The Ultimate Family Outing Companion: My Honest Review of the Graco Ready2Roll Stroller Wagon

If you’ve ever tried to juggle diaper bags, snacks, water bottles, jackets, and a couple of small kids at the same time, you know that organization and mobility can make or break a family outing.

That’s exactly why I was so excited to try the new Graco Ready2Roll Stroller Wagon and after using it with my two youngest boys (ages 3 and 5) at a recent fall festival our family attended and then again at a Trunk or Treat, I can confidently say this wagon is a game-changer.

We’re already planning to use it again when we go trick-or-treating later this week!

First Impressions

Right out of the box, I could tell that Graco put serious thought into the design of this stroller wagon.

It was very easy to assemble. I assembled it on my own (at 8 months pregnant!) and had it ready to go in only about 5 minutes.

It has that classic Graco look – clean, modern, and functional, but what really stood out to me was how sturdy it feels. The materials are durable and easy to wipe clean (which, if you have boys like mine, you know is essential).

The wagon feels substantial without being bulky, and it’s surprisingly easy to maneuver, even when both kids are inside and the storage is full.

The Features That Make It Stand Out

There are lots of reasons to love this stroller wagon. Here are the things I appreciated most about it.

Spacious Seating for Two

The Ready2Roll has roomy seating for two kids, and my boys, even at ages 3 and 5, were perfectly comfortable sitting facing each other. Each seat has its own three-point harness, which would be helpful with younger children but I didn’t bother using them with my boys.

The seating area is padded just enough to keep them cozy without taking up extra space.

Divided Snack Tray (Don’t Know Who Loved This More – Me or Them!)

This might just be my favorite feature: the extra-large snack tray is divided, giving each child their own space for snacks and drinks. No fighting over who gets the cupholder or whose chips spilled where!

It’s the little things that make a big difference on long outings, and this tray definitely kept everyone happy (and me sane).

Smart Storage Solutions

Graco clearly understands that parents seldom travel light. The interior storage pockets inside the wagon are genius, perfect for stashing small essentials like wipes, sunscreen, or even little toys that would otherwise get lost in the bottom.

Plus, there’s plenty of space around the kids’ seats for jackets, blankets, and other gear.

Then there’s the added removable storage basket on the back for even MORE storage AND outer pockets too at the front and back! I used one of the outer pockets to store my water bottle when we were at the fall festival.

Canopy Protection

The adjustable canopy offers great shade coverage, which is a lifesaver on sunny days. It’s also removable for those cooler, cloudy fall outings when you want the kids to enjoy the crisp air and open view.

Easy Fold and Transport

One of my biggest pet peeves with wagons and strollers is how complicated they can be to fold. Thankfully, the Ready2Roll truly lives up to its name! It folds up quickly and easily, and it’s compact enough to fit in the back of my van without a wrestling match. That alone makes it a win in my book.

Smooth Ride & Maneuverability

Whether we were rolling over grass, gravel, or pavement at the fall festival, the wagon handled it all effortlessly. The large wheels and suspension make it glide smoothly, and it feels stable even when loaded down with kids and bags.

You can push or pull it depending on what’s more comfortable and switching between the two is seamless.

Our Experiences at the Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat Events

Our trip to the fall festival was the perfect test run. Between pumpkin picking, playing games, and wandering between food areas, the boys were in and out of the wagon all day.

The snack tray kept their snacks and drinks within reach, the storage pockets held my phone, wipes, and hand sanitizer, and I even had space left over for their prizes and the sweatshirts they eventually wanted to remove.

I loved not having to juggle a stroller and a separate wagon – this was truly a one-and-done solution.

Likewise, when we went to a Trunk or Treat a few weeks later, the wagon was perfect. My boys were able ride while we waiting in line for it to start, then walk initially as we started to travel from trunk to trunk, and then ride again towards the end when their feet where getting tired.

Looking Ahead: Halloween Adventures

We’re planning to bring the Graco Ready2Roll along for trick-or-treating this year, and I already know it’s going to make the evening so much easier. The boys can hop in between houses, toss their candy bags in the storage area, and relax when their legs get tired.

Plus, I can stash extra layers, flashlights, and water bottles without worrying about running out of space.

Can’t Forget the New Baby

As most of you know, I’m expecting a new baby any day now. This stroller wagon comes with an adapter so I can attach the infant car seat to it as well! It works with most Graco infant car seats.

Final Thoughts

The Graco Ready2Roll Stroller Wagon is the perfect blend of stroller convenience and wagon fun. It’s built for busy families who want something sturdy, spacious, and smartly designed.

If you’re looking for a wagon that can handle everything from family festivals to park days and Halloween nights, this one checks every box. The thoughtful details, like the divided snack tray and interior storage pockets, make it clear that Graco really understands what moms need on the go.

It’s safe to say this stroller wagon has earned a permanent spot in our family adventures.

Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

It’s durable, practical, and fun for the kids, and it makes outings easier (which might be the highest praise any parent can give)!
