Thank you Jen!

The video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you for the review. This is the wagon I have my eye on. I’m glad it scored high on your comparisons. Do you happen to know with the car seat adapter attached, if it’s still pretty roomy/comfortable for a toddler? Thanks in advance!

@KidTravel1

I don't know exactly. I think there would be plenty of room for a single toddler, but it will completely block the view back toward the handle. I really like this wagon, except for the annoying fold. But we've had it for 6 months now and it still sticks but it always folds if you wiggle it and/or push on the seats.

Thank you for such detailed yet quick video comparisons! I'd love to see a score/comparison for storage. We're thinking about getting a stroller wagon for our family adventures, but it seems if you've got kids in both seats, there's less storage than a stroller... am I missing something? (Sidenote - any chance you might add a review of the larktale caravan?)

Thank you! True for many wagons you end up with less than a double stroller if the wagon is full of kids. However, the wagons listed below with a score of 7 to 10, have a decent amount of extra storage. Here is the list of scores, from highest to lowest of storage-volume ranking: Keenz 7S 10 Jeep Wrangler 10 Anthem 4 9 Wonderfold W4 Elite 9 Baby Trend Expedition 8 Evenflo Pivot Xplore 7 Ever Advanced 5 Wonderfold W1 Original 4 Graco Modes Adventure 3 Radio Flyer Discovery 3 Veer Cruiser 1

How has it held up with usage?

With the carseat adapter in use, can two other kids still fit? Our two older kids are about your kids sizes and we're trying to picture how the kids would fit with the carseat too. We emailed Gladly for photos and they don't have any stock photos or videos of the anthem 4 when it's using the carseat adapter when even one other kid (much less two kids) are also using it. Thank you!

The version I bought does not accommodate the car seat adapter, so I don't have any pictures either. I have a feeling they will fit fine but the car seat will block the view and be in their faces. This isn't too different from other wagons with car seat adapters, so its not unique to the Anthem. Some of the double strollers do a better job of separating the car seat from the kids seat, but they don't handle three kids. Good news is that the car seat isn't permanent!

Does it fit through your door frames? I live in a very old house that is probably not ADA compliant. I just got my Anthem 4 and I put it together inside my house and then couldn’t fit down the hallway or through the front door 🤣 Anyways, I was looking for a comparison with the Wonderfold 4 seater so thank you for your reviews, just thought I’d ask if becoming a prisoner in your house happened to anyone else or is it just because I live in an old home. 🤪

You are exactly right! That door in the video going outside is 30 inches and it did fit through but snagged on the weather stripping. We have a lot of 28 inch doors inside the house and it is a pain to turn it on its side and get through those. Most of the wagons can go through those 28 in doors but the Wonderfold W4 Elite and Jeep can't.

I like this one the most but I’m worried about the canopy space. My son is tall for his age.

I like this wagon by my 5 year old (almost 6)is 54 lbs right now and it says eat seat is 50lbs.

@KidTravel1

The 4-seater theoretically holds 4 kids at 50 lbs each, so I don't think the weight will be a big limitation if its only one kid on the seat. But they will probably bump their head on the canopy. I had a 6, 4 and 3 year old in the wagon recently and the footwell was too small for all their knees so the 6 year old kind of had his legs stretched from corner to corner of the wagon and we did put the canopy up because it was so hot outside but his head was pushing against the top.

Will you be posting a review on the Jeep Wrangler compared to the Anthem 4?

People need to do terrain tests on sand.

Always wanted to do that in a measurable way but never got around to it. None of them really work well on sand, except for very hard sand, despite what people say and despite the videos. The all-terrain wheels aren't built for sand except for the ones that are 4 inches wide.

Do you know if this is able to ship to Canada? I am between this and the Graco Modes, however this has the nap pad feature that I wanted. Thanks!

@@KidTravel1 thanks! Now I'm sort of between the baby trend and the Graco modes. I like that the baby trend comes with the car seat adaptor, and the price point is significantly better in Canadian ($299 vs. $599) but it doesn't have the foot well. In your opinion, would that be too uncomfortable for a 2 year old? I'm thinking perhaps to have that one for at least a year, then sell and upgrade to either the Graco or the extremely costly Veer

@KidTravel1

Жыл бұрын

I think if they are strapped in for a long time the footwell can make a difference, but if they are spending a lot of time in the wagon playing, the footwell gets in the way. If you can get an Evenflo Pivot in Canada, that's also a good choice because its cheaper than the Graco and also a lot less expensive. No nap surface though (Graco doesn't have that either).

@user-ml3qg3kw2i well, actually I'm wrong sort of. When you lift the handle up after it has been folded, it clicks in place when it gets to the normal, upright handle position. But then you can unclick it and lower it and it will move up and down. If you lift it too far up, it clicks in place again. But I really answered incorrectly because if you want it to be lower and moveable, it can be.

@@KidTravel1 ​ @Kid Travel Someone is offering me a w2 elite with parent console, snack tray, and full rain cover for 475. I have 8 month old twins and not having more kids. I am just confused on whether I should choose another wagon stroller, the one for 475, or just invest in a new w4. Thoughts? I have a Honda pilot for reference and can put the third row down but prefer only to put half of the third row down as I sometimes transport guests.

@KidTravel1

Our Elite is the W4 not the W2, although we also used a W1 Original. Our W4 Elite and the W2 Elite too, are pretty heavy, bulky and a little challenging to fold and lift. The seats will probably be nice while the kids are younger, then you may end up taking them out later. I personally like the Anthem 4 when it comes to 4 seaters because it is easier to handle. If you are going to do lots of pushing and walking, you might be better off with the Evenflo or Graco. If you want more of a pack n play on wheels, the Wonderfolds are pretty good.

So which wagon stroller is overall the best??

@KidTravel1

Жыл бұрын

We scored the Veer Cruiser the highest in our testing. It is great in terms of reliability and a lot of other factors like maneuverability, folding, lifting, etc. You can get most of that from the Anthem at a better price, plus with the Anthem 4 you get the flat nap mat included. So if you do a lot of walking and going down trails and walking paths, one of those might be best. If you primarily want to take it to events where its used to sit in and play on, or to parks as kind of a portable bassinet, then you might be better off with the Keenz 7S or if that's too expensive, the Ever Advanced foldable wagon

Would love it if you’d add maximum weight capacity to your ratings!

@KidTravel1

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for that note, I need to add that! I've noticed that kids outgrow wagons based on their height as well as their weight. The weight ends up being an issue because the wagon is harder to push. The height is a problem because they don't fit under some of the canopies and their knees and legs start running out of room.
