How does this handle on sand? Has anyone taken this to the beach?

I have bought it just a few days ago, I still don´t take it out of the box... but I have a friend who says that it´s a little complicated to handle with the kids inside on the dry sand, because the tires are thin, so the the car gets buried... he says that it´s OK in the wet sand...

Not great. It's like pulling a sled, the wheels don't float, because they're rounded and to small. However if it's all you have, pulling a sled is easier than carrying everything.

I haven'tried it at the beach. There is a fin that hold it in place in the car between the seat and the console which would probably not remain steady in the sand, especially with a cup making it unbalanced.

Never used it on sand. I can tell you it is a nice well built cart with good size tires on it. Works well over grass.

I am not sure about a beach, I do know the cart is fantastic. Whenever I go out with it, several people always ask, where did you get that?! It is extremely sturdy with lots of room. I am not sure how it would do on beach sand though. Probably very well with a little extra effort. You may have to actually share the carry burden with your beach buddy to get to that perfect beach lounging spot. But on all other surfaces? It's fantastic. Cannot go wrong with this cart. I did have one problem when I ordered, it was delivered missing 2 small pieces of hardware. Sandusky overnighted them to me and it was super easy to put together.

so long as you have a fairly spacious yard... that's what we use it for typically. I've never taken it to the beach.

I live in upstate New York and can say with complete confidence that this does wonderful in the snow! I can't answer about the beach, I'm guessing it depends on how deep the sand is..

Unfortunately I have not used it on the beach. We live in Bend Oregon and use them to take our paddle boards by bike to river access.

well it is quite sturdy and has a broad base so it should hold up fine...except on sand you can't bounce the balls off the ground, of course. Have fun

I really haven't tried it on the beach, but the cross bar that helps keep it from sinking into the grass should be of some use to stabilize the chair.We really love ours. For an older person they are very easy to get out of because of their height.

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

It's ok on sand. I would suggest that you get a wagon with rubber tires if you go to the beach often. We ended up purchasing a beach utility wagon because we didn't feel that this wagon was the greatest at the beach. Otherwise, we love the wagon!

Did you wind up taking this to the beach? I'm thinking of buying it for the same reason -- I doubt it will work in the sand but I'm hoping it will be good enough for the 3 block walk to the ocean.

Yes, it is very rugged and can handle the beach with ease. I love mine. Dan

I'm not sure. We haven't had it on the beach but my guess is no unless the sand is compact. It does ride nicely on concrete though. The wheels are not the old noisy cheap plastic type.

First of all I have to say.... we love this thing...... But, with that said, we currently use it on a paved side walk area and then all beach... It does great so far.

No Karen, we did not use it on the sand. However, like anything else on wheels it would be ok on wet sand but I think it would be difficult on dry, loose sand. We did love ours, but we only used it on pavement and grass. It is strudy. If your dog is heavy, as ours was it could be hard. Think of a wheelchair on the sand. I hope that is helpful.
