After a lot of sweet talking on my part, I convinced my husband to let me purchase neighbor's child in a cheap wagon years before and didn't want a repeat event. We've pulled kids, laundry baskets, compost, rocks, produce and garden supplies into the house and outdoors over sidewalks, paved and gravel roads, and rough terrain. My husband has tied it to the back of his bike to haul kids, food and drink, and blankets. We've brought it on camping trips to haul kids, water, and garbage. We've used it at fairs and amusement parks. It's been housed in a pole barn and left out in the rain. Our kids have taken it coasting down our driveway. My husband has had to repair a metal piece on the bottom recently; otherwise, it has held up very well. It doesn't tip and is amazingly sturdy. It's well worth the price!
