On the other hand, turns are incredibly smooth, even in confined areas, like when we pushed it through a doorway one-handed during our test. The push-or-pull leather handlebars adjust to 10 positions for adults to find a comfortable maneuvering height. Plus, you can tap a bright red pedal with your foot to put the stroller wagon in brake mode. Most stroller wagons have large wheels and a fairly robust suspension system and are designed to handle both smooth and rough terrain. Many feature both push and pull functionality and, unlike traditional wagons, stroller wagons either fold or break down in some way to make them more compact for portability.
These extra-large, extra-wide wheels make it even easier to maneuver your wagon at the beach. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a solid option that comes with lots of accessories and won’t set you back quite as much as other stroller wagons on the market. Disney theme parks and water parks have very specific rules around what types of strollers are allowed and which aren’t—and stroller wagons don’t make the cut. Strollers larger than 31” in width and 52” in length are not permitted, and neither are stroller wagons.
In our lab, it took us less than 10 minutes to assemble the unit for the first time. You only have to make sure you remove the canopy beforehand, which conveniently fits in the storage evenflo car seat and stroller pocket outside of the wagon. Pushing this Delta Children stroller wagon around was enjoyable—even after we loaded it with sandbags and toys—thanks to a height-adjustable handlebar.
We only encountered an issue with the brake’s placement—we kept hitting it with our foot when trying to go over a curb. There are two height-adjustable leather handlebars on each end of the Keenz XC for comfort (and style), and they both collapse for a more compact storage size. The wagon folds in half to 24.75 x 20.5 x 29 inches for uncomplicated storage and portability, but we wish it was more compact. On the plus side, you don’t have to remove the child’s tray or canopies to collapse it, and it stands on its own when folded. After the maneuverability test, we collapsed the stroller wagons, noting how hard or easy the folding process was.
First, we unboxed the stroller wagons and carefully laid parts and pieces out to assemble them. Next, we set a timer and tracked how long it took us to assemble the stroller wagons according to the manufacturer’s directions. Once assembled, we looked them over to ensure they were solid, stable, and ready for use. Then, we noted the weight limit of the stroller wagons, placed a 25-pound sandbag inside (two sandbags for two-seaters) to simulate a child’s weight, and buckled them in. The Keenz XC is the highest-priced stroller wagon on our list, but it’s clear why that is.
