Can you also pull a child on the beach in wet or hard packed sand?

I wish I could help you, but we only used it on snow. But I would think it would work on hard packed sand.

It would work on hard packed sand. Used in an archeological dig on vacation. It was very useful.

I put sand in the bottom of mine and it is still pretty easy to move. A child or 12 year old would have trouble but a reasonably able adult can place it wherever desired.

Air is obviously easier. Some people have recommended sand, and that would work too. It has a filling port on the bottom that you can hook air thingy up to, or unscrew it to pour water or sand in it. Actually it has 2 ports, one for air in the main part, and another on the bottom if you want to put sand or water in bottom. You don't want want to fill it up with water, it would probably weigh 100 pounds if you did that! The port on the bottom screws on tight and is in-set so small children absolutely cannot get at it and get it off. My 2 year old has enjoyed it.

There is a floor covering for this. You would not be sitting directly on sand.

The lake or pool yes, the ocean might be too rough. We used ours at a lake. The smaller kids liked to flip in it (7 years and younger - but it has more to do with size than age).

I think so, you have to keep it very wet though. The sand might be a problem.

Yes. Though it's tempting at least for my little one to use the same toys for sand and water so I usually find sand in the water and wet sand.

It depends... We live in Hawaii, so ours has seen its fair share of beaches. If the sand is somewhat packed, it pushes along like a dream. If it's loose and deep, you'll feel like you're pushing through quicksand. We've had pretty good luck 'off-roading', but I can see the ride being jerky for smaller babies. We've also encountered issues with burrs and thorns puncturing the tires. Now it needs a new tube.

I have and it worked great on the sand near the water but was difficult on the deep loose sand. However, much better than any other stroller- it still pushed through the deep stuff.

It is not difficult to pull back. Both your kids should have no problem! My boys love this!

Hi Marco, you can use it on the beach but make sure not to get it wet for it isn't waterproof. -Vincent

sand and small pebbles work great in there. unfortunately small toys get put in there often and it can be tough to get them out.

I have not used it on sand but have used it on bumpy trails and grassy areas and it worked very well on both. It is very easy to handle and my granddaughter loves it

Sorry for the delay in responding. Absolutely can be used at the beach. I got it for my 4 yr old grandson. You can't really float on your back You kind of bob in the water. Works great. Only thing is that the vinyl ripped right away, but remember boys are rougher on things than girls. I had bought another life vest at Sams Club. Think I would go that route instead when I buy one this summer. He needs a bigger size.

Sand should be easy as long as you can lift & forcefully drop an average size hammer. Hard sand of course would take some drive to the hammer blows. It wouldn't have to be a hammer. Any hard thing with some weight to it would work. Hit the angle iron shaft part, not the tube that the umbrella slips into.

In very loose and fine sand, you must be in a position to pull and not push and even then, wider tires would help. Of course, being close to the load limit doesn't help either. (I transport a heavy canoe, trolling motor, big marine battery, wood oars, water bottles life facquets, etc...). But it does the job after all.
