Review on Radio Flyer Odyssey Stroller Wagon by Larry Allen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Handles some issues well

All in all, we've gone from a stroller to this one, and it's a lot nicer than items in the $50-$100 range. The quality feels solid and the materials are nice. However. Our concerns: Velcro on the bottom seems like they could implement a better system. Thus, the Velcro prevents the stroller from collapsing (pulling out from the middle). You could use a click system instead of what you have to manually attach from below and detach each time. It's very easy to forget it like we do and pull the middle to fold it without opening the velcro and it just tears off and now we have no way to fix it. My biggest complaint is that the wheels seem to be. Balance? It's nothing to screw up in terms of installation, you just plug it in. The front wheels pull to the right, so when you are pushing the stroller you are constantly fighting the stroller as it tries to turn to the right. It's pretty annoying, to be honest. I expected a high end stroller not to have such issues. We have also used Uppa strollers and they are smooth as butter. It's like pushing a stroller that someone in front is pulling in one direction. The pusher seems to be tilted a bit now, as it's trying with all its might to keep pushing to the left. Having two kids in a stroller isn't easy, even for a 180 lb man like me. For that reason alone I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe we have a lemon. probably no. I don't see how that can be an issue with small wheels as they should move freely, right? Either way, our cheap stroller rolls much easier. I'm at a loss as I've been waiting for this for a long time before using it. I will try to contact the company to see what they can do and update if they do anything for us.
