Can I use this for toddler transport in the sand at the beach? Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagon Red
947477
we just bought it and naturally, like every kind of stroller/wagon, it's rough pulling for the parent, but it's not terrible in the sand. we go to the beach with the wagon, not the stroller. it shakes off the sand by the time we get home ))

It is made of recycled materials and is pretty sturdy. I wouldn't hesitate to let my grandson use it in the sand.

I haven't taken this to the beach, however, because the beach has soft sand, I can't imagine any cart with wheels would roll very well -- especially loaded down with goodies. Maybe what you're looking for would be attached to skis or a board?

I love this wagon. Ive bought 2 of them for my grandchildren. I think it should work alright in sand but just watch that the wheels are lined up right. I hit a patch of gravel once while turning it and the wheels got bogged down. I was afraid that I was going to bend something. It can actually fit 4 small children at a time and the kids love riding in it too. The top is a nice bonus to block out sun or rain. When my youngest son and his wife have a baby I'll be buying one for them too. Oh and its easy to fold and transport. I'm 57yrs old and I can put it in my trunk without much of a problem with the weight or size. I love this wagon. Ive bought 2 of them for my grandchildren.

No it would not go over sand, or hold a baby, it was a nice little wagon, its not as big as it looks. Sorry. Wish you luck.

You could use it there, but it would be difficult to roll due to the hard narrow wheels. For sand you absolutely need fat inflated tires, which I'm sure you could get, perhaps with the same size snap in tube aluminum "feet". Then you could change out the tires dependant upon the application. As is though, doable, but hard work.

It moves nicely over any terrain . I wouldn't take it over really deep soft sand though. Tires too narrow. A great folding cart though.

Yes, soft sand is NOT recommended. There is a better product named, "Beach Buggy". Look for it on line. The wheels on the Collapsible Wagon are way too narrow for any type of sand.

No, it has not been used at the beach. I wonder if the weight of the cart contents might make the wheels difficult to maneuver in the sand, but I really have no idea how useful it would be in that situation.

I had this wagon sent to Florida I live in Michigan, they use the wagon for the beach and just love it, their little girl who is 19 mo old loves to ride in it and they can put all their beach things in it along with her so they don't have to carry anything.

I love my beach wagon and even my grandchildren love pulling it. The 5 year old had trouble in soft sand, but then she was only 5. I take it to concerts and I have had more people come over to find out where I got it. You just have to remember to pack heavy items in the back.

I would say not so well. The wheels will not get you over the sand. If you don't mind dragging the cooler over the sand with the handle, that would be your best bet. It would be work.

You might contact the maker and see if they recommend it. It is designed to pull garden tools, I am using mine as a décor piece in my yard to hold buckets of flowers, I don't know if they would recommend hauling a child in it. It is a nice sturdy little wagon but I wouldn't want to say put a child in it, especially if I don't know the weight, their willingness to sit still. It doesn't have a seat belt and was not designed for children. The actual seat is not very large and am not sure it would hold a child. So contact the maker and see what they say.

Wagon is more stout (heavier) than a Radio Flyer type. To me it pulls very easily on very cheap wheels. It is a very narrow wheel set so it will tip easily going across slope or if you have a high load in it. Some sharp parts if this is a concern around kids.

I couldn't compare it to the Wonder Wheeler since I haven't tried that one but the Beachcomber Wagon does a good job in the soft sand. Good luck.

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.

I bought one used, looks like a good wagon, I plan to try and use one of the holes in the bottom to hold an umbrella and just get some sort of rubber piece to hold it in place.
