WonderFold W Series vs. X Series Stroller Wagon Comparison
Stroller wagons provide a hassle-free solution for parents that need a comfortable place for each child to sit plus storage for essentials from grocery trips to beach days and everything in between. Enter WonderFold, the stroller wagon brand that offers parents a wide range of options that hold up to four children at once.
With so many good options to choose from (several models each for 2-seat and 4 -seat wagons) it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your family! All of WonderFold's stroller wagons include the essentials and beyond like a removable sun canopy, adjustable handlebar, 5-point safety harness, storage space, and hearty all-terrain wheels you'll need when crossing sand or grass.
In this article, we will compare the WonderFold W series and X series wagons in detail.

W SERIES VS. X SERIES PRICING
Depending on which model you choose - and which size - there are a variety of price points within the WonderFold line.
To carry up to two children, WonderFold double stroller wagons range from $369 up to $659, and to carry up to four children the quad stroller wagons range in price from $469 up to $899.

W SERIES VS. X SERIESÂ SPECIFICATIONS
Due to their high carrying capacity (up to 300 pounds in the W4 models!), the WonderFold wagons are a little heavier than your average stroller. However, they're designed with premium suspension, wheel bearings, and all-terrain tires to ensure that despite the capabilities of a wagon the WonderFolds push and steer with the ease of an all-terrain stroller.
Double wagons range in weight from 32 pounds for the X2 up to to 55 pounds for the W2 Luxe. To compare that with a couple other double strollers with similar all-terrain functionality, the Veer Cruiser Wagon weighs 32.5 pounds, and the Bumbleride Indie Twin side by side double jogging stroller weighs 36 pounds.
It's no surprise that the quad wagons weigh even more, but despite carrying twice as many children, they're only slightly heavier: quad wagons range from 41 pounds for the X4 up to 63 pounds for the W4 Luxe.

W SERIES VS. X SERIESÂ Features
WonderFold's W Series wagons have more features and upgraded seating compared to the X Series, though the X Series includes some features not included with one or both W Series models.
The LUXE and Elite wagons in the W Series have these features not seen in the X Series:
- Raised, removable and reclining seats
- Additional storage space under seats
- Footwells for added comfort
- A zippered door that allows kids to climb in and gives parents easy access to storage
- Numerous storage pockets on the sides and back of the wagon
- Mesh siding with zippered panels keep kids comfortable any season
W Series wagons also have a higher weight capacity of 300 pounds for a quad or 200 pounds for a double.
The X Series wagons have fewer features, with built-in backrests that allow your child to sit on the bottom of the wagon. And they have a lower weight capacity of 180 pounds for a quad and 150 pounds for a double.Â
The X Series wagons have these features not seen in the W Series:
- Spring bounce pull handle included with purchase
- Magnetic harness buckles (included on W LUXE but not W Elite)
Functioning as a Push + Pull wagon right out of the box, the X4M and X2M both have handles that make them easier to pull behind you at the beach, while W Series wagons have only a fabric pull strap that may not be as comfortable to pull with the W series' higher weight capacity and larger carriage. You can purchase a pull handle separately for the W series.
Both types of wagons share features like a removable storage basket on the back of the wagon, suspension for a smooth ride, a foot brake and seats with 5-point harnesses.
The W Series includes the Luxe and Elite models.
W LUXE VS. W ELITE Features
The W2 LUXE and W4 LUXE are WonderFold’s top-of-the-line models, with larger and more durable wheels, magnetic harness buckles, and a vegan leather handlebar for a comfortable and on-trend aesthetic.
The W2 Elite and W4 Elite have the same features as the LUXE except the wheels are slightly smaller, the harness buckle is not magnetic, and the handlebar is covered in neoprene for a comfortable grip.
Both the Luxe and Elite models have these features:
- A removable rear storage basket, with extra storage pockets on the Luxe
- Reclining seats
- An adjustable handlebar
- And a canopy that can be adjusted based on the position of the sun
New for 2022 is a special edition Volkswagen version of the W4 Luxe designed to look like a vintage VW Bus, complete with wheel caps and working headlights, for $1,499.
W SERIES VS. X SERIESÂ FOLD
Despite their large frames, both the W Series and X Series wagons fold compactly with relative ease.
FOLDING THE W SERIES WAGONS
W Series wagons 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.
FOLDING THE X SERIES WAGONS
X Series wagons fold in one motion, with one hand after you remove the canopy. Pull up on a strap in the center of the wagon to collapse it, then buckle the lock to secure.
