I have the six seater bye bye boogie and loves it. I load all five of my little ones up and off we go for very long walks. Good in the winter as it has big wheels.

I liked the looks of the choo choo wagon too, but I need something that is good for the winter as well. And I don't want to have to buy two different things. I would rather have something I could just use year round and that would work on my streets in the winter (which don't get plowed very well). Does anyone have the runabout? If so, how do you like it?
I don't have a Runabout but have heard nothing bad about them. If I had the funds I would probably look at getting one of these.
I have the large wagon from here (22x48 or whatever) I can get up to 6 toddlers in it sitting 3 on each side. I made my own seatbelts using the walking harnesses where the harness goes on the child and the rein part winds around the bars and holds them in place. Even works for little ones because the harness holds them securely. www.toywagons.com
I have the Choo Choo wagon. it is awesome from spring to fall or anytime the sidewalk is clear. The kids love to ride in it -- NEVER any complaints from the kids about being in the wagon and there is no fighting or kicking or pushing since the kids are all in a separate compartment.
In good weather I can have 5 wagons attached and a mixture of ages in there and still pull it fairly easily. Steering is great and it goes around corners great.
Cons-- I had a heck of a time pulling it last winter when the sidewalks were not plowed. The wagon sits low so I was literally pulling it through the big piles of snow and sweating buckets under my coat. I could have cried on occassion.
It attracts a LOT of attention everywhere you go -- comments about how cute it is or what a cool wagon I have. I guess anything larger than a triple stroller would attract attention.
This winter I am also considering whether to invest in a round about or other wagon.
I'm not sure where you live, but there is a Step 2 store not far from us and they carry it.Quote:

It is expensive, but will last forever. It came with a lifetime frame warranty, and the stroller itself has been manufactured for almost 25 years now. They get rave reviews everywhere, but especially in Canada. Roger (the gentleman who designed them) said that the majority are sold in Canada because of it's exceptional ability to handle the snow.
Is yours the 450m Army Wagon? This one has no dimensions, so I was curious? These wagons look AMAZING!!!Quote:

I have had mine since 1996 and it has been well used. Gone through a couple sets of tires from wearing out the tread. I first got it because my own child has special needs. I was able to put her in the wagon and it was great for going to our son's soccer games and stuff where normal stroller wheels aren't too great. Then with the daycare I could put her at the end and the other kids on the two sides as I did do school runs back then.
