Is it good for everyday use for a short walk to preschool, about 5 minutes? will the wheels easy to control?

This wagon would be perfect for short trips to preschool, a safe, comfortable ride. I'd bet you'd shortly see others doing it. The wheels are very easy to control, with the front wheels attached to the handle mechanism. I love the canopy but it's easily removed for ease lifting kids in and out, especially if you're tall.

Yes, However, while I like the canopy, I wish the wagon had a door to make it easier for my 4yr old to get in while the canopy is attached. If you don't use the canopy I would say deffinately yes-it is good for everyday use but if you use the canopy keep in mind you will either be lifting/putting the kid in trying to keep from hitting their head on the canopy or you will be putting on and taking off the canopy daily. --Don't get me wrong--I love our radio flyer and love the padded seats- I have a 4yr old and a 1yr old. The seat belts are great for keeping our 1yr old in the wagon. :)

It's pretty quick. Both of my grandsons like it a lot and it moves pretty fast on a hard surface.

I think it is perfect for that age. I would say it works well for any little ones who are walking well up to three or four, even.

Cliff - not very fast but for small children it is fine. You can walk along side it. The pedal is on the floor and when you turn it on the lights go on. There is also a button that makes it go forward/reverse.

My father walks a mile tot he store and no problems. The wheels are sturdy and roll easy. I am not sure if my father pulls more than he pushes. But it should work easy both ways.

I use it as an everyday stroller. It maneuvers really well and isn't any bigger than other full size strollers.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :)

We have a couple of different walkers for our kids here and this one turns the easiest. The wheels don't pivot so it's not super easy, but my one year old can do it with a little effort.

Easily! It is very light, maneuverable, and durable, as well as has a couple of cup holders and will have room to stash a wallet and keys and some other treasures that are picked up along the way. I use it for my 8 year old and my 2 year old. Also to haul groceries, laundry, whatever else I need as my apartment is the furthest from any amenities! LOVE this wagon!

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!

It's pretty durable and light weight. It rolls well on harder surfaces. It is good for short period transport only.

It is pretty light and easy to fold. However the wheel fell off of mine after just three uses.

The wheels are a hard plastic (not rubber) and I can't tell you much about it's speed on hardwood floors since our house is mostly carpet. My son would push it sometimes on our wood floor entryway, but he can already walk so he wasn't using it for stability. I can't say much about it's use as a walker, but I could see a child who couldn't walk yet still enjoy riding on it. I hope that helps.

While plenty sturdy for walking at that weight, it would be pretty hard to control at speed. The plastic hardware robs this unit of lateral rigidity. And, compared to a B.O.B., it's pretty squirrelly at a 7:30 pace even with a 30lb child. Make sure the tires are pumped up and you spend some time really dialing in the alignment.

I bought two for my grand-kids (3 and 4) who are fairly healthy but they've quickly outgrown them. They're great for kids to get over their initial fear of 2-wheel bikes since their legs act as bike stands. They're definitely too small for a normal 5 year old - the seat can only be safely adjusted to 18" off ground. However, they're very sturdy - could easily handle adult weight. Hope this helps.

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was just starting to show interest in walking, and he was good with it. With some time, he was able to "steer" so he wouldn't get stuck. He has had it for a couple months and still pushes it and rides it.
