Radio Flyer Kids Red Wagon with 10 Inch Steel Wheels and Timeless Classic Design

Almost like the original but off road

Radio Flyer Classic Red WagonWhen 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.

Nice sturdy wagon! Children love it! No wooden racks to break or lose. doesn't tip easily

My 6 year old love it. Great tires for our dirt roads and snow.

Excelente muy buena calidad. Además el servicio q presto Dhl. Excelente

Overall I really like this wagon. The top outer edge was slightly bent from shipping but I was mostly able to bend it back into shape. Things to know: wagon comes with screws and nuts but no washers. The nuts cannot be screwed tight because they have a smaller edge on one side that stops them from being tightened. I added washers and was able to get the screws tight that way, otherwise the wagon would have been put together too loosely. The only other complaint I have is that the handle does not come back over the wagon itself. This might not matter to you but when I was a kid this was very important because it enable steering for a child that was riding in the wagon while being pushed from behind or riding down a hill. Probably this new design is on purpose to prevent accidents but it is a feature that was really cool to me and my 6 siblings, oh the thrills of almost dying as a kid!

This wagon is made really well... 2 parts are plastic-the pieces that hold the wheels on and the ball that allows the handle to swivel. I hope they hold up well. Only time will tell. That being said, the cart is going to make a great yard cart for me. It was challenging to get it together---the cotter pin didn't want to go in, but I eventually got it. The rest was easy but awkward for one person. For two it would probably be much easier.

I have to give this a four out five stars because of the pain to install the cotter key in castle nut. It took several hours to align it just right so it would work. Then there is no tool with it to bend it well. Unless you have wire twisting pliers. A file and some other tools not even mentioned.
