Debated for a long while about purchasing one of these. I knew I wanted to go with Baby Trend (after much research and testing other brands) and I was super ecstatic when I saw the Expedition Plus on sale for $199. The Expedition Plus includes extra padding for seats or to use as a sleeping mat, a basket and side air vents on canopy.
Setting the wagon up was super easy and quick, no tools or directions needed. The hardest part was getting it out of the box because it was well-packed.
I’m using this wagon for one child, aged two, and we took a stroll last night for the first time.
Here are my thoughts:
CONS
-I was much more excited about this than he was.
-Extra seat pads are so-so. Great for the bottom if you’re using them as a sleep mat, but seem seatbelt limiting when using as a seat.
-Probably should have had two canopies or extenders on each side to allow for more coverage. Even with one child, coverage from sun or rain will be iffy. I know I can purchase a separate product, but it would be nice for the company to come out with some accessories for sun, rain, winter.
-Seatbelt is three-point. There is definitely enough room for a five-point, so that would have been nice as well as a way to recline seat a couple inches for sleeping kids. Not sure how well this wagon would work for two sleepy kiddos. If you have one of those kids (like mine) who wakes easily when moved and can be exceptionally grumpy, transitioning from a buckled sitting position to lying down could be tricky.
-Mosquito nets..great until you need to zip them back up..then it takes a few minutes, which is fine..I think you could put them on top of canopy.
-Big. Not sure this is really a con, but this might not be the best for tight spaces or busy city sidewalks.
PROS
-Big. My toddler needs his space. He’s a tall kid and strollers weren’t working well. Excited to be able to use this in the grocery, on trips, etc. Did purchase cooler/additional basket separately on sale; plan to purchase a wrap-around fan and possibly a sun shade extension for summer.
-Great for tall people! I’m 5’11 and pushing this is super easy. I don’t kick the brakes.
-Has space for two baskets (one included).
-Glides with ease. Bumps aren’t a threat. Curbs might be..when in stroller mode, but we don’t have curb issues here. Turn radius is pretty great. Haven’t tried brakes yet, but heard they’re not flip-flop friendly.
-Caddy is fine. I’ve never owned one before, but this one seems spacious and sturdy. I suppose others might be better insulated.
-I live in a house with several steps in front and had to tote (sans child) wagon up the steps into the house (can’t leave outside because of cats and spiders-trust me on this). I used the wagon handle and it was effortless.
That’s all I’ve got so far, BUT unless you find the Plus on sale, I’d stick with basic Expedition and purchase the cooler/basket accessory separately. The mats are ‘meh’ and the side vents really don’t offer anything extra. Expedition (and pricier) models include infant seat adapter.
Would I purchase again? Absolutely! Wish they had these when my older two were younger.
**June 16, 2022 Update**
Still love it! Walks are amazing. Both the boy and I are happy. Consider purchasing two fans for this if you’re toting two kids..or even a third fan for yourself! I could see how this wagon could be a problem for those with limited trunk space (if you’re transporting it) as it takes up a lot of space..or if you might have trouble lifting (for various reasons). Still wish they would have designed the canopy a little better, but like I said previously, there are solutions!

After receiving the replacement I set it up and the kids and I love it!
Pros:
• the snack tray has 4 compartments 2 drink holders and a snack compartment on both sides so each kid has their own
•The extended sunshade(mesh) covers the entire top of the wagon
•Easy assembly
•Sturdy
•Easy to maneuver (doesn't feel heavy to push even with both kids in)
•Pretty good quality materials from what I can see
•Modern look
•Large parent compartments; the larger compartment can be attached to the front or back
•Spacious for my 2&4 year old
Cons:
•Larger and Heavier than a regular stroller
•The brake is hard to lift in sandals
• the handle seems to only have one height
•the seat cushions could be a little softer and a better/comfier material (but I get why they are the material they are easier to clean)
• there are only two places for the buckles to come through so they don't fit the best with the cushions in for older children
