Great, But I'm Already Ready for Version 2. . .
First, I must say the Waggle is a really great stroller wagon. My young family of 4 has used it for weeks now and we have already traveled with it successfully. Overall, we really like it, and we would recommend it over the V-branded competition by far. The compact folding is a complete game changer and it handles very nicely for a wagon. However, there are some features that could use some attention: 1) It would be nice if the big wheels could be locked when the wagon is folded, so that the heavy wagon couldn't easily roll around in the trunk or back of an SUV. All the pictures and videos show the wagon stored neatly in the back of an SUV or car trunk, but none show it while moving. . . make a turn or a quick stop and the whole thing slides across the back of your car! 2) The carry handle inside is thin and feels like it might break with regular use. I see no reason why a beefier and more comfortable carry handle couldn't have been used here. Definitely an oversight. 3) The fabric "parent" cup holders that hang from the handle are a complete joke unless you're carrying sealed water bottles. They're uneven and flop around annoyingly when moving. I guess they're fine if you use a hydroflask, but there has to be a better way to give parents this feature and allow them to conveniently carry other types of drinks (soda cans, Starbucks cups, etc). 4) All of the accessories that make it so versatile have to be removed in order to fold the unit down. I love the large canopies, the baskets, and the snack trays, but there's no easy way to store them once they are removed and they are rather bulky and large on their own. On a recent trip, I had to leave the best accessories at home because they would have needed their own large suitcase to get to our destination! At minimum, it would be nice if the canopies could stay attached to the folded wagon, as the frames on those are prohibitively large. I understand this may not be feasible due to the unique design, but it would be great to keep in mind if there ever is a "version 2". All in all, though, we are very happy with it and feel we got a good value for the price and features on offer. The fact that we could travel with it and gate check it at the airport, when many larger wagons get turned away, is awesome! My kids like it, as well, and my toddler has no problem getting in and out on his own. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Waggle! P. S. - To the Bombi engineers: If you ever decide to work on a "Version 2", let's talk! ;)
