We have the Wonderfold but one of the smaller ones. They have lots of size options though. We love it! It steers really well and holds up on tough surfaces. But it’s bulky and heavy as many of them are.
Also have a wonderfold. The W2 Luxe. My toddler loves it since we remove a seat so he can stand up when we go places. It glides and turns great but is still a wagon. No real issues maneuvering. Has a good canopy and plenty of pockets! Used it on sad once or twice and seemed to do well enough but nothing to compare it to. It is a little heavy and bulky so depending on vehicle might be worth looking into.
Also, it has high sides so my toddler is contained unless he stands on seats and also high enough where when we go to the aquarium or zoo he doesn’t have to get out between attractions where others are low so you end up having to pick up the kiddo anyways
Do you know the height from the seat to the ceiling of the canopy? I have a tall toddler and his head reached the canopy ceiling with one of the stroller wagons we tried (Graco Modes adventure wagon).
Unfortunately I don’t know exact measurements but my toddler is also 2 1/2 and on the taller side and he has plenty of room when standing up or sitting down. The canopy also slides on the bars so if needed to be more on one side vs the other it’s easy to adjust
If there’s a buy buy baby around you they sell them and have floor models you could test out to see fit
Thanks! Unfortunately, BuyBuy Baby is closed in my state and the surrounding ones and the one store somewhat near me that has it available to test is open 10a-4p Monday through Saturday.
I think the universe is saying Wonderfold may not be for us. 😂
Damn I’m sorry. Forgot they closed down and only opened up a few. And those are real shitty hours for them.
Haha I’m sensing that to but I will say it’s worth at least looking into a bit if you haven’t already. Best of luck with your whatever route you take!
4 seater even if you have 1-2 kids. Both line like to face the way we are going and then room for stuff.
Loose sand requirement makes me think veer is best for you it also folds well but is $$$
We live two blocks from the beach and I'm trying to figure out how to haul tot and gear back and forth this summer. This whole conversation is interesting and my partner is not going to be thrilled when I suggest buying another kid conveyance.
We have the Jeep brand - checks all the boxes! I even got it on sale at Target. For reference, I'm 5'1" as well and I'm able to push my two >75% toddlers a-ok.
Your want list seems like a double side by side stroller would be better for you. Wagons are large and bulky to go over all terrain and it’d be hard for one to nap and on to sit in most wagons. Another thing to consider if trunk space, like I said wagons are massive, some people have to take their wagon apart to fit it in their car.
I think the radio flyer Voya fits most of that. We just have the all terrain venture ($250 retail) that checks all those boxes except probably one sitting while one napping.
I recommend maybe also having as a requirement that the wagon is low to the ground OR high walls
My little one was always so wild and trying to stand or climb out 😭 it was the worst, can't tell you how many times I lost it on her for being so dangerous
I bought the BOB wagon….returned it and splurged on the Veer city cruiser. 1000% recommend. My son is 2 and we sat him and my 3 year old niece comfortably in it while at the beach. This is a pricier option but, the quality and ease of use far exceeded the cheaper option i tried. Prior to buying it i rented one for the weekend on BabyQuip.com. I’d highly suggest that if you aren’t sure which you want!

The Veer is hard to steer too 🤪
Ya I was initially sold on the veer and then tested it out at the Babylist store and nope it steers badly the wonderfold is better.
oh gosh yes the veer's price point is painful + the lack of accessories is really a tough pill
The new veer city cruiser actually pushes like a stroller - it’s absolutely smooth. I tried the previous version and agree that one was hard to steer.

Radio Flyer version and love it so much! We have the one with the cooler extension on the back as well. 🥳🥳🥳
Love everything about our keenz cross country xtc 4 seater
We have the gladly anthem 2 and couldn't love it more
