We were so lucky this year that Santa brought son a Little Tikes Wagon! He knew it would be hard to fit in the car to come home from Grandma’s so he brought it to our house a day early. He is so considerate!
Mom and Dad made good use of the wagon and filled it with presents needed for the 2 1/2 hour car ride to Grandma and Grandpa’s.
He found the wagon to be useful for a myriad of activities…
bunker for shooting the ball gun…
or a nice seat to relax and watch a Christmas special.
After Christmas break at Grandma and Papa’s the wagon made a nice vehicle for delivering treats to a neighbor on Sunday.
So after some good use, here is the final verdict on the Little Tikes Green Adventure Wagon.
Pros:
- Tons of creative uses
- Perfect size for toddlers
- Handle is a good length for both hubs and I
- Really Heavy Duty Plastic that will not wear out even with a boy who is REALLY hard on things
- Removable sides for boxes that are too big to fit
- Comes with a huge box for hours of fun
Cons:
- No words on instructions-hard to understand and took longer than I thought to put together
- Front wheels seem to get stuck in place sometimes-may be a result of the cryptic instructions
Overall, the wagon has brought us some good times so far. I can’t wait to try it out at the zoo!

If there is only one major investment that you make in a childs tool/toy, I can strongly recommend a Little Tykes wagon.
I purchased on for my son when he was a toddler and it was used to tote him around at the zoo, parades, car shows, festivals and many a garage sale. I also doubled as a “car” for his stuffed toys in the house and push the wagon around.
My ex put mine together and he never uses instructions anyway, so I can’t speak to that. I never had any trouble with the wheels. The handle was a comfortable length for me (I’m 5’6″) and my ex (5’11”).
It is very durable – it got lugged everywhere, including up and down stairs at my apartment. My son is now 16 and his Dad still has it and uses for part hauling.
I’ve noticed that elementary school teachers use them too. Some use them for the kids to put their lunch bags in to take to the cafeteria. Others use them for the kids to toss unwanted jackets in while playing outside on the playground. I’m sure they’ve found other uses for them too.
