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

I wanted a wagon for my son that was just like the one I had when I was little. The metal one is always cold and this one we loved playing with as children.

I bought it for a friend that had one when he was a child and wanted to have another one to tote things around his yard in. It brought back memories of his childhood.

It would probably be okay because the wagon and the wheels are sturdy, but it'd probably not move all that fast as it would be if were something that just had one or two wheels, like a wheelbarrow for example.

Yes, definitely. Not sure how long you'll want to push/pull two in it. It's not the easiest for me, my husband has to do it most of the time. Great wagon, we love it!

Thanks, I should have thought of that! Metallic back is definitely the way to go... can't wait to finally get one this Friday!

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.

I would have to agree w/ "CyberTom's" response as the one I own flexes a great deal. I would look into something w/ a steel/aluminum frame.

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!

I returned this wagon because it was made in China. I purchased a Berlin Flyer Wagon because it was made in the USA. My grandson loves the wagon, very well built, almost identical to the radio flyer. It stops quickly if you are pulling it and cease to pull it anymore.

Go with the one that appeals to you the most. If the wheels are the same diameter, I think that they would be essentially the same.

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

This wagon is 100% made in China. You can smell it through the box. As if that wasn't bad enough, get ready to spend 5 hours building something that should only be used as a cutsie department store holiday decoration. God forbid it ever gets wet, too. It's all wood. I put one of these together last christmas for a relative with a small child. The wheels are held on with friction nuts which eventually can work themselves off. My only suggestion would be to get the one that had a metal tub, not wood. This thing has to be put together properly by someone with experience. Mine came together almost perfectly but in my humble opinion, it's not a real, durable wagon. This wagon is 100% made in China. You can smell it through the box.

I'd use a wagon before I would use a hand truck. I bought a soft case for all of it for around $125.00 and carry it in that. it would easily fit in a wagon and I would think it would be a lot more stable.

I bought one used, looks like a good wagon, I plan to try and use one of the holes in the bottom to hold an umbrella and just get some sort of rubber piece to hold it in place.

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

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 have had both and I can honestly say I think the wood is sturdier. It seems much more secure!

The picture shown is metal mesh topped. I did not pay $85.00 for it so maybe the wooden one is $85.00. Mine had no wood. I love wooden potting benches, but I love this metal one more. It is outside in my potting shed and it has seen snow and rain and whatever came from the heavens and it shows no wear. Love it.
