Recommend your Wagon

I'm wanting to get DD one for her bday. I'm looking for folding wagons - I think. Anyone have one they love? Not sure if we have talked about these yet...

IDK, but I want one. All the ones I have seen are crazy expensive though...

I've decided to get a Radio Flyer ranger wagon. Doesn't fold, but it's around $68. You can remove the seat back

it's not folding, but i bought this one on sale (https://www.target.com/p/radio-flyer-ultimate-comfort-wagon/-/A-11261977#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=radio+flyer+deluxe)

i kinda wish i had a folding one, since this one is a pain to bring anywhere..we do take it every once in a while though.

Guise. The Ranger wagon is way cheap, and you can remove the seat back and it's a classic wagon! I've been researching this for months. Obsessed.

you know it! i needed the canopy for rain, and the caryallbag cause i'm a packrat. i got it for just over 100 or something, so less expensive than that basic one you posted

Where is everyone taking these wagons? Just to take walks around your neighborhood, or out places? I never thought of this as something to get. 

we do nightly walks in the neighborhood when the weather is nice. we also use it when we do picnics or for some other reason will be at a park for a long period of time...good for hauling crap. we also took it with us to the fair.

I will invent places to go with my wagon. The pumpkin patch!!!

We like to go places like the beach, park, walks, farmers market and I was thinking if we had another kid it might be smaller than a double stroller to keep in the car. Also DD could nap in it lying flat. She's a crappy stroller napper.

This is what we have.  I think we've actually used it more inside the house when the weather was cold than we have outside, although that will change now that it is cooling off.  

We take it around the neighborhood.

it's about the same size as our double stroller, bigger, but only slightly.......more awkward to get in/out of the car. the kids like the wagon more than the stroller, though.

So for those of you that don't have a folding one..do you wish it did? I was originally wanting folding but maybe it doesn't matter

sometimes. i have no idea what a folding one costs, or weight limits on it. when i see one though, i get envious thinking about how much more portable it would be. i feel like it would be less sturdy than the one i have, and that's what i tell myself when i see it. i also picked radio flyer based on resale value, so that was a factor in my decision.

Thanks @jennlin‌!

Your kids don't climb out of these? Or are there straps I'm not seeing?
DS would climb out if it stopped moving unless he was strapped down I think.

Oh and check out craigslist. We got a wagon for our elderly dog (RIP) when he couldn't walk anymore and got a radio flyer for $30 in good condition.

There are straps in mine, but we don't use them. Toddler climbs in and out at her convenience during the walk and ds is distracted when we give him a leaf. He doesn't try to get out until he's DONE, and in that case I would just pick him up.
