Great quality and perfect for our two year old son. He loves carting around his toys in this wagon; is a great size for toddler rides, too! He also really enjoyed putting this together with his grandpa. Great product.

2.) Great wagon in every way

I got this wagon to carry my aging dog, and it is great. Well made, sturdy, and I like the slightly longer handle to fit my adult arms. Turning radius is not as good as the wagons I grew up with, but it is much safer this way. It is light enough to easily lift and turn it around if need be. Happy in all respects.


3.) The Right Size

I bought this for my 2 yr-old son, mainly for indoor use. Therefore I wanted a wagon small enough for use in an apartment, but big enough to be 'useful'. The Radio Flyer Little Red Wagon sounded too small, according to reviewers (according to them, too small even for toddlers). All others seemed too large. This one is just right.

Two minor issues, however:
(1) The handle is a bit long. But it's acceptable to me: it allows for the growth of the child. Therefore, it has 'longevity'. (Not so for the Radio Flyer Mini Classic because it's too mini?)
(2) The turning radius is large. This seems to be a safety feature. The front-wheel swivel is restricted so that the wheels are not turned so far as to make the wagon unstable. I feel that it's for the best. It will just make the 'driving' a little difficult. Well, a kid's gotta learn to deal with minor problems.

The instructions for assembly are not step-by-step. A single diagram with "exploded schematics" is your only guide. It seems that order of assembly is no big deal, though. I put it together without any problems.

In my opinion, this is the wagon for your toddler: it's the right size (for a longer term, too), and as durable as a Radio Flyer. I also like the price better than the RF's.

Regards,

The wagon was more difficult to assemble than it appears, then the wheels didn't turn well. But overall it is a wagon and it serves its purpose well, as well as looking good while doing it.

we like the color of the wagon and it was easy to put together but the one thing we didnt like about this wagon was the turn ratio. the wagon when pulling will only turn slightly left and right. i guess this was a safty feature on these wagons but you would think they would have done something in the engineering of these wagons to allow for better turning. after you turn it slightly u have to lift the front up if you want to make any further of a turn and this is inconvient to say the least.on some of the pic's on the advertisement the way it show's the angle of the wheels that is about as far as they turn. you may want to consider a different brand.

Features of John Deere 28" Steel Wagon

Kids and wagons go together like John Deere and farming. This wagon is constructed of heavy-duty rust-resistant steel, and rides on steel wheels with rubber tires. Features easy steering and easy-to-grab handle; wide wheelbase increases stability. Some assembly required. Recommended for ages 2 and over.

This is a farmer's answer to the ubiquitous red Radio Flyer wagon--and in the same kid-friendly size. It's green, of course, with a 27-by-12-inch load area, and it's about 3.5 inches deep--just right for a dozen teddy bears or a few zillion LEGO pieces. The John Deere name decorates the sides. A folding black handle and 6.25-inch, black rubber wheels riding on yellow hubs complete the picture. --Richard Farr
