Revision as of 16:15, 7 June 2023

Wonderfold started as company that made foldable wagons in 2006 and debuted its first stroller wagon in 2019.

The company pitches itself as a the "original luxury stroller wagon brand" and dives its stroller wagons into three series: W, X and M. The W-series is the original line that can hold two or four children. The X-series has a similar capacity, but adds all-terrain wheels. The M-series are smaller stroller wagons that can only hold one child at a time.

All Wonderfold stroller wagons are made in China. The company's US headquarters is in Irwindale, California.

Flagship Model: Wonderfold W4

In the universe of stroller wagons, some products are more stroller-like and others more wagon. Wonderfold falls into the latter category.

The flagship Wonderfold W4 (33 lbs., see price on Amazon) can hold up to 4 kids and features one canopy that is over the entire wagon (other stroller wagons have individual canopies). The canopy is removable.

The bench seats can be removed so it can be used as a plain wagon as kids grow older. A front door zipper-access lets kids climb in and out and there are storage pockets.

The stroller's plastic wheels are designed for smooth surfaces—Wondfold's X-series (see below) have more all-terrain wheels.

As for cons, the Wonderfold W4 weighs 33 lbs empty—when you add kids and associated cargo, it can be a challenge to push. Also: the wagon can only be pushed from behind—there is no handle up front to pull it.

Wonderfold makes several versions of the W4 wagon: the original or base model plus Elite and Luxe versions. Here are the differences:

The original model has 10” EVA tires, while the Elite and Luxe models have 12” EVA tires. The larger tires on the Elite and Luxe models provide better traction and make it easier to push the wagon over rough terrain.

The original model has a small storage basket under the seats, while the Elite and Luxe models have a larger storage basket under the seats and a storage compartment in the back of the wagon.

Confusingly, Wonderfold also makes the W-series in smaller versions that hold fewer kids. The W2 Luxe wagon (see price on Amazon) holds 2 children, although the even smaller W1 is still rated for up to two kids.

X-series stroller wagons

The Wonderfold X-series has larger 11" rear wheels that are designed for more off-road adventures. The X-series also has a pull handle in addition the handle at back for pushing the wagon.

The Wonderfold X4 Push + Pull Quad (41 lbs) wagon can hold four children, while the smaller X2 and X2M are designed for two children, with the only difference being a magnetic harness on the X2M model.

M-series stroller wagon

The M1 single stroller wagon is Wonderfold's smallest stroller wagon deisgned to hold one child. It has a single canopy, faux leather handlebar, and zippered side mesh pockets. There is also a foot brake.

Some folks are using the M1 as a pet stroller, as the model has a hideway pet ramp with anti-slip surface.

Special editions

Wonderfold makes special editions of its stroller wagons with various themes. The VW4 Volkswagen stroller wagon "was inspired by the vintage VW bus" with a retro color pallete and even "functioning headlights."

A W1 tokidoki stroller wagon debuted in 2023 with design by the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand, including a print canopy and side panels.

Do Wonderfold seats recline?

Only certain models of Wonderfold wagons have reclining seats. For example, the W4 Luxe and Elite have reclining seats, while the W4 do not. The X-series wagons have seats do not recline, while the M-Series (as of this writing, just the M1 model) do recline.

Does Disney allow Wonderfold wagons?

No, Disney does not allow stroller wagons.[1]

Is a Wonderfold wagon good for the beach?

The basic W4 stroller wagons has small, plastic wheels that are most likely not good for the beach, depending on how compact the sand is. Other Wonderfold models like the X-series or the W4 Luxe have larger rear wheels are a better fit for the beach.
