Why are these so popular?
April 20, 2023
This is an honest review and I hope it saves a few mamas from wasting their time and money. Honestly, I don’t get the hype. These wagons are massive and bulky. Cumbersome to lift into the car; barely fit in my van with no room to store other things beside it. I can’t even imagine how heavy the w4 is, I only had the W2 Luxe. I hit my feet on the brake when I walked. It’s not tall enough to work as a playpen for a walking toddler, they can climb out. Honestly, it also just LOOKS silly. Like a pack n play on wheels. The 5 pt harness is like a darn jigsaw puzzle and the latch is blocked by the bottom belt padding so you have to pull it back and THEN complete the puzzle. And you can’t just buckle it as a 3 point. The canopy is useless. If you have a baby that needs to nap, the sun is only blocked if it’s midday. Otherwise it’s going to shine right in their face. And forget about spending $180 on the visors (seriously? The wagon is already $700…) But wait there’s more. Reclining the seats is a PAIN in the rear. You have to shimmy the clamps down. If your baby is asleep with it not reclined, forget about their staying asleep to recline them. Lastly I pinched my hand more than once trying to unlatch it to open. If both seats are installed, there is 0 space to store anything. Oh and at $700 price point, i feel that it should have cup holders, but no, the parent console is another $50. Lastly, although I’m sure there’s more, it’s not that easy to push. Sure, it moves smoothly, but it’s so heavy on its own that by the time you get two kids in, it takes quite a bit of effort to go for a long walk.
