Radio Flyer Classic Red Wagon

観葉植物用のワゴンとして購入しました。日当りがよい場所にまとめて移動させるのに便利だし、重たい鉢をいくつのせてもスイスイ動かせて、とても重宝しています。

Radio Flyer Classic Red Wagon When 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. 08/06/2010 - I set the wagon on its side with the tires facing the sun on my front porch. I left it like that for a couple of weeks. At the end of that time, no more smelly tires! I keep this in the house and love its usefulness.

Solid construction. Fairly easy to put together. My grandson loved it.

If you only have one choice of toy for any child 1 1/2 yr or older this is it. The two toddlers I bought it for never stopped squealing with laughter until they had to put it in trunk to go home. Their parents who never had a wagon enjoyed it just as much as the kids. Really, who can resist climbing in to give it a try? It's the perfect toy when you need a gift for two children close in age because it's best operated with a pal to push, pull and ride with you. This wagon is exactly like the one my brother and I were given in 1958. We never out-grew it. The one improvement Radio Flyer has made since 1958 is designing the handle so it folds under the wagon making it easy to haul in the trunk. Especially good is the complete and total lack of plastic, mechanization, liscensed characters and annoying talking sounds. It operates solely by imagination and muscle power. The wagon I ordered seats two to three children easily depending on age. It's solid steel, over 31 pounds. Built to take years of coasting down hills. Years of hauling toys, or weeds, or branches and kindling. Very useful in the garden hauling bedding plants or holding the harvest. Recommend that you store this INSIDE out of rain. A garage, basement or even a covered porch will do. Makes a good toy storage unit when not in use. Thank you Amazon for the great sale price and free shipping during the holidays. This was the best Christmas I've had since 1958.
