Radio Flyer Classic Rock and Bounce Pony with Sound
Purchased for first grandchild that was 6 months old. Feet did not touch and straps were a little tight.
I love the secure seat and she loves the sound. She enjoys being rocked. She is bouncing it at 9 months.
Great toy. The sound is worth the extra expense.

Great for the little ones
My baby and my two year old loved it, I like it because of the seat. My children love the toy so it was worth the money

Baby's First Rocking Bouncing Horse
Great fun for 1 year old immediately! Loved the bouncing, rocking motion, and the sound effects were an added plus! The seat to keep her in it is sturdy. She want to ride daily! Worth the money!

pony ride
great tou easy to put together. great ride for little toddlers not quite ready for horse without the seat.

Disappointed
I purchased this rocker/bouncer pony on behalf of my inlaws for my son's 1st birthday. The main problem is the rocker/base is 100% plastic. I have tried it on carpet, hardwood and a foam playmat and no matter where I put it - it slides everywhere. It needs rubber or something on the bottom of the rocker. I'm thinking of trying to buy the strips (preferably the clear) that you put in the bottom of your tub so you don't slip.

I really prefered the look/color of the Classic Rock and Bounce Pony WITHOUT sound. I decided that I would suck it up and purchase the the pony with sound because he would enjoy it; right? Wrong. There is not much to the sound and it just plays over and over again. Save your money, get the better looking pony and turn on some childeren's tunes.

My son likes the pony OK but, it's not your standard Radio Flyer quality. I can't say enough good things about the RF Classic Walker Wagon - it is made of good quality wood and will last for years. That's what a Radio Flyer product should be.

Great product
My son loves this wagon!! it is good and sturdy and well made. definetly worth the few extra dollars.

Very useful
Loved this new (I never owned one before) Flyer Wagon; easy to put together; but I did not purchase it for toy use. Am using it to move potted plants from shade to sun. It rolls great with any weight and turns nicely. Very maneuverable. On the down side, it did give off fumes when I opened the package and it is no longer made in this country. It is made in China.

good old fashioned fun
I think this was a good value for the money. Shipping was very reasonable and prompt. We received the wagon in about 5 days. The wagon is sturdy and can be used for play as well as chores around the house. I had a wagon very similar to this one when I was a kid. It held up well and my brother and I played with it a lot.

Red Wagon Helper
Radio Flyer Classic Red WagonWhen shopping for a "little red wagon" for my needs, I wanted to know what the dimensions of the inside of the wagon were. This I could not find. Here are the ones for this wagon: INSIDE OF WAGON (the carrying area)-- Length 33 1/4 inches (tight fit); Width -- 14 1/2 inches (tight); Outer Length of wagon --36 1/2" (outer "lip to lip" of wagon); Width -- 17 1/2" (outer "lip to lip" of wagon); Whole Length of wagon from outer edge at rear to tip of "axle" -- 38 1/2 inches (Tongue, aka: handle, folds nicely under wagon -- total length with tongue extended approx. 73". The sides are 4" high.

I am a 63 yr. old woman with several health issues. I assembled this myself (easy to do if you like assembling things like jigsaw puzzles, etc). I believe the materials in this wagon are very good and durable (of course, time will tell), almost all metal except for tires (ditto). These are not the air filled tires of some versions. The tires are large and solid (heavy) and would appear to take a fair amount of wear. I have not found any sharp areas that might prick a child. I love the extra length on the handle as bending is a problem for me.

I have already used this for hauling my groceries into the house from my vehicle. I frequently buy gallon jars of water. This will carry the ten jars in with a little room left over (not much). They say a gallon of water equals 8 pounds. So this carries a fair amount of weight. If I am not buying water, this carries all of my groceries. Sometimes I put a plastic container in it to enable me to stack more groceries in one trip. I also use it for carrying my Chihuahuas on walks. I put their crate (1 crate) into the wagon and off we go. It moves easily on sidewalks. Don't know about any other surfaces. I use it to move things inside the house from room to room (medium sized containers full of pictures that I am scanning to computer which are too heavy for me to carry; larger plants which I relocate from time to time, things that I move from storage and back again, I have even moved an older tv on it -- setting it on plywood on the wagon to do so, etc). So, I am very pleased to have this as it enables me to stay a little more independent and not have to rely upon help from others as much.

