Pros

• 24.0 lb, by far the lightest wagon in the test

Cons

• No rear push handle: it can only be pulled

The honest limit, and the reason it is not higher: No rear push handle: it can only be pulled.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ease of use

Nine, first in this guide. The best in this guide for effort. A central pull-up loop folds the whole steel chassis inward like a camping chair, and at 24.0 lb on David's scale it is the lightest wagon here to carry.

Maneuverability

Six, tenth in this guide. A pull wagon first and foremost. With no rear push handlebar, Carlos had to drag it behind him everywhere. Pulling 70 lb of children and gear down a sidewalk for two miles was a serious forearm and shoulder workout, and downhill he had to use his trailing leg to keep it from bumping his heels.

Transport & storing

Nine, first in this guide. At 24.0 lb it folds to a 12 × 21 × 32 inch column, small enough to toss in with folding chairs and towels. For a short walk to the beach the testers called its trunk convenience unmatched.

Build quality

Six, joint ninth of 10. The folding steel chassis is light, but David's accelerometer logged punishing vibration: with no suspension, surface chatter from rough asphalt travels straight into the seating platform. Sarah strongly criticized the loose two-point lap straps, which let a child lean dangerously over the sidewall within five minutes.

Kid comfort

Six, tenth of 10. Elena found the unpadded canvas base offers no ergonomic support, and the older child slumped sideways as soon as they tired. The loose lap straps, and the vibration from rough asphalt, do the rest.

Should You Buy the Radio Flyer 3-in-1 EZ Fold Wagon?

Buy it for this: 24.0 lb, by far the lightest wagon in the test. One central pull folds it like a camping chair to 12 × 21 × 32 in.

Go in knowing this: No rear push handle: it can only be pulled. David's accelerometer logged heavy vibration from rough asphalt, with no suspension to damp it.

Scored against the same five criteria as everything else here, this is a question of fit rather than quality. The gear that gets used is the gear that suits your week.
