Keenz was among the first stroller wagons to hit the market. The brand launched its first stroller wagon in 2014 in South Korea. Originally distributed by Paradigm International in the United States, the US rights to the Keenz brand were eventually bought by Janelle Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick's previous experience in baby gear included inventory a baby safety gate called the Stair Barrier.[1]
Keenz' line of stroller wagons includes both two seat and four seat options. Check out Keenz comparison chart to see a comparison of their differences. Their flagship model is the 7S+.
Flagship Model: Keenz 7S+ Ultimate Adventure Stroller Wagon
The Keenz 7S+ (51 lbs., see price on Amazon) is one of Keenz' largest stroller wagon options with seating for four. Like most all of Keenz models, the 7S+ has a full tent-like canopy. Additional features include:
- Adjustable leatherette (or vegan leather) handlebars (one on each end) with 10 positions and that can be used to pull or push.
- Single canopy with four poles at each corner, peek-a-boo windows, side blackout curtains and canopy storage bag.
- All-terrain wheels with all-wheel suspension.
- Footwell with cover plate.
- Removable fabric.
- 300 lb. capacity with a maximum of 55 lbs. per seat.
- Central console with four cup holders plus a separate parent cup holder.
- Cooler box compartment.
- Four internal pockets and two external zippered pockets.
Like most stroller wagons, the Keenz folds, but the footprint is still pretty large at 36.5 x 33 x 19" with the wheels on or 28.5 x 25.75 x 18.5" without the wheels. It is also only recommended for 12 months of age and up, while most other stroller wagons (including some of Keenz own models) allow children as young as 6 months to ride. There are no car seat adapters available for the Keenz 7S+ or any of their other stroller wagons, so you cannot use it for infants from birth.
Other Keenz 4-Seat Stroller Wagons
Keenz other four-seat stroller wagon is the XC+ (54 lbs., see price on Amazon). The XC+ is the largest of Keenz' wagons and holds up to 326 lbs. Like the 7S+, each of the four removable seats accommodates children up to 55 lbs. So the added carry weight means you can carry more stuff, not bigger kids.
While most of the features of the XC+ are similar to the 7S+, there are a few differences beside the carry capacity. For example, there is no footwell in the XC+, (although the seats are elevated to accommodate kids' feet), nor does it come with a canopy storage bag or cooler box compartment. Folded dimensions with wheels are 44 x 29.5 x 24.25" and without wheels are 35.5 x 24 x 20.5" It is definitely a bigger footprint than the 7S+.
Keenz 2-Seat Stroller Wagons
Keenz first stroller wagon in the US was the Original Keenz 7S. While still available on Amazon, the Original has since been replaced by the Original Keenz 7S 2.0 (33 lbs., see price on Amazon). The old Original included seats for kids up to 45 lbs. while the updated version has seats that accommodate kids up to 55 lbs..
The newer version also adds a travel bag, cooler, cup holder and storage cover. There is no footwell in the Original.
The Keenz XC stroller wagon (46 lbs., see price on Amazon) is the 2-person version of the XC+ and the features are similar, including elevated, removable seats, and side ventilation. There is no footwell, but the elevated seats and extra length help provide more foot and leg room. Children as young as 6 months can use the XC.
Keenz last two-seat stroller wagon, the Keenz Class City Sleek Stroller Wagon (37 lbs., see price on Amazon) is similar in design to the Evenflo Pivot Xplore with a more traditional stroller canopy rather than the tent-like canopies of Keenz other offerings. The single canopy is extended to cover the passenger in front.
The Class City Sleek Stroller Wagon also has only one adjustable handle (three-positions) so it can only be pushed, not pulled. This model is for use by kids 12 months and up and each seat can only hold a child up to 45 lbs., less than most of Keenz' other stroller wagon seats. The Class includes a snack tray and a storage bin with cover mesh.
