Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon (Wayfarer Black)

UPDATE: After having this wagon for nearly a year, I figured I would update my review. The wagon has held up extremely well, and we take this thing everywhere, including on deep sandy beaches, and we leave it outside for weeks on end. It has held up so well and functions like new. It still rolls smoothly and the fabric is very durable. Honestly, if we spent the time to detail this thing, it could probably pass as brand new.I love that my kids can sit up and look around as we roll them around the zoo or wherever we happen to be adventuring. The sides of the shades are netted so the kids can still look around when the shades are up (some people complain that this defeats the purpose a bit of the shade, but it's a welcome tradeoff for us). It's so much more fun for them than being strapped back into a stroller. It's still a "must have" in my book for those with 2 kids close in age.That said, there are a few things that could be improved.-The handle when using as a stroller could be a bit longer. I'm 5' 4" and it's barely long enough for me, and my shins tend to swipe against the storage basket while walking. My husband, who is 5'11" agrees that the handle should be longer. This is the biggest issue I have with it and it bugs me a little every time we take it out.-The detachable shades slide out very easily, and my 19 month old thinks it's hilarious to pull them out. I wish they had some sort of child lock or mechanism that made them more difficult to remove.-The back wheels stick out, which makes the wagon fairly wide, and while I'm not an engineer, it doesn't seem like it's necessary for them to be so wide. It's not really an issue, but moving them in an inch or so would make a noticeable difference.-It gets very grimy from a mixture of the kids spilling things, their feet smashing crackers and other food that drops into the foot rest area, and sand. It's easy enough to clean by spraying it down with a high-pressure hose, and a bit of scrubbing, but I wish we could easily remove the foot area and ideally the whole fabric piece and toss it in the washer.-The kids tend to kick each other (or their feet barely brush against each others feet, which in toddler world can be a major offense), and if it's an "off" day for them, this will cause them to start fighting and whining. There's probably not much Evenflo can do about that, but just a fair warning that the foot area isn't the roomiest (and doesn't need to be in terms of actual physical space).Original review:This is perfect for us. We have a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old. The double stroller was not ideal because one kid always had to sit on bottom or in back. Now they can sit together and they just love riding in this thing. It folds and unfolds easily, seems to be well made, and is comfortable to push and pull.The only downsides we’ve found are that it has a tough turning radius simply because it’s a wagon and it’s not something that you’d want to take anywhere you’ll need to pop it up and down on curbs. You can’t just put your foot down on the bar and push on the handles to pop it up on a curb, it’s just not built for that. It’s great for everyday use, to the playgrounds the beach, etc. the little storage basket holds our beach toy bucket, towels, and blanket, and the pockets hold the kids’ water and bottles. It’s perfect for our little weekend adventures.Some may be surprised by how wide it is or how big it is when folded, but we went from the Nuna Demi Grow double stroller, which was just as wide, just as heavy, and even larger when folded. Plus, with the Nuna, we had to remove the seats separately and then fold the frame. This wagon folds all in one piece. So, if you have a big double stroller to begin with, this will be a welcome change or, at least, not worse than what you’re already used to.

I will start out by saying I have owned the mothership of all wagons, Wonderfold W4. Which I do love BUT it takes up too much trunk space and is too heavy for me to take places. I believe the Wonderfold W4 is 58 lbs and the Evenflo is 37 lbs.I wanted something smaller and lighter for every day use that I can keep in my car, a Suburban, and still have space for groceries.In all honesty I didn’t want to spend money on another expensive wagon only to find it was too heavy and took up my whole trunk again.The wagon was very easy to assemble, just snap on the wheels, click on the canopies, and attach the handle with screws and included Allen wrenches and we were ready to go on a walk in about 10 minutes.I used the wagon with my 20 month old and newly 6 year old. I tried the heavier child in both positions and didn’t notice the wagon handle any differently.The sunshades and good coverage and my 6 year old could fit under. We ended up not using the tray table because my 6 year old’s knees were touching it and it bothered him.The wagon will mostly be used for my 20 month old and the other seat is for kid gear when we are out and about but wanted to test it with a heavier child.One thing I didn’t see in the listing or any reviews that actually was important to me was that the basket could go on either the front or back. So that is the first thing I tested. And in fact the basket works on both the front and back of this wagon.We probably won’t use the nap mat but i tested that out too and is a nice feature if you have kids who will nap while you are out. Mine definitely won’t.I was debating between this wagon and the Veer City. I do not regret it at all! I couldn’t justify spending so much on a wagon and still have to buy the accessories I wanted some of which are on back order for a long time. This wagon has everything you need. I put on a parent console for my drinks. And the. Asker on the back for my kids lunch boxes and cups.We are going to put the wagon through the wringer this week by trying it out at the beach and at the pumpkin patch.I have now taken the wagon to the beaches of Destin, Florida where we have deep powder sand. And to the pumpkin patch at a farm with uneven hilly ground. And the wagon handled both like a champ. I have taken my Wonderfold to this same pumpkin patch and it could not handle the uneven ground but the Evenflo could no problem! And the option to pull the wagon through the sand made getting to the waterline so much easier. I won’t even attempt the beach with the Wonderfold. Now ballon tires would make pulling this wagon effortless. So you will still need to be in decent cardiovascular shape to pull a wagon over the deep sand but it was doable and made getting down to the waterline much easier than trying to carry the baby and the stuff. And especially then once we got to the boardwalk it was smooth sailing again. Sand didn’t even stick to the wagon.While I was sitting next to the wagon on the beach I also realized there is elastic on the side so you can put things in there like water bottles or rolled up towels.What I would possibly improve would be making the footwell have the ability to unzip so you could shake it out. But it was easy enough to vacuum though and I love how big it was. And I wish that Evenflo would make balloon tires for the beach. They would blow the competition out of the water if they did. But over all this was a great buy and I would definitely buy it again.
