My husband called it “one of [my] best purchases”

I ordered the Caravan Coupe for my 2.5 year old and 6 month old. The 2.5 year old was refusing to sit in a stroller so family outings were a big pain. He LOVES this wagon. I initially set it up but we didn’t have anything planned so it stayed in the house. He absolutely loved sitting in it and would ask to go in “his wagon” even to just watch – super cute.

Now, that’s not much of a review so after we put it to the test for a weeklong beach trip, here are all the details. My husband ended up taking my 2.5 year old for a walk on the boardwalk to try and get him to sleep and was stopped multiple times by other parents admiring the Caravan Coupe and asking for the details.

The Good:

• It is super easy to assemble, I did it myself in about 25 minutes but that included putting all the packaging up and a little bit of multitasking.
• Both my kids took beach naps in this bad boy. The 2.5 year old wasn’t able to completely stretch out but he laid diagonally and put his feet up. I’m serious, this kid napped like that for 2 hours.
• The push is comparable to our Uppababy stroller. It has a really smooth push!
• We were able to use it on sand – obviously we weren’t able to push it one handed but it maneuvered well enough to make it worthwhile to bring it down to our spot.
• The quality is definitely there. I didn’t notice any cut corners with the manufacturing – every feature was intentional and intuitive to use.

The OK:

• The grey fabric showed marks from sun screen and our chocolate fudge sundae. I haven’t tried to clean it but I would LOVE if it came in black to make it a little easier to hide messes.
• This isn’t a compact baby product – but it is one of the more compact wagons! Its just as heavy and labor intensive to set up as our stroller though so I almost always opt to use the Caravan Coupe over our stroller.
• My 6 month old was a little too small to sit in the seats comfortably. I rolled towels and stuck them on either side of him and he was much happier. I think when he gets a little bit bigger then he will be a lot more comfy!

The Bad:

• Storage – the only thing I found myself wishing for was a large storage basket. I’ve seen lots of hacks online so I will start to test those out!
