I really appreciate how through your reviews are! Thank you

[@KidTravel1]

Thank you! It was a lot of work.

[@nathanjustinhunter]

That was the first useful review I've seen on a kids product. Thanks for putting this together.

[@KidTravel1]

Thank you! You must think about these things like I do.

[@kelvonb09]

Great review. For future reference…post a list of all of the metrics you grade on for each score so that we can see and maybe place our own importance when planning a purchase. Great job though!

[@hannahmatzdorf4738]

Would you choose this or the gladly anthem 4? I have a highlander and use my 3rd row so would probably have to remove all the wheels on the anthem to make it fit.

[@KidTravel1]

Yes I would choose the Veer over the Anthem although I like the Anthem too. There is also a 4 seater Veer now: amzn.to/3ERbzTT

[@hannahmatzdorf4738]

@@KidTravel1 thank you! Can you say what your main reasons are for liking the veer more?

[@KidTravel1]

The folding button on Anthems is sometimes very hard to press in. The Veer is very durable. Those are the main things. I like that the Anthem comes with canopies and a basket and handles much like the Veer.

[@fhgrl2]

I’m concerned about the brake system. Is it sandal friendly?

[@KidTravel1]

Pushing down the brake with sandals is no problem. To release the brake you press a button with the front of your foot. It also isn't bad with sandals but you sometimes have to push hard.

Love to see a Bob wagon review especially in comparison with the Veer

[@KidTravel1]

Maybe someday!

[@maryb6776]

I love this wagon I just wish the canopy covered all the wagon

[@KidTravel1]

It is a great wagon, and I agree, it would be great if the canopy could extend out farther.

[@katharinedominguez]

They do sell a visor attachment and when both canopies have a visor attached, they pretty much touch, giving full coverage from the top.

[@DiamondJoyJoy]

Hi and thank you for this video! Do you know how the Veer Cruiser handles when trying to hop curbs? Also, what about napping? In January 2023, I will have a newborn & an older child who is currently 35 lbs & 36” tall already! Which is why we are considering a stroller wagon as opposed to a double stroller 🙂 Thanks so much!

[@KidTravel1]

Hey Joy, the Veer handle and frame is very strong, so when you have weight in the front and push down the handle in the back to jump a curb, it feels very stable, not like the extra stress is going to break something. If your older child is sitting in the front it will obviously take more force to get over the curb. There is a nap system that is sold separately that provides a flat base across the seats. The seats themselves are slightly reclined but they aren't that tall, so older kids can't lay their heads back and nap that easily like they can in some strollers. There is a Black Friday deal going on right now where you can get $100 off a Veer bundle: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2187724&u=988835&m=124094

[@Leemah3]

I was wondering if you would consider donating any of your wagons you no longer want or use?

[@KidTravel1]

We donate a lot of baby items but so far are hanging onto strollers and wagons so that we can compare them to future models.

[@even.wildflowers.grow.]

Can you make a review on the beer XL? That one seats 4

[@KidTravel1]

I should but it may not be done before you need to buy one.

[@RampAcademy]

Great review. Would you be able to share the interior dimensions of the wagon?

[@KidTravel1]

Thank you! Yes, I measured it as: 32.5" L 17.5" W 14" H. That height is from the bottom of the footwell and the length is between the tops of the seats. The seats lean back so the length from the base of each seat is about 30". The footwell is: 15" x 11" x 4.5"

[@KaizenAloha]

The only complain I have is the self belt feels really cheap!

[@StrollinSodaPops]

It’s so funny that I came across your video, because it’s such a quick watch and our Veer review is SO long 😂 I’m going to do a much better job of being concise on the XL review. It clearly was not a natural skill for me 🙈

[@KidTravel1]

I have this personal bias for shorter videos so I think that's where it comes from. But it takes so much work to do all the editing and filming that I've wondering whether I should do more longer ones so I could crank more out.

[@StrollinSodaPops]

@Kid Travel if you made it 7 or 8 minutes you'd have more time to flesh out your thoughts and it still wouldn't be a long video, not too much editing.

[@TonyMiguel-ko7cz]

Imagine African moms paying $1000 for a baby stroller 😂😂

[@xoprincessa]

Thank you!

