Radio Flyer Wagon Canopy Reviews

• Kind of hard to assemble for the first time....

  
  By A2LYRRWF5UZ2WO on 2006-12-28
  This was a gift for my son for Christmas. Today was the first day that the weather was good enough to assemble it and give it a try.
  
  I was a little out done by the amount of time it took me to assemble it and then put it on the wagon. It was a little tedious for me and would not recommend assembling it on an outing for the first time.
  
  I left it up on the wagon in hopes that it would adjust its self now that it is out of the box. It comes with a take along bag but if it is as hard to assemble as it was this first time I will not be taking it off when we are at home at all.
  
  We live on the Gulf Coast so it is imperative that children be shaded in the summer heat and this seems like a good product overall. The concept is very good I just hope it's easy to slap on when we go to the beach or to a festival, seeing that it's too large to keep up inside our SUV.
  
  My overall comment is that I am happy for this product but the ease of it may not be the best. When it's the only product out there you just have to like it and love it. I am giving it a 4 star because the product its self seems to be durable at least.
  
  
  

• Great Idea!

  
  By A20RXOLC3GV2NN on 2007-04-21
  We got this so we can take our ATW wagon on the beach and keep our baby out of direct sunlight. Tried it out today...works great! Kind of reminds me of the wagon train. Our only complaint is that the clamps that hold it on the wagon are kind of overkill, it seems, and aren't that attractive, but she doesn't seem to mind. The canopy isn't real portable if you're transporting it, its kind of bulky but its do-able if you have a SUV.
  
  

• Great canopy

  This is one of the greatest things invented!! I have the Radio Flyer ATW wagon and this works great with it. It provides a lot of shade, is easily removable, and collapses compactly when not in use. Definitely worth the money.

  Great canopy - set up was easier than i expected after reading another reviewer's comments but I followed the photo on the box as well as the given instructions, which alone, would have been slightly confusing.
  
  The canopy provides great coverage and is quite sturdy, so generally quite happy with it.
  
  

• Canopy is already Broke! However, great customer service!

  One of the handles that connects the canopy to the wagon has already broke. I'm not sure how it happened, just went out to use it the other day, and it already split in half. It's impossible to use the canopy now, and I've only had it for 2.5 months. So I got online, and ordered a replacement part for it. They shipped new parts out free of charge! I love companies that stand behind their products.
  
  
  
  
• Tough to install, but pretty cute!
  By A1FM17QMGUAXN7 on 2007-06-08
  We bought this canopy to top off our 16-month-old's Radio Flyer, hoping to shade him from the sun on walks. Turns out, this doesn't block all that much sun, because it's very open on the sides, but at least that's good for airflow and visibility! Had some difficulty installing this at first -- not much give in the fabric. We thought that it must be backwards or something, but ultimately it went on and has been sturdy since. This is a nice addition to the wagon -- stylish and moderately helpful in blocking the sun at mid-day. Just don't count on this to provide too much shade!
  
  
• Love It
  By A1PN95KNJM1SQW on 2007-10-01
  I love this canopy. It is very portable and it is super easy to put up and take down. It helps a lot in keeping the sun out of my kid's eyes and it even keeps him dry when it is sprinkling.
  
  
• Great Addition to a great wagon
  By A3KCKECEO3E2AN on 2007-10-17
  We purchased this canopy to go with our Radio Flyer wagon and we have nothing but great things to say about it. the canopy is large and covers the entire span of the wagon. It clips onto the sides of the wagon so for the tool challenged, it is great. I love the fact that you can lean the canopy forward or backwards depending on the direction of the sun. My girls love it and think they are riding in a chariot.
  
  
• canopy for wagon
  By AGHO5Y4WF71HI on 2008-09-07
  The canopy works well at shielding the sun and keeps light sprinkles at bay.
  It takes up a lot of space while not in use and is cumbersome to put on and take
  off of the wagon.
  
  
• Great extra sun block for the wagon!
  By ADVW9H2EM58GU on 2007-05-09
  This was a must with us. We are very conscious of the sun and it's damaging rays. This helps to protect the little ones while strolling around. It's easy to attach to the wagon and stay in place well.
  
  
• Good buy
  By A21N0JF29RT3Q3 on 2007-05-13
  The canopy does its job. It's great looking, cute and keeps the sun out. It's tall enough to not interfer with getting in the wagon or taking things out, including the kids. One note, it fits all different brands of wagons so don't be fooled in to buying the expensive Radio Flyer wagon. Our wagon is from Lowes and cost $49, it's got the big wheels and fold down sides and is very heavy duty. There are other brands on Amazon too. Buy smart. I do recommend the canopy.
  
  
• Nice for sunny outings
  By A1JXSVAESCT1OO on 2007-06-11
  We have used this for a few trips down to the park and zoo for our 6 mo old and 2 year old. It does a great job at keeping the mid-day sun off both kids. It was a bit awkward installing it at first but with two sets of hands we have gotten used to it now. Folds up flat for storage.
  
  
• Serves Purpose But EXTREMELY FRAGILE
  By A3IJFGAQE98I1L on 2007-07-17
  This is now back on our wishlist, because we cannot afford to replace it. That's right--replace it. It works well, but be very careful that your children do not attempt to apply pressure of any kind to the frame, and as soon as you are done using it, pack it up and stow it away properly.
  
  The clamps break off easily. We lost two of them in 4 months of use, and had to trash the canopy.
  
  The good: when not broken, it does provide shade and shelter to riders. We got a couple good trips to the zoo out of it, one in sun, and one in light rain (daddy doesn't mind getting wet, and the animals are much more active in the cool, so this was particularly useful).
  
  
• Great all around wagon cover
  By A2M3NGIXKOWU0T on 2008-03-28
  I was a little unsure when I ordered this, based on some of the reviews I had read, but my family LOVES this wagon cover! We have the Step 2 two-seater wagon and this cover fits great! We get tons of compliments every time we are out! The amount of sun protection varies based on how low/high the sun is sitting, but you are able to adjust the cover a little bit to help. We have had no problems with it breaking like some people mentioned, and we use our wagon daily. I would recommend it!!
  
  
• Love the concept, but product isn't durable
  By ARYM3BAD184O4 on 2008-07-21
  I like the amount of shade it provides for my 2 little ones. However, it is VERY hard to get it stored up into the very small storage bag, and one of the slips that the "backbone" slips into, ripped the day I got it. So, I have to tape the end shut so that the brace stays put.
