I've been seeing families use these collapsible wagons when we're out and about. I think it's genius! I wished I know about them before we bought the Radio Flyer wagon. Being able to collapse the wagon is so much more convenient to throw in the car for outings and storage.
A quick Amazon search showed that the one by Mac sports is the most highly rated. Anyone have one of these? Pros and cons?
I'm thinking of selling the radio flyer one and buying a collapsible one!

My best friend has one and it was AWESOME bringing our two boys to the farmer's market and the beach last summer.

@regberadaisy: I don't think they are meant to hold people - is the bottom flat and hard?
Target sells these (to use at the beach or sporting events, etc) - maybe go check them out there first.

My SIL has a similar one with a canopy--I highly recommend the canopy! It's detachable. We use it for my nieces at renaissance festivals, since we're at them about 14 weekends per year. I love the wagon, it folds up neatly and easily, holds a 3 y/o and 1 y/o well (when the 1 y/o stays in....) and is light and maneuverable.

Grandma (my mom) has one that she keeps in the back of her car at all times and we love it! I think hers is actually made by Subaru!

I have one that I got from costco and all my friends bought it too bc it's so convenient. My LO rode in it all last summer (she was 2.5). I loved just having it in my car and being able to unfold it and put all of our stuff in it - packed lunches, beach toys, towel and splash park gear, etc. It made it so easy to throw my stuff in and put LO in and get walk from the parking lot to the splash park or picnic area or trail. I love it!

@rachiecakes: @sandy: @cmomma17: @drjolene: can you find out for me what brand it is? Is it used as is? Like @Mamaof2: mentioned is there a bottom that came with or is it fine without? Thanks!

I've just started seeing these, but not as a child's wagon. Everyone uses them for gardening and beach stuff around here. Never thought to look for one for kids. Would be way more convenient than the radio flyer!

My mom confirmed hers is a Subaru, that she ordered through them online. It is like this picture but without the cooler. We use it as is. She said she also sees them often at the hardware store.

We have one we got from Aldi but we saw one at Costco recently, as well. They're AWESOME for toting stuff! We're taking ours to the beach this year, too. It's not meant to hold kids but Megan rides in it just fine.

My sister has one for her boys and we put all 3 kids in there all the time. (They are 1.5 and 2.5, but all weigh about 30 lbs.). The bottom is not hard, but it the kids all ride just fine. She got hers at Costco last summer, but I've seen them there and at Target recently.

@regberadaisy: it's just used as is and the bottom is sturdy enough to hold a small child. LO is 3.5 and big for her age and still rides in it fine.
This is the same one that they have at costco. I think it's $50 at costco

I just got the costco one! I wanted to compare it to the Mac sports on from Amazon to see what the better buy is.
@drjolene: I would love to know who makes the one with a canopy!

@regberadaisy: It looks like the one @Sandy: linked to, but it was $50something!
ETA: It actually says it's not to be used for transporting children. Glad I kept the receipt!

Bumping- any updates or specific brand that anyone loves? We can't make a hard plastic wagon work with our current setup, but would love to retire the strollers.
Right now I'm liking the ones from The Wagon Store via Amazon, anyone have experience with these?