[@KidTravel1]

Welcome!

[@christinehaynesjohnson5486]

just bout this thing----maybe it'll just need to get used to it, but so far i really don't like it. pushing it is really not an option; it will not go straight. VEER is the perfect name for it because when you push it, it goes everywhere but straight. pulling it like a traditional wagon is hard with my 4yo and 2yo in it. takes a lot to get it going. bumps are rough with this thing. i got spoiled with my kids bumbleride strollers i guess.

[@KidTravel1]

It really can be frustrating to keep it going straight. I’m less of a fan this style of handle bar than I used to be.

[@ceciliahammons2534]

The veer cruiser all terrain? I believe the new veer cruiser city fixed this problem with pushing.

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

Seems to me that you have the jeep an unfair review with maneuverability. The jeep can be pushed from either handle which when compared to this one, you pushed the jeep with the small wheels forward because that's the most natural way of doing it. But this veer can only be pushed with the small wheels forward. The turning tests were also done the same way. Had you done the same with the jeep, I'm sure the jeep would've score higher than it did.

[@KidTravel1]

It's certainly true that the strollers with larger wheels on the back are easier to push over bumps being pushed backwards with the larger wheels in the lead. It makes sense from a testing perspective to perform all the tests from the most common and primary push direction as it was designed. There are all these weird quandaries I get into like rating sun coverage where most wagons come with the canopies but some require a separate purchase. If I pushed from the front instead of the back, for example, then should I lower the score on storage accessibility because not the basket is harder to get to. So I end up making judgement calls on many things trying to maintain a scoring system that is equitable and many times I'm not sure I've been totally fair. So I just try to provide as much info as I can and people can take everything into account and make a more informed decision.

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

@@KidTravel1 I totally get that, and it's a very fair reply. I thank you for taking the time to reply. I think however the testing is still not covering all the bases and therefore giving an edge to some vs others. I am by no means an expert with this stuff which was why I sought out information online. Speaking from the Jeep side of things, it is more versatile in maneuverability because it can be pushed or pulled from either side with the included handles whereas something like the Veer only has one handle. So in a test like that, the jeep and others would get a high score and the veer would get a low score which would balance out the scores more closely. This was important to us and immediately knocked the veer from consideration. There were many other factors too but the Veer just didn't seem practical compared to some others. I'll also mention just because I noticed it in the video. Trying to shove anything in a Civic from 2001-2005 trunk is not a fair comparison to a modern compact car like the newer Civics since they've all grown up in size. But I get it, the current testing methodology is a benchmark of sorts that you have tested with many other wagons and is good to compare apples to apples.

[@KidTravel1]

Thanks very much for that feedback! I have 65 things that I rate and weight to develop the underlying scores and of course, only a little bit makes it into the videos. But there are some factors I can add that will should make it even more robust.

[@RobertoMezquiaJr]

@@KidTravel1 awesome! It's your videos, just my feedback as a viewer. Thanks again for replying.

[@StrollinSodaPops]

@@KidTravel1 from a fellow reviewer, I enjoyed some features on the Jeep Wrangler but it’s one of my least favorite wagons we’ve had so far. I’d score it the same way as far as pushing it the way that the manufacturer intended it to be pushed.

[@nateb4543]

For $700 it better be motorized, ability to support 2 adults with soots to stand, gps and infotainment system. Good review though

[@KidTravel1]

😂 it doubles as an hibachi if you leave it in the sun. TBH our favorite stroller was the $17 cosco umbrella stroller

[@TonyMiguel-ko7cz]

What mom is driving her stroller off roard 😂😂

[@KidTravel1]

Only happens in the movies :)

[@Utubeisazzho]

I’ve got the baby tactical gear version with accessories. Wish it had suspension like ebike or burley trailer. Our bob all terrain stroller still the fav

[@KidTravel1]

I'm going to go deep into all-terrain strollers at some point. It is interesting that with everything they did, they left out suspension.

[@Surfgarage760]

This wagon is a piece of junk. It metal parking break cable is gonna snap and there is no replacement

[@KidTravel1]

Uh, no. Its expensive but in no rational comparison to other wagons could it be considered junk.
