The canopies work well once you get the snap down. Look for the notches under the rim of the wagon and make sure the canopy is lined up. If you get it to click in solidly, it will be strong enough to pick up the wagon with it. I do wish that the visors were included, but overall I really like the coverage provided by the canopies and the ability for kids to move them up and down as they like. My 5yo is a bit squished under it, but he surprisingly doesn't mind.
