Pros
- Lightweight and foldable makes it easy to pop in the minivan
- Capacity – huge payload area

- Weight capacity

Not ideal for multiple kids or heavy loads but this wagon is a perfect application for the swap meter, fair-goer, city-dweller or local park enthusiast – keep it on solid ground…unless you opt for the beach version below.
