Veer Cruiser XL All-Terrain Wagon vs. WonderFold W4 Luxe Quad Stroller Wagon Comparison

Let the adventures begin with a wagon fit for the whole family! Wagons are certainly trending right now and for very good reason. They provide a hassle-free solution for squirmy toddlers who crave more room and may not love being strapped down in a stroller. Toddlers see a wagon as an adventure and parents love the peaceful, happy ride plus the additional storage one provides. From grocery hauls to beach trips and everything in between, a wagon may be the answer for your family!

In this article, two of the best selling wagons will go head to head: the Veer Cruiser XL All-Terrain Wagon and the WonderFold W4 Luxe Quad Stroller Wagon. Both hold up to four children at once, and offer amazing features to make your life with multiple children easier. Hopefully this comparison will help you decide which one makes the most sense for your lifestyle!

Veer Cruiser XL Vs. WonderFold W4 LUXE Pricing

    The Veer Cruiser XL is priced slightly less than the WonderFold W4 LUXE, however, it does not come with any canopies or an extra storage basket. The WonderFold W4 comes with a few more items like a canopy, detachable basket, pull strap, and the 5-point harness seats (versus the 3-point harness seats of the Veer Cruiser XL). The Veer is more customizable, however, everything comes "a la carte."

    Veer Cruiser XL Vs. WonderFold W4 LUXE Specifications 

    Due to their high cargo carrying capacity (up to 300 pounds!), the Veer Cruiser XL and WonderFold W4 LUXE wagons are a little heavier than your average double stroller. There is also a big weight difference between the Veer and the WonderFold. The Veer Cruiser XL comes in 26.3 pounds less than the WonderFold W4 LUXE! Do keep in mind that the WonderFold has more included in that weight - canopy, 5-point harness seats, and storage basket. Once you add those things to the Veer Cruiser XL the weight difference isn't as drastic, however, if weight is a big concern for you, the Veer may be more manageable.

    Both stroller wagons hold up to 300 pounds of cargo, but less weight in terms of children - the Veer Cruiser XL holds 55 pounds per seat (220 pounds total) and the WonderFold W4 LUXE holds 99 pounds per 2 seat bench (198 pounds total). Not only does the WonderFold W4 LUXE weigh a significant amount more, it is also a lot larger than the Veer Cruiser XL when both opened and folded. The W4 will allow the children to sit much higher up off the ground, whereas they could easily climb in and out of the Veer. However, the WonderFold does have a very cool feature that allows children to easily crawl into their seat thru a front zipper door!

          Veer Cruiser XL Vs. WonderFold W4 LUXE Features

          Even though both the Veer Cruiser XL and the WonderFold W4 LUXE are wagons designed to hold 4 children, they are actually quite different. The Veer is more of a traditional pull wagon that can also be pushed. However, the push is very different than a stroller as the bigger wheels are in the front when pushing - you actually steer with the front wheels much like pushing a flatbed cart. You can also walk along side it and easily push it while walking! In comparison, the WonderFold W4 LUXE pushes like a traditional stroller. It is not made to pull like the Veer, however, you can attach the included pull strap if you wish to use it more as a traditional wagon.

          Both wagons are very solid and well built - and they can both hold up to 300 pounds of cargo! They also both have footwells, meaning the children's legs will be comfortably bent out of the way, and their dirty shoes won't be on the seat where they sit. The WonderFold W4 Luxe does allow you to remove the hanging seats if needed though, versus the Veer's are built-in. Below are the features that make them similar and different!

            Veer Cruiser XL Vs. WonderFold W4 LUXE Fold

            Folding the Veer Cruiser XL

            The Veer Cruiser XL can be folded compactly with just one hand, and can stand upright when folded for easier storage. The Veer Cruiser XL folds in four steps:

            First, park and lock the wagon with the foot brake. Next, you will fold all four walls inwards in a couple easy stops: fold the front and back walls by pressing up on the button at either end and fold inwards. The long side walls will then fold inwards overtop.

            Finally, fold the handlebar by lifting up on the two levers that also adjust the handlebar angle, and rest the handlebar overtop the folded sidewalls.

            Stand your Veer Cruiser XL upright towards the larger rear tires, and repeat the folding steps in reverse to assemble your wagon. For a more compact fold, the wheels have a quick release mechanism that's handy for travel, tiny trunks, and small spaces.

            Folding the WonderFold W4 LUXE

            Despite its large frame, the WonderFold W4 LUXE wagon folds compactly with relative ease. It can be folded with the seats and canopy attached.

            First, fold the handlebar down, and unlock the canopy rods at each of the four corners. Then, lower the canopy rods down into the frame.

            Hidden under a storage pocket flap at the center sides of the wagon is a latch; push down on the latch so it slips over the locking tab and lift up on the frame with both hands to fold. To secure, attach the lock at the bottom of the wagon.

            Veer Cruiser XL Colors

            With purchase of custom sidewalls and canopies, the Veer Cruiser XL can make a statement - or blend into your environment - with a rainbow of colors and camouflage prints. If keeping it simple is your thing, neutral heathered grey sidewalls are included with purchase of the wagon.

            It is quick to install a new canopy or a set of sidewalls. Plus, if you already have a Cruiser 2-seat model and upgrade to the 4-seat Cruiser XL, the sidewalls are interchangeable between models.
