, but steel is real (okay, that was stupid, but the steel is better).

Wagon has good qualities - BUT - Buyer Beware!!, January 27, 2011
By Doc S. (Mount Carmel, PA)
|
|
This wagon arrived in a timely fashion with Amazon Prime. It was easy enough to put together. It's rather well built and certainly sturdy enough. All around, I'm fully satisfied. However, there is a major caveat to consider: The wheels, made in China, have a HORRIBLE chemical odor. I put it together in my living room and immediately smelled the fumes. I am disabled and I bought it to tote my groceries and such from my car into my home. There is no doubt that I'll certainly need to store it OUTSIDE. Again, Buyer Beware! - Caveat Emptor! I'd strongly recommend against this choice if you have children and may use it indoors. As a matter of fact, you may not want them around it out of doors. I'm not too big on commenting on my purchases; however, I do read other's reviews. I felt strongly enough about this one that I had to, "open my mouth."
Addendum: I checked out The Radio Flyer website and they do say that the tires may have a, "rubber odor." This is their answer to the FAQ: "We recommend that you wash the wheels in hot soapy water and that you leave the tricycle or wagon outdoors. The rubber smell will dissipate with usage and time. It is important to note that the odor from the rubber wheels is not harmful and that Radio Flyer uses natural rubber to manufacture its tires." They say the odor is not harmful. I think it's awful! I'll try the washing and see how it goes. At the very least, it seems as though they should do the washing before the customer gets the product. Likewise, there should be a directive in the package about the odor and washing.

radio flyer red wagon classic, January 12, 2011
By fly

This wagon was purchased as a gift for my 76 year old mother-in-law. She wanted a wagon that was easy to pull up and down a handicap ramp. She uses it to put her groceries in when taking them out of the car, and then rolls them right up the handicap ramp into the house in just one trip. It was easy to put together and durable construction. She loves her new wagon ! I could not find this wagon in the stores in our area, so I ordered from Amazon at a sale price plus received Free Shipping and Handling. No complaints !

By Judiwatt

Loved this new (I never owned one before) Flyer Wagon; easy to put together; but I did not purchase it for toy use. Am using it to move potted plants from shade to sun. It rolls great with any weight and turns nicely. Very maneuverable. On the down side, it did give off fumes when I opened the package and it is no longer made in this country. It is made in China.

good old fashioned fun, July 3, 2010
By grandpa

I think this was a good value for the money. Shipping was very reasonable and prompt. We received the wagon in about 5 days. The wagon is sturdy and can be used for play as well as chores around the house. I had a wagon very similar to this one when I was a kid. It held up well and my brother and I played with it a lot.

great product!, May 29, 2010
By Sjc (SE Okla)

My 1 1/2 year old Grandson would live in this thing if he could. He pushes it, pulls it and rides in it. It is very sturdy and well made. My husband is also using it. He is laying ceramic tile throughtout the house and the wagon gets a lot of use taking out the old flooring. I have no buyers remorse with this product. Should last us a long time.

Classic Kid Gift, December 26, 2008
By T. M. Crane (Pacific Northwest)
|
|
It's a classic. Husband says every kid has to have one. 3-1/2 year-old daughter likes it ... but not as much as her princess dress and her baby. I have to agree, though, it is a classic and this wagon is made to very high standards - excellent quality. Very strong, great finishes, pretty easy to assemble. Has the feel of something very durable. Unless she rides it off a cliff (which she won't) she'll be able to give it to her kids which is more than we can say for the princess dress!

The Radio Flyer works very well for me as an adult, May 5, 2011
By Leo Veril
|
|
I much appreciate this Classic Red Wagon. In my use it is NOT a toy. The only child It has performed excellently as we have used it to carry all kinds of things like mulch and water a quarter of a mile up to a garden allotment we have acquired this year. Thank you for a great sturdy product. It substitutes well for a wheel barrow in my yard where a wheel barrow is much harder for me in my 2nd childhood to move stuff around. I can't rate it as a toy, because I did not buy it to be one.

Little Red Wagon, April 13, 2010
By LPS (Ohio)
|

We received the wagon for my grandson's first birthday. Shipping was great and we received it quickly. However, we did receive it with a scratch on one side and dent on the other. Because of the timing, we did not return it but I would have hoped they would have packaged it better or shipped it better. Just because its made of a heavy metal, doesn't mean it can't be damaged.

