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."

The Best Kid Purchase I've Ever Made

"This wagon is without a doubt the BEST purchase I've ever made for my kids. I bought it last year for my daughter's first birthday and it's been her favorite toy. We take it EVERYWHERE from the playground to theme parks. Our two kids, now 2 and 6, adore this wagon. The seat belt has always kept the little one happy, the canopy is great with the sun, and the different seat settings really are a HUGE help. We will be adding the trailer this year! Everywhere we go, people ask us where we got our wagon! It is made REALLY well. If you're debating on spending the extra cash, seriously, this wagon is REALLY worth it! Our 2 year old has Autism Spectrum Disorder - and normally, taking her to a theme park wouldn't even be possible. This wagon has enabled us to do every day activities that most take for granted. I would recommend it to everyone with kids!"

Best Buy Ever!

"Wagon purchased for my daughters 2nd birthday. Two days later used at the BIG E fair in Springfield. BEST GIFT EVER! She loved being able to sit on either side and being able to use the adjustable drawing table for food and snacks. We also purchased the trailer (A MUST HAVE!!!) We loaded it to the top at the fair. I use it now for our "stuff" on long walks to give my daughter plenty of room to move about the wagon. Our Boston Terrier also likes taking a ride in the trailer LOL! It momentarily rained at the fair and yes, the canopy is waterproof. It doesn't look it by design but it kept the water completely out of the wagon. Plenty of cup holders for everyone. Turns on a dime (a little more difficult backing up and small turns with trailer but that's to be expected). I'm online now to purchase #2 for our lake home. I compared all Radio Flyer wagons and I'm glad I went with this one (LARGER wheels, adjustable seating, adjustable table). WORTH THE MONEY but do your homework and you may find coupons or deals throughout the summer. Make sure ODYSSEY ULTIMATE. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

Loving it!

"We recently took our daughter to Washington DC for the first time and decided to use her wagon instead of the boring stroller. We folded the handle down and carried it on the metro with no problem. It's probably heavier to carry than my husband would've liked but it's a big wagon so it's to be expected.



My 17 mo old daughter loved being able to ride and then later nap in it. I also would recommend getting a pad or using a blanket when using it as a nap spot. We had lots of comments on how cute it was. It's easier to get her in and out of it than a stroller.



It was also nice to have the storage area to hold our camera, purse, and diaper bag. We were able to fit 8 bottles of water in the cooler. Would've loved to use the canopy too but forgot it at home this time.



Ever since we've gotten back she runs up to her wagon to get rides.



A bit pricey but when you subtract the prices of the cooler and canopy (on this site at least) it seems to be comparable to the other wagons close to the same size."
