Absolutely love this wagon but would also love some improvements

We have a family of 2 small dogs (~13 lbs) and 1 baby (~20 lbs). The Veer City Cruiser XL has been the PERFECT fit for our family so far. 

Pros:

  • The overall size of the wagon is perfect to wheel around all our babies
  • Initial set up is super easy and can be done by one person
  • Super easy to fold up. Everything is smooth and intuitive
  • Footwell is very roomy and when not being used for feet, can hold a lot. We put our uppababy diaper backpack in there (bonus: acts as a nice cushion for the dogs)
  • Seat is very sturdy and feels safe for the little one
  • Snack tray can be moved back and forth and clicks into place so room on each side is adjustable
  • The back wheels (larger ones) come off very easily if you have limited storage space (24″ width without the wheels)
  • Pushing the wagon is super easy and it maneuvers very well for its size
  • The comfort seat is actually very nice. 5 point harness is secure and the seat itself is very comfy. My son kind of melts into it on our walks 
  • If you’re able to collapse the wagon and put in flat, you can keep some small things in the footwell and still collapse overall wagon 100%
  • Much smaller and manageable profile compared to other 4 seater wagons on the market

Cons:

  • There’s no suspension so bumps can hit a bit rough. We’ve only done city walking (ie sidewalks) and have had to be extra careful with even smaller bumps
  • At this price point, I would want canopies to be included but it’s not a deal breaker
  • Not a huge con but the comfort seat material is very thick so not ideal for super hot summer days. But fantastic for literally any other trip. The only annoying thing I would call out is the 5 point harness is separate from the regular seat (not a 5 point harness) so you have to shimmy the seat on

Notables:

  • Adult cupholders that come with it swing which i believe is intentional but it makes it difficult to put anything aside from closed drinks like water bottles
  • The width of the wagon at it’s largest point (28″) is only slightly larger than our uppababy vista (26″)
  • Just be careful when putting any weight or pressure on the handle if the weight distribution is uneven – we accidentally made it tip back a bit. I don’t believe this is a safety issue at all since we had to put quite a big of pressure but maybe not advisable to hang anything heavy like bags.
  • At this price point, I would want the footwell to collapse or have some sort of attachment included to make it flat for napping. There is a nap system however it sits on top of everything and is another large piece to carry around
