Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon by Delta Children Review

A look at the Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon by Delta Children. Does this children’s wagon live up to the Jeep name?

The Short Version

We use the Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon for longer day outings with our little one and dog. It’s durable and handles different terrains just like a Jeep. Our little one can nap and eat in it with greater comfort than in a stroller. Despite the size, it surprisingly fits better in our trunk than the stroller, making it easier to pack other things.

Why We Brought It Home

Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon is built for two kids, but we bought it while we only had our one little one. At the time, she was outgrowing her stroller, and some of the places we like to take her had terrain that our stroller struggled with. We wanted something sturdy with rugged wheels, enough space for her to move around and store food plus toys, and compact when not in use. We researched different wagons and strollers, eventually landing on the Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon.

The Everyday Feel

Living up to the Jeep collab, the Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon is sturdy and durable. We’ve had the wagon for a year, and it’s survived many day trips, hikes, and various terrains (gravel, dirt, grass, etc.). We like it better than a stroller because our little one has more freedom to move around and can play/eat in the wagon. The removable seats, canopy, cup holders, and extra zipper storage also come in handy.

In terms of size, the wagon can fit our four-year-old and our 75 lbs dog, although our dog prefers to walk. Despite the size, it’s a smooth ride and easy to push around. It also has a small handle in the middle that you pull up, and the wagon easily folds and snaps in place. When collapsed, the wagon takes up less space in our trunk, and because it’s flat, it’s easier to store other stuff in the trunk. The only caveat is that the shape won’t be as easy to store if you lay it flat after putting the seats, snack tray, canopy, etc. into the wagon after it’s folded.

We’ve taken it to the beach, park, animal petting farms, outdoor malls, trail hikes, and more. The Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon has survived countless trips over the past year and should still come in handy for transporting our trip gear even when the kids outgrow the wagon.

A Few Quiet Details

  • JPMA and GREENGUARD Gold certified: From a safety perspective, the wagon is JPMA and GREENGUARD Gold certified, which contributes to its higher price point. For us, this was an important point since our little one would spend a lot of time in it.
  • Durability: One of the taglines is “Go anywhere. Do anything.” This wagon has handled many different trips and terrains. Besides some mild wear on the wheels, it still looks brand new.
  • Compact: Despite weighing close to 50lbs and being able to transport two kids, the wagon folds up easily and doesn’t take up much space for its size.
  • Removable Parts: The canopy, seats, cup holders, and snack tray are all removable and configurable. It’s a nice touch so that we can adapt to when the sun is out, if we need more space, if we’ll have the kiddo eat in the wagon, etc.

The Low Lights

Despite being compact, the Jeep Aries Stroller Wagon is still on the larger and heavier side. It’s difficult for my wife to lift it in and out of the trunk, or move it from where we store it. That means she can’t use the wagon if she wants to take the kiddo out on her own.

If you decide you want to use all the attachments during a trip, it takes at least a few minutes to get the entire wagon set up. You have to clip in all the seats, which takes time when the velcro covers you need to fold out of the way, put the cup holders and snack tray on, and then put the canopy on. It takes time, so plan ahead on your trips.

Is It Worth the Space?

If you’re looking for a safe and durable wagon, then this wagon is worth the space, especially given its compact folded design. However, if you only care about size and not safety or durability, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives. Given how it’s held up for over a year, I think the premium paid for the wagon is worth it.
