Radio Flyer Odyssey Ultimate Family Wagon Review

Couldn't be any happier with this wagon

Super Informative

"We had a Discovery (model #2600) but found this wagon to be much more versatile and flat out enjoyable. I read through the reviews for this wagon on this site as well as other sites. They are not exaggerating about being extremely careful while assembling the tires. There are 3 common errors to look out for. 1) There are two front axels that are NOT interchangeable. Make sure you use the left axel for the left side of the wagon and right for the right side. 2) There are different washer sizes (1 1/2" and 1"). 3) Also make sure you install the wheels with the hubcap portion on the outside (I know very basic, but the front axels can confuse some people). If you install the wheels incorrectly. I found the best way to remove the axel from the wheel is to use a hammer to knock it back out (opposite direction). I know, because it took me a half hour of trying to pull out the improperly installed axel from the tire. It took me 30 seconds to knock the axel out with the hammer.One of my biggest concerns about purchasing this particular model was what the wheels were made of. As mentioned before we previously owned the Discovery (model #2600) which had real rubber tires that were very nice. I was afraid that the Odyssey had cheap plastic tires like a big wheel that would eventually crack and break over time. However, after looking at the display model in the store I quickly realized that they are a very hard rubber type material. The same material that most wheels of strollers are made of. Anyone who is familiar with strollers know that the wheels are durable and quiet (almost as quiet as real rubber wheels). Nonetheless, I was very relieved, because the wheels were my only apprehension for this purchase.My 15 month son loves this wagon and we could not be happier. It is very practical, plenty of room for up to two kids. My six year old nephew fit with my 2 year old niece with no problem. All the kids love it, they were practically fighting to ride in the wagon. The seat belts work very well. My son sits comfortably for a couple of hours on more than one occasion. I really like the versatility of this wagon. I especially like converting one seat into the activity table which is incredibly handy for my little one. All this done with more than ample storage space in any seat formation.I really like the canopy. It is a godsend especially if you don't want your little one to be out in the sun too long. It makes this ride so much more comfortable. It's easy to install or remove. The portable cooler that comes with the Toys R Us model is nice but that's debatable whether everyone can utilize it or not.This wagon is very well made in almost every aspect. It's not cheap at [$]. However, the amount of joy it has already brought to my family, I believe we have already received our return on this investment and then some.Bottom line is this wagon will bring happiness and quality time to our family and I'd buy it again."
