How did you decide on this metal wagon vs wood one?

I thought the metal wagon would hold up better and last longer through the grandchildren.

This was strong but not too heavy. Our grandson was only 2 at the time. He pulls it all over their yard. Great product.

The only thing I would not recommend it for is the canopy... Was not sturdy and didnt not lock in place like it was supposed to. The wagon was perfect otherwise

No benefit. Wood is better. The only benefit that could be is it's light, good for transporting. If you don't need to move it around get wood. More solid. This set up is a little wobbly. Not the real thing but it works.

if the wagon is on pavement and empty it should be easy to pull depending of course on how old/big the kid is. its a very well built wagon and is heavier than a play wagon. filled with lumber and bogged down in mud would be difficult even for some adults. its a matter of common sense.

The pantograph is metal (aluminum-type). My 1st pantograph~ maybe it's supposed to be rickety (ie. flexible). I wasn't impressed.

I have been researching this item to purchase, and multiple reviews on multiple sites state that this type of wagon is not a good beach wagon. Sand does not let thinner wheels roll easily (for example, it is very hard to ride a bike on sand). A lot also depends on how much weight you put in the wagon. So buy at your own discretion for beach use.

The wheels are a fairly strong plastic and the way they are attached gives the wagon good maneuverability. The wagon is sturdy yet light weight and my grandson loves it.

I don't think it is better. This one is a good one and sturdy but still it is also tend to wobble as you are saying. At the end it is a plastic drawer and dont expect it to act like wooden or metal drawers.

I have purchased both: this one is an all metal frame. Incredibly sturdy. The front tire is a real tire (think bike tire), which is the reason for needing to purchase a new one from the original one--the plastic tire(s) wore holes in all of them. I highly recommend this one for quality. For convenience, not as much, this is MUCH heavier. Can't just throw it in the back of the vehicle to take to grandmas house ;-)

I really don't know. I ordered the wagon for my dog who could not walk. Coupled with her weight of 58 pounds, the wagon was relatively easy to pull. I also have a bad back and was carrying her until she passed away. The wagon is very good. I recommend it.

We love this wagon! Didn't have any issues with a strong smell and we're sensitive to that. Also ordered as a gift for a friend who equally loves it :)

Compared to a regular one-wheeled wheelbarrow, the Gorilla cart is infinitely easier. Compared to a two-wheeled cart, it is still probably easier depending on how well made the two-wheeled cart is, and the nature of your back issues. I could transport heavier loads in my old wooden-sided two wheeled cart, but it was very well-balanced (and two or three times the price). I'd say the Gorilla cart is harder on your arms and legs if you are hauling a heavy load.

The wagon is very sturdy, but because of the wheels, it might be a little tricky when it comes to pulling up! Even from the side, I am not sure--our granddaughter is a "featherweight", so she didn't pull it over, but it would still 'wiggle' when she grabbed hold of it because of the wheels. I hope this helps you. I still think the pros outweigh any cons on this wagon!

I believe so! Anything! I think it's great for camping, firewood, ice chests....we use it around the office and events! Love the wagon!

I agree with Barb. It is very nice quality. I bought the blocks with the wagon so there was storage. It was for our Granddaughter's 1st birthday, but it is something she can play with for a long time. You won't be disappointed.

We have the wooden one. I bought it for my son for Christmas 2012. He loves it & still plays with it! I highly recommend!

I've had this one for almost 2 years now. The only reported design flaw on this wagon is how the front wheels are welded to the frame. They will hold fine as long as you aren't too rough with heavily loading it or using it on rough terrain. If you're heavily loaded you have to go over bumps carefully and pull up on the front so they don't bend back and or break the welds. I'm a hobby welder so I simply reinforced the legs when mine started showing signs of stress. Another alternative that doesn't require a welder might be to pick up a couple pieces of conduit strap from your local hardware store and screw it into the frame to give the leg welds a little more support.