Dates Back To 1964, February 13, 2010
By Moose (Chicago Suburbs, IL)
|
|
We got our Radio Flyer wagon in 1964 and it still is in pretty good shape. Ours was bought at a grocery store called High-Low Food Store in the Chicagoland area and were dubbed the High-Low Flyer. High-Low sold wagons so customers could tow their groceries home. One tire is cracked but that's to be expected after 46 years. See photo at the top of page.

Love this wagon, February 12, 2010
By Sharon M. Gardner (Sun City Center FL)
|
|
We purchased this wagon as a Christmas gift for our grandson, who is 2 years old. We originally thought about getting the "traditional" Radio Flyer wagon with the wooden sides, which his grandfather had as a boy, but decided to wait until our grandson was older to purchase that one. This wagon, as other people have commented, does have a couple of dents in the side - probably a manufacturing problem - but does not affect the functionality of the wagon at all. Our grandson loves his wagon! He's already helping his Dad with gardening things (we live in FL), as well as using it to transport his favorite stuffed animals and toys indoor. Every boy needs a wagon - this one is great!

Radio Flyer wagon, August 19, 2011
By Art S

I always wanted one of these when I was a kid. I never got one, but now my grandson has one. It seems very durable. Ididn't rate it high on education value because how educational is a wagon?

Really great wagon!, August 15, 2011
By K. Reams
|
|
This is one great, well made wagon. Radio Flyers are traditionally a bit pricey, but this was very reasonable. It is heavy weight, extremely well made, and can handle the roughness of children having fun with it. It is far better made than any of the plastic ones. You won't be disappointed with the quality.

Red Wagon Gift For Grandson, July 23, 2011
By ginny
|
|
FANTASTIC. Very pleased with the product and the quick delivery of this gift to our grandson. We draped a sheet over it at his party....the look of joy in his eyes when he saw the little red wagon was priceless. I had considered purchasing one of those plastic ones that have a back support built in, etc., but I am so glad we settled for the Radio Flyer Classic Red Wagon. Our grandson will have many years of fun with it and so will his father doing chores outside in the yard. Very pleased with the purchase. Would highly recommend the metal red wagon over the plastic ones. Thank You

Little red wagon, July 7, 2011
By Paige Rawstron
|
|
I bought the wagon to carry plants and garden supplies around my property. Its easier than a wheelbarrow to get from place to place. It saves my arms and shoulders a lot of pain as I don't have to lift it up to move it. I love it!

It is not just a toy, June 23, 2011
By Aveiram
|
|
I bought this not as a toy. More as an alternative to carry my daughter when strolling thru parks and festivals. It has served its purpose, because she has the option of walking and if she is tired, just sit down and we can keep walking, as well as carry a cooler, blanket for picnic and toys. I bought the umbrella with it and works as charms. I feel this one will stay with us for long time, because once she outgrows the phase of riding in it, she already started to stroll around the neighborhood with her toys.

Classic Wagon, June 20, 2011
By Linda McNall (Livonia, MI United States)
|
|
I bought this wagon, not as a toy, but for its utility value. I use it quite a bit to move garden items, potting soil, flower pots, flowers, etc. instead of a wheelbarrow, which can get unwieldy at times. Another good point is that I was able to assemble it all by myself (and I am not a very handy person with tools!).

By rR F WAGONEER
|
|
When I ordered the radio flyer wagon for my grandson,I bekieved that it was made in america.But I was wrong.When the shipment came a week later,the words "made in China"were printed in big letters on the front of the box.Also when I assembled the wagon,I noticecd that all four wheels wobbled when I pulled it along.I was very disappointed with the results.However,since my grandsons birthday was near,I decided to keep the wagon,and eventually buy some better wheels for it,Lesson for me.read the label next time. regrettably, Mark Johnson

Heavy Duty R F C Wagon, June 12, 2011
By FAMILY LUV (OHIO,USA)
|
|
I purchased this Wagon for a 2 year old boy, in hopes it would last him for a few years. After putting it together, I'm sure it will last him for along long time. It is very heavy duty and well built. I am happy to say, I made the right choice when I got this Wagon from Amazon. My little One realy loves his Big Red Wagon. He will grow into it. I am very happy with my choice. You won't go wrong with this one.

