Toys and Games Reviews of Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon
Customer Review: WOW!!! What a Wagon.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Huge Wagon!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this wagon for our twin girls when they were 18 months old (they are almost 3 now). I was surprised when I saw it in person because it is huge!! At the time, they could actually both lie down in the wagon. This wagon has some really great features that have really come in handy and make it a really nice wagon. It has 2 cup holders, which are great for juice when going to the park or wherever. The sides detach to make it more versatile (flat bed, sitting bench, etc..). We have used it as a table for our girls lunch at the park. There is a trap door in the bottom to store small toys, keys, or diaper changing items. The wheels are rubber, not plastic like the Little Tikes wagon, and have held up very well. The handle is very comfortable to hold and easy to steer. The sides on the wagon are quite high, so even small children can ride comfortably. We have friends who have bought the other metal Radio Flyer wagons, and they say they are just not very durable. This one is durable, and it won't rust!! The ride is really smooth and quiet, which is just a nice plus! :)
This is by far the best plastic wagon out there! We compared this one to the Little Tikes wagon, and there is really no comparison. The Little Tikes one is cute with the little seats, but it is not as versatile, not as big, and the wheels are cheap. I definitely recommend this wagon, but this is the only Radio Flyer product I would recommend, as my experience in general with Radio Flyer (metal wagons and tricycles) hasn't been great.
Customer Review: THE ONLY WAGON YOU WILL EVER NEED!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research when I had decided to purchase a wagon for my son. This wagon had lots of good feedback and so it is the one I went with. Boy am I happy I did.....THIS IS THE ONLY WAGON YOU WILL EVER NEED!! It is so handy. Here are a few reasons why:1. Price. We ended up getting it on sale at Toys R us ... I have seen it on other sites for a lot more $$$. Compare [the] price to some of the other brands and you will see that you are getting top quality for a very reasonable price.
2. It is huge (I can fit my four and a half year old son and my eight month old daughter (in her car seat) in it.
3. It has rubber wheels, which gives it a smooth ride and a quiet one too!
4. Two cup holders and a nifty little cubby for extra diapers, bottles, snacks and toys.
5. You can take it apart in a flash. This is great if you need to move something big. (We live in a big apartment complex so we use it for taking out the trash, bringing groceries in from the truck etc).
6. You can take one side off and have a great little seat for a couple of kids. They can dangle their legs over the side and watch the soccer game!
7. Every other parent you see walk by with their wagons, will envy yours! I can guarantee this from experience. We receive comments all the time about this wonderful wagon!
OUR FAMILY GIVES IT 5 STARS FOR SURE!!!
Customer Review: LOVE, IT!

This is a wonderful wagon, and I can't say anything about it that hasn't already been said in the many great reviews. I only wanted to give some helpful tips to anyone planning to buy one of these or who already has one. I used a small quilt to make my daughter more comfortable and that worked fine. I don't think the pad that Radio Flyer makes will fit this one because it's narrow and rectangular shaped, and this wagon is wide and oval-shaped. If you would like cushioning on the sides, an old baby crib bumper will do fine. Slip the ties between the small cracks in the wall, tie, and there you go. I haven't tried this myself, but I'm sure it would work. If your planning to buy the umbrella for it, please read my review for more helpful hints. This is for the Radio Flyer umbrella. Personally, I feel it is too small, but I have come up with a good solution. Read the review for more info. If you haven't bought one of these wagons yet, what are you waiting for? The reviews in here speak for themselves, and are the reason I made the decision to get one for my daughter. I'm so glad I did. She can kick back and enjoy the ride, take along toys, and pillows, and be way more comfortable and less confined than she was in a stroller. Enough said.Customer Review: LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

We first came across this wagon when our son was in the hospital after being casted for hip dysplasia. The pediatric unit uses these wagons for the patients, and he fit in it perfectly with his body cast. The wagon we were lent by the orthopaedic unit was actually too narrow, and his feet wouldn't fit into the wagon. He no longer can sit in a high chair, or any booster seat, so this wagon is where he sits to eat, and play. We saw very quickly how useful this wagon would be for the duration of his cast treatment, and beyond! Even our two and a half year old absolutely LOVES riding in it with her little brother.
This is my sons' transportation, other than being carried, and he enjoys our walks with it. It is a very comfortable ride and handles quite well. The turning radius isn't great inside the house, but other than that, we have no complaints. We recently went to a festival, and each of my kids laid down in the wagon and took naps while I and the rest of my family continued to walk around! We used the cooler that day, and despite it being 80 degrees outside, our drinks stayed refreshingly cold!
All in all, this wagon is great, and well worth the $ spent!
