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! :)

The Step2 Whisper Ride Touring Wagon is awesome. It was fairly easy to put together-- TIP: To avoid a builder error... Even though it came with two extra of the black end covers... do not use the extra two in place of the small plain metal caps for the top of the front wheels.... the wheels will not properly line up and it will cause it to not turn well and you will have to figure out how to remove the black caps (which is hard and causes metal shavings to come off, or at least it did for me) and then put the small metal ones on. Also, put it together on a soft surface like carpet or grass... I used my garage floor and it scratched up the sides already so it looks very well used on the first day. My daughters LOVE riding in this, its easy to clean up if they spill or get in with dirt, it rides very smooth (but has no shocks for bumps so make sure drinks are closed!!), and I LOVE the seat belts in it-- it keeps my curious children from getting out too quickly! We also love the umbrella that is attached- it works very well at keeping the sun out of their faces.

My husband didn't have a problem putting this together...although do make sure that you pay attention to where the washers go when attaching the wheels. The instructions aren't super clear and don't specifically state that a washer needs to be used. It's a really simple circle inside a circle illustration that represents a washer and then an arrow, which sounds simple but it could easily be confused with a wheel shape as well. Just pay attention and you'll be fine... My toddler went absolutely crazy over this wagon. As my husband was putting it together my toddler kept putting in stuffed animals and saying "Let's Go!". As soon as it was built we went for a test walk and it was awesome.It turns so much better than the radio flyer ones. Seriously, our friends have a radio flyer one and I wanted to to shove it into a lake. This one was so easy to maneuver! The safety belts kept my active kid inside the wagon, and the little snack trays worked great for snacking on the go. The seat backs are high enough to offer support and my kid was comfy and happy as clam. I do wish the cup holder was deeper on the trays because one big bump can topple a drink. Otherwise, it's perfect.

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!

I've had my cart since October (about 6 months). LOVED IT SO MUCH this whole time. Took it on vacation and walked around the hotel with it, made it great for wet pool babies, great for theme parks. My kids want to see whats going on, so this was a great fit. Down sides are that kids can reach the cupholders next to the handle - plus side it had cupholders! So easy to get in the car with the handle folding under the cart. Wish the canopy latched into the cart, my toddler just pulls them out constantly so we can't really use it. So easy to clean and has drain hole in the bottom so you can just spray down. I'm the envy of all the parents when we go somewhere. At a theme park I get at least 6-8 comments about it. We used it on the beach to get two toddlers down to the sand with all their toys and I'm sure we'll be keeping this for a long time. One of my favorite baby-type purchases. Especially for the money.

There are things I LOVE about this wagon and things I feel could improve the overall design. First of all I love how well made it is. Its very rugged and sturdy. Its a nice size and can easily fit 2 kids and have storage for drinks and snacks. The trays are extremely handy I am very happy for the trays. My little guy has even put his sippy cup and his little dinner plate of left overs on it while we went for a walk. He was munching on chicken and veggies! The topper is so nice for shade!! We live in the south and the sun is brutal so I LOVE that feature. It also rides very well and turns with ease. The buckles are a nice feature for little ones who are prone to wanting to get in and out of their seat. Two things that would make this the most amazing wagon ever... The sides are really high so I have to help my 2.5 year old climb inside. A little door would be so handy for him to be able to get in and out by himself. second..I would love if you could push the wagon in front of you with ease. That way you can choose to drag behind or push in front. I like to be able to see my little guy while pushing him. I can push this forward but it can't turn well when pushing forward. All in all I am extremely happy with this wagon and it comes in handy for my little guy

This wagon is awesome , my 2.5 year old loves it and my 6 month old does too. The assembly was slightly frustrating but not for me, as I drank wine and watched my husband put it together so I’m sharing his opinion. He used an electric drill instead of a manual screwdriver and I high recommend that. Also, had some trouble with the hardware that holds the pivoting wheels in place but after whacking it with a hammer it worked out. Will keep updated if something changes but so far the wagon is sturdy and awesome.