Good old fashioned fun, June 8, 2011
By Alicia Damron
|
|
I had one of these when I was little, so I bought one for my kids to play with. I'm not old (33) and my kids aren't toddlers (ages 9 and 11) but they still enjoy riding down hills in the wagon and pulling things around. I think it's extending their childhood a little.

Historic Toy, May 13, 2011
By L. Henry (Tampa Florida)
|
|
Aside from being a great, rugged, sometimes not just a toy, RADIO FLYER products are older than I am... Their wagons always live up to their reputation... They are as American as apple pie and it's almost patriotic to own one to carry your American flag around in... Get one and feel good. *****Star

A classic with some class updates, April 14, 2011
By Geonni (pt richmond, CA, USA)
|
|
In case you can't tell, I love my red wagon. Yes, the tires smell of rubber when you unwrap them. They are rubber. So what should they smell of?
It's a bit difficult maneuvering around things indoors. But this is a vehicle meant to be used outdoors. Preferably outside the reach of spoil-sport adults, who imagine that you could get hurt in this Juggernaut. And certainly you could. I did, many times - fifty years ago - in my next door neighbor's wagon. But it didn't stop me from getting right back in and careening down the hill at break-neck speed again. And guess what? I SURVIVED. Which is why I rated it so highly as an educational toy. You can very quickly learn about all sorts of things like gravity, centrifugal force, impact velocities, the effect of concrete meeting human skin at speed and all sorts of other aspects of physics. And then there's things like the relationship between wheel-base length and turning radii, the effects of water on traction, how rust forms and so on.
Actually, all I got this wagon for is to haul groceries home from the market down the street. I considered one of those two-wheeled wire contraptions that you see little old ladies wheeling their groceries home in - but this is almost as much fun as a Corvette, and so much cooler than an LOL cart. (No, not laugh out loud - little old lady.)
At the age of 59 I finally got my own Radio Flyer. I intend to enjoy it. If you are thinking of getting one for a kid, just DO it! And take 'em off the leash and let 'em have some fun. Scraped knees and elbows are part of living. Without 'em one will likely have a poor sort of childhood indeed!

This is a really well made wagon . . . . just like the one I bought for my son 30 years ago. I highly recommend this one if you are looking for a wagon that will last and can be passed on to the next generation.

Radio Flyer Raves, January 17, 2011
By pcrhodes
|
|
As grandparents there are a few toys that make the list of toys you want to repeat by giving to the grandchildren. OUr sons adored their radio flyer wagon and played with it constantly and so we bought this one for our 3 year old grandson. The quality of the wagon is close to the original which was really awesome. Only possible improvement would be for the wheel caps to fit more secure. But our grandson rates it as his top toy he got for Christmas. I would always reccomend one of these for a gift. It will bring years of delight!!!

cool wagon, January 16, 2011
By mel1722
|
|
This wagon was a Christmas present for my 1 1/2 year old. He loves riding around in the neighborhood in the wagon. Only thing is that it's a little loud on the streets. Also, the first wagon that was shipped had a huge dent in the bed of the wagon, but Amazon was great and we had a replacement in a few days. It was easy to assemble, and we really enjoy using it. It seems very durable, so I'm predicting that it will last many years. Overall, it is a great purchase, and it helped that we got a great discount on it with free shipping!!

It's a Radio Flyer Wagon. Pretty good build quality. It's RED RED RED. My daughter loves this thing. If she's awake she wants to be in it and she wants me to be pulling her around in it.
If you're a parent you should do your kids a favor and buy one.

Product is damaged in packaging., December 29, 2010
By dw

1st delivery of this wagon was defective. Wagon bed was pock-marked with dents. Had to return it. 2nd delivery had minute scratches on the top and bottom of wagon bed. It was too late to get another. I tried to buff out the scratches with the kind of polish you use on a car surface, turtle wax. It helped. But this experience was a big disappointment. If the wagon was undamaged, it would have been the perfect gift. Nobody wants scratches and dents on a Christmas present for a child.

My 1 year old loves this wagon, December 29, 2010
By JLand (MS ,United States)
|

I bought this wagon because my husband and I are into getting our son all the vintage toys we grew up with and loved, and you can't get more vintage than the radio flyer red wagon. We bought for our son's first birthday thinking it would probably be a better gift for when he was older and just decided that it would be ok, we'd have it for him when he was ready. But from the moment we got it put together he was obsessed with it. We keep it inside for now (too cold outside) and keep all his toys inside it. We take him for little slow rides around the house and in the hallways and he thinks so fun! We are so glad we got this and can't wait to see what all he learns to do with this wagon.

