It is so easy to switch from wagon to stroller. I’ve had times when I’m pushing on concrete and need to go off into grass or gravel, and I can switch in literally 3 seconds. It is really convenient to not have limitations on where I can go with this wagon. It feels super solid when pushing in stroller mode.
After all, spring is just around the corner, and there will be trips where this stroller wagon will be a lifesaver. The Baby Trend is bulky when folded making it more cumbersome to load and stow in a vehicle. There is no footwell and the seats are straight up and down resulting in a less comfortable evenflo wagon stroller ride for children. It also didn’t perform quite as well in our terrain and steering tests. These two stroller wagons are similar in price with the Evenflo generally running higher. The inner dimensions of these wagons is almost identical except that the Evenflo has a footwell.
We’re Fathercraft, a company built by dads, for dads. We review baby and kid gear, create online courses for new parents, and make stuff that makes parenting (even) more fun, like our diaper bag for dads. You can learn more about Fathercraft here. There is a removable tray that snaps right in the middle of the wagon for the kids to put cups and snacks.
You and your child’s satisfaction is our main priority. If you have any problems, questions, or concerns, you may contact us through email or by the phone number listed below. The handle is at a comfortable height, so you just buckle your child or children in, and use it as a regular push stroller. If you want to use it as a wagon, just unclip the handlebar so it’s free and you can pull the whole thing as a wagon. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore Stroller Wagon is exactly what it sounds like––both a stroller and a wagon all-in-one. It has an adjustable handle on it that can pivot positions and be locked into place for use as a stroller for pushing, or unlocked and extended to move freely to pull as a wagon.
These were the top two performing 2-seater wagons in our testing and we recommend both of them. The Xplore is significantly less expensive but the Veer has rugged construction not found in any other stroller wagon. The Pivot Xplore is the only stroller wagon we tested with a separate brake pedal on each rear wheel. All the other wagons had a single pedal that braked both wheels.
So, before you buy this (or any large wagon/stroller), just know that you need a vehicle that can provide the room needed to transport this thing around. To switch from stroller mode (push) to wagon mode (pull) is also extremely easy. Two latches allow you to swing the handlebar over into wagon mode.
These include the Radio Flyer Discovery, Jeep Wrangler and Keenz 7S. Those wagons are 2 or 3″ longer and 2″ wider than the Xplore. Pivot Xplore seats are padded and reasonably comfortable.
Some parents might be scared of the 3-point harness, but for us it’s the only way. My kids despite the 5-point harness and we had to create our own versions a certain stroller didn’t offer that option. Generally, the Wonderfold is great for kids but not so great for parents. It is more difficult than other wagons to fold, stow and steer. Whereas the Evenflo performs well in all of those areas. The Pivot Xplore doesn’t have room for kids to move around or play.
We did three very short trips with the kiddos and the wagon is dirty. It’s naturally not the wagon’s fault that my kids can be messy, especially the younger one. Sitting facing each other has its consequences. The wheels are made of a combination of plastic and rubber in contrast to most other wagons with wheels made from EVA foam. Stroller wagons that are boxier in shape and look more like classical wagons are typically larger and have more room for play and storage.
