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.

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.

I love my little red wagon
I did not buy my radio flyer wagon as a toy. I am using it in my garden. It make hauling pots, plants, tools, and bags of dirt a breeze. Good turning radius, however, believe the one I had as a kid turned better. Certainly am glad I bought it.

Good wagon
It is a good wagon but I wish the back could be higher. I did not pay attention to this issue before buying. But still a good product, my daughter likes it!

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.

Love this Wagon
We bought this wagon for our granddaughter's first birthday. She loved it and the high sides and stability made it safe for her to ride in. It arrived in good shape and was very easy to put together.

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.

Kids love to pull this wagon.
I bought this wagon for my Godson's 2nd birthday. He has actually spent more time pulling it around than he has riding in it - the air-filled tires are the best feature for this reason; so easy to pull even a 2-year-old can do it! Assembly was a bit time consuming, but relatively simple once I found the right tools (use a wrench in one hand and the screwdriver in the other to attach the wood sides). I wish it came with a couple extra screws & nuts, the one that attaches the handle to the wagon worked its way out after a couple weeks, so I borrowed a nut from one of the screws holding the wooden sides to replace it. This time it seems to hold. The high sides are nice for small children, you're not worried about them tipping out the back accidentally.

MADE IN THE U.S.A.
Fast shipping. I like this wagon and it's made here. Not an imported piece of junk.
