Almost perfect!
July 30, 2023
Of note: I live in Manhattan and I got this to stroll around the neighborhood as my one year old hates the stroller and wants to feel more free. I don't have a vehicle anymore.
Things I was concerned about before buying (from other reviews):
- heavy push: it actually pushes great! I went into the Manhattan Albee store and pushed the w4 Volkswagen and it pushed easier than expected. I'm in my early 40s and haven't been to the gym in 2 years and I'm able to handle the W2 just fine
- steering: I feel like it's pretty easy to steer, again, better than expected. I definitely would not expect it to handle like my Joolz Aer or Bugaboo Butterfly. You'll need to take wider turns as expected, and it won't move fast, as expected.
-sizing: I was afraid it would be too big. The sizing is perfect for my one year old. It can fit my dog, another child, a large haul of groceries. Ideally I liked the size of the M15 or a Wagonsfold L1, but they are almost twice the price for a smaller wagon. It's smaller than my pack and play, but can function as a mini baby jail if needed. I can pop a wheelie over a curb or very large crack.
-wheels: I was afraid that I should have gotten the Luxe because of the larger all terrain wheels. After a little research I decided to get the elite, and get the all terrain wheels if I felt I needed it. The Elite wheels are pretty big already. They are fine on sidewalk cracks, uneven pavement, and I'm sure it'll be fine on grass. I don't plan on using it on the beach.
Notes:
- the brake is not flip flop friendly. You do have to use some force to remove the break
- my wrists are getting a workout, but I'm sure that strength will build up over time
-accessories are expensive
-folding is a pain, but from my understanding, it gets easier over time. Mine will be stored open in my hallway