I think parents would like this for their children. However, the over-sized air filled tires may work better for long walks with children, depending upon the surface you are traveling (then you might need to be concerned about the tires going flat???). I like that this is almost all metal. I keep it on the back porch out of the weather. All metals exposed to the elements will eventually rust. The paint job is excellent and appears reasonably durable. I gave this 4 stars for durability because I have not had it long enough to determine this but it appears to be very durable.

I would like to point out that the customers who complain about the smell are absolutely correct! The tires will smell up the whole house quickly if inside for too long. After a while, I cannot stand the smell in the house. I am hoping the smell will dissipate after a while. I feel this wagon is worth keeping ..... but not inside the house. I have enjoyed this so far. I hope this helps someone trying to decide which wagon to get.

08/06/2010 - I set the wagon on its side with the tires facing the sun on my front porch. I left it like that for a couple of weeks. At the end of that time, no more smelly tires! I keep this in the house and love its usefulness.

great product!
My 1 1/2 year old Grandson would live in this thing if he could. He pushes it, pulls it and rides in it. It is very sturdy and well made. My husband is also using it. He is laying ceramic tile throughtout the house and the wagon gets a lot of use taking out the old flooring. I have no buyers remorse with this product. Should last us a long time.

Great Toy
Great toy for my boys! But the durability has gone down dramatically from when I was a small boy playing at my Grandparents with these Radio Flyer wagons. The metal that is used to built the pan it too thin.

Little Red Wagon
The wagon was bought for my grandson. We looked at the different wagons available and based on the construction, the tires, and the depth of the cart, we decided on this one. The fully pneumatic tires make it the most versital wagon for all types of terrain; indoors, yard, beach, trail, or park. The depth of the cart helps to ensure that he will not accidentally flip out of the wagon when something attracts his attention and he leans to the outside. The wagon has a strong construction and is designed so the pull handle cannot turn far enough to pinch fingers. My grandson loved the wagon.

Durable wagon but watch for craftsmanship.
Bought this wagon for my grandaughter. We were so thrilled when it arrived. Once starting to put it together, we noticed several dents in the red part of the wagon. One of the dents was about the size of a dollar bill and very deep. I called the company and within 2 days a replacement arrived. Getting ready to assemble this new replacement and noticed it had 3 dents in it. These were not done in shipping, it had to be done at the plant. No scratches and it was well packaged. I was tired of waiting on getting a wagon to use. I put it together, which only took a few minutes. We still have a brand new red dented wagon. Beware of the product before spending energy to put it together. Inspect for dents firt.

1st birthday gift
Purchased wagon for grandchild's first birhtday. Wagon was easy to put together and very sturdy. Grandchild loves being pulled around in the wagon. Glad I made this purchase over other wagons with sides intended for this age child.

Not a collector's item but pretty impressive
If you want a ding-free, perfectly formed metal wagon you'll have to go to a store and inspect the product before taking it home. They are clearly allowing defects through to the paint finishing stage. That said, as long as we're not paying full msrp, it assembles as intended, and we're going to bang it up anyways, it's really no big deal. I love how it continues to coast a little bit on its own momentum even on carpeting. Turn radius is good enough in the house so it should be plenty adequate outdoors. I also found the assembly instructions to be barely complete but somehow they managed to make the cotter pin idiot proof -- I couldn't get it through with the nut on tight but it did just fine when I stopped at "snug" as per the instructions. It's a simple and well thought out piece of work. I've seen 30 year old Radio Flyers rusted through so I think this will need to be housed indoors if you want it to last.
