Step2 Whisper Ride Touring Wagon

I looked at so many wagons trying to find one that was durable and had the table feature, for the lowest cost. I am so glad I chose this one for our grandson's 1st birthday. We got it in 4 days with Prime and it took my husband an hour or less to put it together. Easy Peasy- I could have done it just as easily. I was immediately impressed with how easy it was to maneuver with no weight in it, but to test it further, I threw both dogs in. Even easier as I think the added weight helps balance it. We gave it to him at his house where there were kids up to age 5. It was a hit and easily fit even the very tall 5 year old. We gave rides out on the grass and had no problem pulling it around the yard. Our grandson later went for a ride to the park and especially loved the table where he sat eating his snack. Time will tell how durable it is, but it seems very well made and heavy duty. I was really questioning having hard plastic wheels on this as opposed to the old metal wheels wagons used to have, but they have a slight cushion to them and work very well. The only feature I wanted and didn't get was a little door, however both the 3 and 5 year olds scrambled in with no problem and the littler kids needed to be lifted. No big deal. The seat belts held them in just fine. The age range starts at 18 mos, but our 12-monther did just fine. I think as long as they are balancing OK and have adequate neck strength, it is appropriate for this age. I looked at a similar Radio Flyer wagon, but it was $40+ more and I liked the tables better in this one. Like other reviewers noted, my husband attached the handle "upside-down" from the directions so that it curves in towards the wagon in the up position; it is easier fit in the car that way and still easy for my 6'2" husband to pull.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I had to write re this wagon to help others make their decision on what to buy, since this is a big purchase, and there are so many options out there......so the pros and cons:1-PROS--LARGE, roomy , spacious esp. if you have just one child (like we do)-since spacious can also carry other items with your child (snacks,toys, balls, etc.), plus two cup holders outside for Mom and Dad--wonderful removable canopy--great for shade on those warm days--great to have the "table-top" for our daughter to sit and eat/drink or play on her tablet, with toys, etc.-great SEAT BELTS to hold her safely in-nice, quiet wheels-GREAT turning radius, easy to maneuver around corners, etc.-not too difficult to PUSH out of a space when needed ( for ex. we walked to nearby small store, went down and aisle and then I PUSHED it back down out of the aisle--instead of the normal PULLING it-- and it was pretty easy to do so)2-CONS:--NOT EASY/QUCK TO ASSEMBLE. I pulled it out thinking I would try to do it myself.....but I realized it would take some tools I didn't have and the instructions were not that quick/easy.......so I asked my husband to do it. Even HE said it took a while!!--LARGE wagon!! so be ready to take up lots of space in the aisle if you walk into a grocery store, for ex.. Outside you WILL draw attention!--I wish you could PUSH it not just have to PULL it.......would make it easier to stroll down the street when I am walking/exercising--it is HEAVY and then you add your child's weight....plus whatever else you put inside it. I will say that on FLAT/LEVEL SURFACE IT IS EASY TO PULL, YOU DONT REALLY NOTICE THE WEIGHT since its even distributed, but as soon as you have any sort of UPHILL GRADE, EVEN A SMALL ONE, you immediately DO notice the weight!***I plan to buy a "hand-strap" of some kind to attach my wrist/hand to the handle, so if my hand ever lets go because the weight is pulling on it too much, then the strap will keep the wagon attached to me so my daughter does not roll away!! (real danger)-I wish it had DOORS so she could open/close to enter/exit from the sides......instead she has to climb over the sides to get in or out.Not a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice.This is a GREAT wagon, your child will love it.Hope this helps! :)

We comparison shopped A LOT for wagons. This wagon has just about every feature to make it the best bang for your buck. It isn't too bad to assemble (I did it myself in less than an hour). I didn't screw the sides in, so they are removable so I can use it as a bench, or fit it in my trunk (I flip it upside down with all of the sides off and it fits in my GMC Terrain). It steers well, and the tires don't make too much noise. My 3 year old can climb in and out on her own, and my 11 month old stays put when buckled in. It is the perfect vehicle to go to the park because you can fit toys, roll everyone to where you want to set up, and keep kids contained, clean, and dry, while they eat. I highly recommend this wagon!

Oh my word this has been a wonderful purchase for our family. We bought this just before a family trip and we couldn't be more happy. We took our two toddlers in this all around one of the nations largest zoos in nearly 100 degree weather. The canopy provided shelter from the sun and helped prevent sunburns. Our youngest even managed to take a nap in this. We have since taken this to a large fair, a big family reunion, parks, and malls. It's been a life saver. Everyone stops us to ask where we got it and says what a great idea it was. It's easy to clean, the canopy easily comes off when needed, holds drinks for both the children and adults. Provides a surface for eating or completing an activity. The steering is easy and effortless. The only thing we've had to adjust to is the fact that there is no break like with strollers, so you have to use extra caution when on an incline of any sort. We'll be taking this on trips to the beach and so forth soon. I'll try to remember to post an update on how it does there in the sand. Definitely a wise and recommended investment for those with small children. I see us using this for years to come.
