How is it walking it to the beach? I live down the street from the beach and it is a bit much on my back to carry it.

Thought I would like it more but it's awkward to pull and have not used it very often

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.

Joanne, my only 'complaints' are 1) that the handle is a nylon strap and 2) the small sized wheels are a little tricky to inflate with my air pump. Regarding #1, the strap is fine for most walks to the beach, I just wish they would've made it a little more ergonomic for those long walks to and from the parking lot at Trestles! As for #2, the hub and rim of the wheel are close together, making it a bit tricky to fit the my pump nozzle over the stem. I have since found a nozzle that was more compact and worked. I've been happy with my Mule and would recommend getting one.

We use it for going back & forth to the beach but yes, it is pretty sturdy, I think it would be fine for long distance.

Thanks for your response. It looks too big to carry so I will get another smaller one. I hope you never have to use it.

It weighs about 5-7lbs but since you carry it on your back like a backpack it feels much lighter. I have used one for years and really love it, keeps your hands free to carry all the other stuff you take to the beach.

Too heavy? It's not a light chair. If you are going to be carrying it on a nature hike, then yes it is too heavy. If you are taking it from the car to a picnic or outdoor event, it's perfect. The durability thing is a big part of it. I've been very happy with how the chair holds up.

I have only used it once at the beach so far. I think there was some sand stuck to the bag that I brushed off. After I emptied the bag out at home, I also shook it hard and all the sand seemed to be gone. So I would have to say, it's not perfect for the sand but not terrible either.

I use mine to got to the beach and carry beach chairs and beach stuff, never more than 20 pounds and it's under a mile to the beach. If you were packing this up with more than 35 lbs I'd recommend investing in a better quality trailer. This is mostly plastic and doesn't have an axle, the wheels attach to the frame.

I have taken mine to the beach and found if you fold a towel in half, lay it flat and set the chair on top it holds up pretty well. Just make sure you bring an additional towel for yourself.

Very easy to carry. You need to be aware that if there is any breeze (like at the beach), it is challenging to put together because its so light, the wind will blow it around. Also, one of the connector rods broke while I was assembling it and I never used it since.

Never carried it to the beach. Didn't know that it was intended for beach use. It sits on my deck. However, you should have a "nanny cart" and you wouldn't care how much the umbrella, chairs, lunch, beer, etc weighed.

I only use this in the yard. It would not be convenient to carry while walking. I think it would be cumbersome.

It's fairly awkward for me to carry, as it is largeand heavy and though it will roll up, it is not very flexible. (Keep in mind I am a 73 yr old partially disabled person.) I use it under my treadmill to avoid floor damage and to absorb round. You might be better off with a heavy duty Manduka yoga mat. I have one of those, and it is amazing for my arthritic knees. They are very dense, so they might work well on the beach.

Pulling it on soft sand is definitely a workout - especially loaded with kids and supplies BUT don't let that scare you off - it is the best purchase I made (besides an Xtracycle) for transporting both my children and gear all at the same time. You get used to the weight on the soft sand and just go slowly if necessary. We love it and go to the beach several times a week in it.

heavy, you definitely know you are carrying it. depends on your needs. wouldn't want to carry it around all day, but moving it from room to room or short trips, not bad.

I live a mile from the beach and have had no issues with the basket, I love it, its great, I can carry heavy weigh in both sides and feel balanced on my bike. It doesn't appear to be coated, not rust.

It would be ease for me to carry through the woods or on the beach. There are straps on it that allow you to place it on your back while walking.

Too heavy to carry to the beach if the walk is long. But easy to move around the deck or fold and store for the season. VERY comfortable!