The Classic Little Red Wagon (Received as a gift ordered from Amazon)
PROS:
-Sturdy heavy duty materials (Quality tires, bin, handle)
-Classic style and brand
-Smooth riding wheels
CONS:
-Did arrive with a few dents and dings, nothing that won't happen with a spill someday (if you drive your wagon like Calvin & Hobbes)

Laughter from the first push., December 26, 2010
By Newsletters Direct (Central Virginia)
|
|
If you only have one choice of toy for any child 1 1/2 yr or older this is it. The two toddlers I bought it for never stopped squealing with laughter until they had to put it in trunk to go home. Their parents who never had a wagon enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Really, who can resist climbing in to give it a try? It's the perfect toy when you need a gift for two children close in age because it's best operated with a pal to push, pull and ride with you.
This wagon is exactly like the one my brother and I were given in 1958. We never out-grew it. The one improvement Radio Flyer has made since 1958 is designing the handle so it folds under the wagon making it easy to haul in the trunk.
Especially good is the complete and total lack of plastic, mechanization, liscensed characters and annoying talking sounds. It operates solely by imagination and muscle power.
The wagon I ordered seats two to three children easily depending on age. It's solid steel, over 31 pounds. Built to take years of coasting down hills. Years of hauling toys, or weeds, or branches and kindling. Very useful in the garden hauling bedding plants or holding the harvest. Recommend that you store this INSIDE out of rain. A garage, basement or even a covered porch will do. Makes a good toy storage unit when not in use.
Thank you Amazon for the great sale price and free shipping during the holidays. This was the best Christmas I've had since 1958.

Simply the coolest wagon!, February 3, 2010
By mrquinn (Carbondale, IL USA)
|

What else can be said about this classic wagon that has not been said before. We love it. If you do plan on leaving it sitting outside in the rain I recommend drilling a hole into the bed somewhere near the rear to allow the water to drain. I used a round file to prevent any sharp edges around the hole then sealed it off with some paint to prevent rust.

My grandson wouldn't get out of his wagon, January 24, 2010

We bought this wagon for our 2 yr old grandson for Christmas. He sat in it while our son was putting it together as much as he could. Once it was together, our son gave him a ride around the house and then he really didn't want to get out. They finally put the rest of his presents in the wagon with him to get him to open them. We bought a Radio Flyer wagon for our daughter 24 years ago and we still have the wagon and use it for pulling things around the yard. Great product.

So useful for so many things!! & fun for young visitors too!, May 22, 2012
By Eclectic Nana (Coastal Bend of TX-USA)
|

The wagon arrived in a timely fashion. First time I can remember the delivery man as excited to deliver as I was to get my order . He was delighted to deliver a "classic American" product. The wagon was easy to put together, sturdy and appears to be very durable.
The grandchildren love it - but I think I may love it even more. The wagon is the perfect size for easy hauling of garden and watering equipment, unloading groceries & getting into the house in one trip or maybe two, even helps get all the laundry to the wash room easily, and makes filling all the bird feeders simple just load up the different seeds and make the circuit. I really may need more than one little red wagon! It helps move large bulky items such as buffalo and longhorn shoulder mounts that are not too heavy for me to move, but too large for me to get a good hold in order to safely move them.
This senior lady loves the classic red wagon both for the memories and the practical applications that make my life easier.

My wife and I bought this wagon for our nephew because we wanted him to have something he could enjoy for years to come.
We were both happy to see just how sturdy the wagon is.
The company made it easy for me to assemble - the directions were clear and detailed and the only tools you need are a screwdriver, hammer and wrench/pliers.
Bottom line our nephew loved his present and we're confident he'll be happy with it always.

From my garage to my apartment. I can haul 200 lbs. Have used it twelve times so far. Sturdy and easy to manipulate. Love being able to hide the handle underneath when I want to store it behind my sofa. Let me save you alot of searching; Amazon has the best price by far and absolutely no one sells it already assembled. Beauty of Amazon is that the steel parts in the box weigh alot...and Amazon delivers to your door!
