The original grips are a bit sticky, which I actually like. But I'm also enjoying these as they look beautiful and add comfort for those who don't like the standard grip. I only took one star off because they are wildly difficult to put on. My best advice would be to out them on while the wagon is folded. Once you get the zipper attached, and before zipping it all the way, twist them into place so the zipper edge will lie underneath. Then finish zipping all the way, because you won't be able to move them once they're on.
