A somewhat easy question, but for some reason I can't decide:

Which do you have, and why did you choose one vs the other? I have two kids, 4yo and 2yo. I want it to steer well and store as compactly as possible (ideal if the handle folded under the wagon).

Radio Flyer: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12967735&CAWELAID=1534641569&cagpspn=pla&pla=plat&camp=PLAPPC-_-PID12891697&KPID=12891697

Step 2:

Help? Thanks!

The Radio Flyer one is bigger, longer and sturdier than the others. I think the Step2 has a weight limit of 100 lbs, the Radio Flyer's is 200 lbs. This means we can use it to haul dirt for the garden and stuff like that. But it is not compact for storage. The handle kinda tucks underneath, but not completely.

I ended up with the Radio Flyer because I found one on CL for $30. I don't regret it, but it does take up room in the shed. But it will have a much longer useful life than the Step2, I'm sure.

We have this one, if you don't mind a canvas wagon.

It's easy to store, ours is in a closet in the basement when we're not using it. The canopy is great. Holds a ton of stuff. We mostly use it for amusement parks and the beach.

It does smell pretty bad out of the box. I left it outside on a sunny day to air it out.
