They must have updated the manual because loading the car seat into the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIG_q-ZqgbzYXwbeApK3AybegDUy4f2fF double stroller was mentioned in the manual (unlike previous comments/reviews). The undercarriage basket is quite large but it is difficult to access when the back rider is reclined, however my toddler usually doesn't fall asleep in the stroller these days so I haven't had an issue. I was amazed by how smooth the ride was and how easily I was able to maneuver the stroller in small spaces. My toddler loves that she can see her baby sister (see photo) during the ride :) Plus you can't beat the price! I have only loaded it once in my car and it is fairly light but my mother wouldn't be able to lift it in.
I will get this one based on parent comfort and usability because to me that's the most important part. I've had strollers in the past which have been too short because I'm tall and being able to push it without bending over is the most important thing that I consider when purchasing a stroller/wagon. I saw a lady pushing this around at a zoo and immediately knew I needed it. Thanks for this review. I can deal with everything else about it as long as it is comfortable for me as a parent. :-)
The handle goes up pretty high, to 41 inches, so you should be fine. And its great that you've seen it personally and know the strengths and weaknesses to be able to make a good decision! Lots of people ask us which one they should get, but it depends on so many things, so we just try to tell it like it is as much as possible and let parents figure out which part is important or unimportant to them. I'm sure you and your kids will be happy with it. Lots of people love it.
For steering / maneuvering, why wasn’t it tested using the handles on the other end where the wheels swivel? I would imagine it would turn easier similar to the veer. Thoughts?
Hey Kevin, very fair comment. Clearly its not apples to apples when the Veer wheels swivel in the back where the handle is and the Jeep rear-handle is over non-swiveling wheels. The Veer has no handle in the front where the wheels are fixed, the Wonderfold has no handle in the front where the wheels swivel. Some other wagons have pull handles but not push handles over the swiveling wheels. We were trying to test every product in the same way so the comparison would be as legitimate as possible. So we ended up doing the push and turn force testing from the rear push handles, as this is by far the most common use case. However, it does wind up making unfair comparisons for some products because they don't have enough in common to be legitimately compared. Honestly in all my usage of the Jeep, I do find it more challenging to maneuver for the reasons mentioned in the video, than most other wagons. But that doesn't mean it isn't a great wagon, just that it doesn't compare as favorably imo in that category.
I agree with your perspective. I have this wagon and have absolutely no problems with push, pull or steering. My son is 70lbs plus the gear we take and the push is very smooth.
When you are using the Jeep as a stroller-wouldn't the two big wheels be in front and the two smaller in the back? Of course it is not going to steer or maneuver well if you are pushing it backwards. Watching a person push it backwards and say how horrible the steering is was painful.
Yes, like watching someone try to strike a match with the wrong end would be painful! But that's not the case for the Jeep. It was designed to be pushed from the back, where the rear wheels are, where the brake pedal is, where the wheels are fixed, not swivel, etc.
The manual includes instructions for attaching Graco, Chicco, Evenflo, and Britax infant car seats. I'm not sure if it is compatible with any besides those.
Steering and maneuverability is my main concern, I have a 3 year old and 6 month.which wagon pushes easy with heavy kids? And stuff in theme parks? I went to a theme park with a tandem stroller double and it was awful cells like my wrist are broke pushing that weight and wheels getting stuck trying to turn..and avoid people a d go around in crowds..I need your help on this
The wagons that do the best at turning and pushing are the: Veer, Evenflo, Anthem, Keenz 7S and Baby Trend, in that order. Veer and Anthem turn really easily but you have to get used to the swivel wheels being in back instead of the front. I think any of those first 3 wagons will handle more easily than most tandem strollers. You definitely want the heavier kid in the back in wagons (in the front for Veer/Anthem).

I could not fit it in my Honda Civic

Very thorough! I would love to see some content on double strollers in the near future!
Thank you Gracee
I’m thinking about taking off the wheels when putting it in the trunk 🤔

Does any infant car seat adapt?

Thank you for sharing this video with so much detail 👍👍👍
So nice of you to take the time to write!

Not easy on sandel feet ❄️
Yep!
Great video!
I would love to see a review like this for the Delta Children Hercules wagon!
Thank you Angie! The Hercules is a good lower-price option. We'll consider it for our next round of testing.
i returned this steering was horrible. almost perect but the steering is just that bad...ugh
And returning something big like a wagon is not fun/easy, I've had to do it a couple of times myself now.
We found steering worked best when pushing from the opposite side. Took a couple times to get used to but it corners so well
