Review on Folding Wagon Canopy by Radio Flyer by Kenneth Murphy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

We love this car but we'll add a warning and deduct 2 stars.

November 9th 2018: Updated original review: My little one is 10 days away from her 3rd birthday but we really enjoyed her early birthday. To this day, when one of the dome's bars pinched her little finger very hard when she pulled it back. I posted this photo of her bruised and bruised little hand taken while she was sleeping. Toys must not cause injuries. She learned all the functions of the van and easily learned how to raise and lower the canopy bars, zip and unzip the sides, Velcro, etc. And there it was. She still loves that station wagon, but I'm upset it hurt her. Learning to zip, zip, zip is an important part of learning, and this van is just begging to be learned by little owners. I would like an explanation. .but I agree with just warning other adults about what happened. This is the original rating: (Four Stars) I bought this van as a 3rd birthday present on November 19th. It arrived earlier than promised and although it arrived with a badly damaged box the car itself and all the parts were in excellent condition. Due to the damaged box and my excitement, I opened it up early and reassembled it. .and managed to keep it a secret for about 3 days before I took my favorite little man on a road trip with an early birthday present. . I was unduly afraid of the meeting. To those who wrote that "the wheel falls off": Those front wheels are marked L or R, and so is the van. Push them in firmly until they click into place. The fabric part of the car has already been assembled. So 2 clicks are enough for the front wheels and 2 clicks for the rear wheels that need to be hammered. (Why they chose to use plastic wheel cranks on a metal shaft is a bit concerning). . . and easypeazy handle assembly. The ride is smooth and should be really comfortable judging by the cozy happy smile. .Also, it almost doesn't feel like you're pulling weight, it's certainly a lot easier than pushing a stroller. . For the most part, it handled a variety of terrain well. We're where the city turns green, so there's sidewalks, sandy areas, asphalt, all the curbs are built in the form of embankments, and I've noticed that not all four tires stay on the ground when there are those Going up or down slopes, ie e.g. I observed a tire. off the ground several times when I was extremely careful and drove slowly. .but this is a wagon. and it's safer and certainly more manoeuvrable than the wagons we had and then had our children. The sun visor works very well, but I couldn't fold it down to its original small size despite video editing. I expect this van to cover many, many miles on many great adventures. Besides, the handle is long enough for a tall person to pull comfortably, and it's not so heavy that it's easy to put on and take off. It closes and opens easily, but I agree with all the other writers that the lack of a wheel lock is an oversight that needs to be corrected. I would buy this station wagon again and have already had around a dozen questions from interested passers-by as to where I got it from. .4 stars only for: damaged packaging, missing wheel locks, plastic rear wheel assembly and hubcaps.
