That's it... I need some new grandkids... The ones I have now are just too big.... And this is a great Wagon!

Uh.. why is a wagon $99.00 on SALE?? I swear I had one of these as a kid - and my parents would never have paid $99 for it.

hmmmm.....not to be nosy or anything BUT how many years ago was that? :-D

I see "Extra-large body for greater hauling capacity" but I'm wonder what the maximum load capacity is on this bad wagon?

If you have grandkids, let them think you bought it for them. But, trust me, you'll use this for just about anything...wheeling flats of flowers to the beds, moving that obnoxious bag of mulch across the yard, unloading groceries if you have a ways to carry them. We had one of these in the 70s and literally wore it out. I'm tempted to go for another - and yep, I have small grandchildren that will think I bought it for them :-)

This is a deal?
I bought the exact same wagon from Costco for $80.

The radio flyer website says that the weight capacity is 200 lbs.

We have the All-Terrain Wagon that has the metal bottom. The thing that is great about this one is the sides come off easily and makes it a flat bed of sorts. Great for hauling yard stuff. With the sides on it is great for hauling kids and all the stuff that goes with them.

We looked at this but since we knew we use it only for kids we went with the metal one. It gave a greater depth on the sides.

The tires on this are awesome. We have gone through muddy corn mazes, zoos and countless other non-paved outings. Never had it tip, get stuck or even get a flat. There are accessories you can buy on the radio flyer site that work with this wagon. Pads, umbrella, canopy and even a cooler. This is a really great wagon. At $100 it is a great price. We paid over $125 for ours 6 years ago.

Now, don't expect to be able to steer this down a hill on your own like you did as a kid. It does have a speed to tip ratio that is a bit higher.

Great wagon.

Just bought a similar version of wagon built by the Amish, $268 shipped. It's an extra wide model with really, REALLY huge all-terrain tires. It's 58 pounds empty (able to hold up to a 1000 lb. load) so this wagon offered here on Woot would be a great idea for parents who want to give their tot a nice ride around the park or neighborhood without the huge workout required by the type of wagon I invested in. In fact, this wagon might be the perfect fit for my miniature Blue Heeler, Miss LuLu. I bought the Amish wagon for my beloved Scottie whose ancient legs don't work so well anymore; he LOVES his new wagon and is so happy to be along for the ride.

We had this wagon twice. It did not survive intact for even one full summer each time. Having the sides be removable may be great if you want to use it as a flatbed, but kids just pull them out because they can and eventually they just get lost or break. The wheels are great though. The second wagon had the flat bed or the handle crack (I don't remember which) and we ended up combining parts and using that for a while.

The Wagon



(okay I'm going to bed now)

I got one of these off Craigslist for $50 a few years ago...then sold it the next summer for $50. The handle is too short for an adult to pull (I'm only 5'4"), and the back of my heals always got hit by the metal part where the handle connects to the wheels. I also scraped my legs on the screws that are in the removable sides...Did not like this wagon.

Cute write up on the wagon, and the wagon ain't too bad either. However, I'd hardly call $99 a bargain for a wagon... even if it is a Radio Flyer. Woot... where are the good deals like you used to have!?!?

Have to agree with the others that this price is awful. Just went and checked my northern tool catalogs, the xmas and spring free delivery issues have it at 74.99 and 69.99 respectively. Or much better quality ones for this hundred dollar range.

We bought one of these off Amazon a while back. The wheels can take it almost anywhere (except through thick beach sand... Ugh). The downhill requires a puller and a steadier at the back as to not eject the cargo. The bottom wood is unfinished... We finished it and our neighbors didn't... Finishing recommended. The thing reeks upon exiting the box... Recommend outside removal and airing of 24 hrs+. We love removability of sides as we have transformed into a costume coordinating "float" for Halloween parade. Handle is short for tall people 6'+, but if it were longer I think it would be more difficult to control.

The Radio Flyer shows this model for $160 http://www.radioflyer.com/wagons/all-terrain-cargo-wagon.html

The kids shown in the picture a pretty big, so this should be good for a long time if you bought this when your kids are young. It should last longer if you don't have kids or grandkids!

Our kid is 7 now and there isn't any pretense that it's for him. It's a great hauler, great for yard work, great for gardening, etc. We just inherited a 70 lb cedar chest, and one person got it safely into the house and back to the bedroom using this wagon. Didn't even make a mess; the wheels don't accumulate mud, etc. No serious wear or cracks after 7 years of hard use.
$99?? It's worth that, but I wouldn't call it a steal.

My husband bought me one of these several years ago to use at our seasonal camp site. We use it to lug ice, firewood, chairs....you name it. I LOVE my little red wagon !

I have this wagon, it's pretty nice. Much quieter than the hard wheels, and a nice smooth ride. Usually they are $159 at the store I think-- often on sale for $129. I paid $99 when it was on super sale, so this is a decent deal, but not amazing.

But did you factor in the cost of the Costco membership, or the trips to Costco that you over spent your budget....everyone I know who has a Costco member ship had to have shelves built in their garage. I'd rather pay the $10 more thank you....Former Costco Member

Mine is 15 and I use her wagon frequently for yard, garage, basement, etc. For several months, it hels a replacement toilet in the office.
