As a Step2 Test Drive Blogger, we recently got sent the new Touring Wagon to review. Other than a little toy wagon, it’s actually the first wagon we’ve had for the kids. And, boy were they excited to check it out!
This Step2 Touring Wagon has SO many great features! And, it actually is really versatile, as it has 3-in-1 functionality including sit-in, lie down and flatbed options! The removable table surface can be configured so your kiddos can sit and snack while they ride. Or, the table trays can go over the storage/foot area making a flat, enclosed area for kids to lie down in (perfect if you have a sleeping little one). You can even forgo the little ones altogether 😉 and use the wagon like a utility flatbed! Just leave the table trays over the storage area like in the lie down mode and then pop off the blue sides! Super convenient!
Pretty cool, right?! When you’re going to be spending money on a kid product like this, I like it when there is as much versatility as possible! So, I think all the different functions are great! And, the boys LOVE the trays! Even Baby Brother has gotten in on the action! With the safety straps in there, at not even 9 months old, he was able to ride in the wagon to go over to the park!
He loved it! He’s currently in the patting stage where he likes to pat (& bang) on everything! So, Baby Brother thought having the tray there was perfect! As he starts eating more finger foods it’s going to be even more convenient!! 😉
I think we have MANY years of future use with this wagon! To give you a little more visual description of how everything works, you can check out our video! Little Brother was keen on helping! 😉
What features of the wagon look best to YOU?
