Great wagon
We bought this wagon for our 1-year-old daughter and she absolutely loves it. It's sturdy, good over uneven terrain, and the sides are tall enough so won't fall out. The attachable umbrella is a great accessory.

GREAT WELL WORTH TH MONEY
I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE 0.00 RADIO FLYER WAGON AT TOYS R US AND WITH THE SEATS AND FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO TURN AND JUST NOT VERY ROOMY ACTUALLY. IT DID NOT MOVE WELL ON CERTAIN SURFACES EITHER. I PURCHASED THIS WAGON THROUGH AMAZON AND LOVE IT!!!! IT IS SO MUCH MORE SPACIOUS, TURNS BEAUTIFULLY, AND HANDLES WELL ON MANY DIFFERENT SURFACES. I CAN TELL THIS WAGON WILL LAST A LIFETIME!!!! I LOVE IT AND CANT PICTURE MYSELF REPLACING IT!

Great Wagon
I bought this wagon mainly for my two kids. We moved to a house in a small town that has lots of dirt/gravel roads and few sidewalks. The oversized tires make it a smoother ride for my munchkins. I love that I could find a wagon with the front axle connected to the handle. Those free spinning front wheels on plastic wagons don't work at all on rough surfaces. We have gotten so much use out of this wagon and I like it way more than a stroller. It was definitely worth the money!

Sizable but fits in rear of hatchback; wish it had a wheel lock

It rolls like a dream on brick sidewalks or pavement. I could easily drag it along with two large 3-year-olds in it. When pulling it across the grass, the two-boy load definitely felt a lot heavier. One thing I would add if I could is a wheel lock (like baby strollers have) to make it more stable as the kids are climbing in or out, or when it is "parked" on a slope. I would also put bright red or white padding on the handle, not only for comfort reasons but to make it easier to see in the "down" position so that people are less likely to trip on it. But add the wheel lock and quick-remove sides (that you don't need to screw in) and I would definitely give it 5 stars; it's a fun toy.

The next part of this review is for the non-SUV owners out there who want an all-terrain wagon that will still fit in the car.

We decided to get a wagon we could take on day trips and longer trips because our three-year-old has almost outgrown the stroller. So it was important to get something we could use not just around the neighborhood, but that would fit in a normal-sized car. I considered this version as well as the all-wood version which also had the all-terrain tires. The reason we decided to go with the steel and wood model is because this one is two inches shorter. The all-wood model is 40" long and this one is 38" long. That 2" made the difference for me - see the photo I posted of the wagon in my car; it barely fits across the back of a Honda Fit hatchback. So the size worked out just right for us. The main drawback that I see with this model is that you can't easily remove the sides like you can with the all-wood model - they are screwed on with three screws on each long side and two on each end. Depending on the dimensions of your vehicle some people might do better with the wood model that has easily-removable sides even though it's two inches longer.

When you look at the dimensions listed on Amazon.com, bear in mind that the size listed does not include the wheels, and the wheels don't fold in.

Great Solid Wagon
I just received it last night and my husband assembled it. It is a solid sturdy wagon with nice big wheels. I bought it when the price was a bit more than 0 and i think it is a steal for the quality. I can't wait until I use it with my 2 year old daughter. We are planning on bringing to Cape may this weekend.

beautiful but not great for stacking
i loved this toy when i first bought it--it's a nice big size (a lot of the wooden ones are too small), really pretty, and looks like it will be very educational. when my kid was younger he did like to play with the rings, though the holes are not big enough for him to put the rings on his arms, which he likes to do with the plastic kind. sadly, though, it is just not a very good stacking toy. i thought it would be great because the center rod is straight but color coded, which means that you can put the rings on in any order or you can put them on in the correct order either by teaching size or by teaching color. how cool! the only problem is that the center rod is cloth so it bends really easily, which makes it really hard to put the rings on. my kid is 14.5 months old now and he just gets so frustrated when he tries to play with this toy. it might be fine once he has better fine motor skills, but for now i think i will have to buy one of those plastic ones, which is annoying. the other problem with this toy is that the red ball does not stay on top very well. it's always falling off. too bad, it's a great idea, just wish the center rod was sturdier.

Great stacker!
I knew I wanted a ring stacker for my daughter, who was 4 months when I bought this. It's great because it's soft and I don't have to worry about her hurting herself-compared to the other plastic versions. I really like that it's completely machine washable, as most Melissa and Dough plush products are. The rating says for 9mo+ , but my daughter has been playing with this toy since she was 5 months and really likes taking all the rings off and chewing on them or just playing with them by shaking the ones that rattle. As she gets older, she will be able to get into the sorting and stacking part. A Definite Do!

Lots of fun
I bought this for my son when he was six months. He especially loves the orange ring since it makes crinkling sounds. Each one of the rings does something different- jingle bells, rattles, a squeaker, etc. He hasn't attempted to stack it yet, but he does love to carry the rings around with him and chew them.

We LOVE this stacker...
We bought this for our son to play with in his bed/play pen during his quiet time and he loves it. I love it because of it's size, much bigger than i was expecting. This is definetly something i would recommend or buy as a gift.

Best stacker I ever bought!!
This is the best baby stacker I bought. I wanted to buy a plush one since I saw huge ones in baby stores. Upon my search I came across this one. It was smaller then I was looking for but I love the Melissa and Doug company and it seemed cute.

This is perhaps one of the best toys I ever bought. Each "ring" is different.(sqeak, rattle, bell, paper sound). My daughter is 10 months and loves this. She even gets them in her mouth which kids at this age love. I though they would be to big but she shoves it right in. A+++
