Speedway Express Wagon Review

*This honest post is sponsored. All opinions are my own.

After weeks of searching for a new wagon for my little boy, I found the perfect one. It's blue, has removable safety rails, no-tilt design and the high weight limit is appropriate for carrying more than one child at a time. In fact, this wagon is so perfect, that I can use it for gardening and chores, as well as for play!

The Speedway Express Wagon #800 is built on a strong, steel frame that will hold up to 1,100 pounds (seriously) and it comes with 13" turf tires that will travel across a variety of surfaces--including hilly grass and gravel. The bed is solid 24" x 40" wood with a beautiful, smooth finish.

Speedway Express Wagons Come in Many Sizes

While looking for this wagon, I noticed there are many sizes of wagons available. What you need to keep in mind is that the larger the wagon is, the heavier it will be. Wagon Sales offers smaller, lightweight wagons that are easier for children to pull. So, if this is for a child or someone who wants a lightweight wagon to pull, consider a smaller wagon such as the #128 or #330.

The wagons have a no-tilt design, come in a variety of colors and have a higher-than-average weight limit. There are also larger wagons for heavy-duty work; more appropriate for construction or heavy farm work.

If you need a wagon that can handle yard work & play, there are plenty to choose from, including the Speedway Express 800 wagon, which I will be covering in this blog post.

Play Wagon Accessories

I've owned the Speedway Express #800 wagon for a few weeks, now, and have done so many different things with it around here. We built it, from the box, in less than 30 minutes. I was impressed with the quality before we even completed the assembly of the wagon; this thing is built to last. The surface of the wagon bed is very smooth, making it very child-friendly.

What's cool is that you can buy many accessories for the Speedway Express wagons. The wagons are already equipped with the necessary parts for dropping the accessories into place--meaning, you don't have to screw any parts into the wagon to add accessories to it.

The Handle & Hitch Combo is an upgrade choice when you purchase the wagon. It allows you to switch between using the D-handle hand grip and attaching the wagon to a hitch. This is convenient if you're using the wagon for work, especially.

The Sun Top is very useful and so fun to own! Everyone loves this accessory, because it's functional, easy to add/remove and it's really stylish. The Sun Top comes in different sizes and is weather-resistant. The baby will not get sunburned this summer while he rides in his wagon and enjoys the great outdoors with his family. The Sun Top also keeps cargo on the wagon from getting too hot--this is great for tender plants or other products that you're hauling.

Another accessory that is really helpful is the Deluxe Seat. The Deluxe Seat offers a comfortable wagon ride for children. It has two seat belts attached to it to assure a safe ride. This was also easy to assemble: 10 minutes. I'm very happy with the quality of the wood used for this wooden accessory and for the wagon bed. I think I'll be passing this wagon down to the grandkids one day. The seat is reinforced with metal brackets, so it will stay strong during bumpy rides.

The wagon and accessories are weather resistant, but not weatherproof (it's a wooden product, after all). It can be placed in a shed or garage for safe-keeping. I also want to mention that the paint is lead-free and the colors are very vibrant. I am cautious about buying imported products due to lead paint still being used overseas, so it's exciting to find an American-made wagon for kids that's safe and durable.

A Wagon for Work or Play

My little boy loves putting the pups in the Speedway Express wagon with him for a fun wagon-ride together. Puppies make excellent friends. The side rails are both stapled and glued for durability; they are very easy to remove and replace. My kindergartner can put the side rails on by himself. I like the added safety of having side rails on the wagon.

The wagon that I have is really spacious and can handle a lot of tasks. I filled it with a few bags of mulch, flower pots, basket liners and plants--and had room to spare. I love that it's a portable work area, essentially, so I can move it anywhere I need to go very quickly. The finished, wooden surface is very easy to clean. I keep a piece of cardboard around to put on the bottom when I'm afraid of damaging the surface, but it's proven to be very work-worthy.

Another use for a good wagon is hauling grocery bags. Before I had this wagon, I would load all of the groceries on my arm and try to walk them up the driveway to my house by myself--in one trip. Now, I can just load the wagon and pull them to my house entryway. This would be useful for someone who walks to the market, as well. I could see me pulling a small wagon around outdoor shops, farmer's markets and parks; it's very convenient to own a wagon.

So, if you're in the market for a new wagon, you should really, really consider the Speedway Express wagons, because they're in a league of their own. One wagon filled the need for both a play wagon and a garden cart around here--that's an investment piece, for sure. You gotta love multi-purpose products that save you space and money.

I'm completely satisfied with the Speedway Express Wagon #800 and the accessories that compliment it. If you're considering a new wagon--for work or play--Speedway Express wagons are high-quality products; I highly recommend them.
