how does this wagon do at the beach, sand wise?

My daughter said she has not had it on sand but has taken it thru grass and it's just ok on grass. A little unsteady. She said she couldn't imagine it would be do well in sand/beach. But, as I said, she has not actually tried using it on sand.

I've never had it on sand, but we take it in the grass and a gravel road all of the time. With its large wheels, I would imagine it would be fine in the sand. We've had it since Aug 2013 and love it! We use it almost everyday to go to the park

Sorry for taking so long to respond, my notifications are horrible lol!!! Okay, back to the question, the cart is fine against the areas of the beach BUT...... be very wary on bumping against hard items because the metal is easily bendable. If you don't bump into nothing severe than you are fine.

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.

The rear wheels are very large. The front wheels are small. You push it on sidewalks or walkways. You pull it through the loose sand. The large and wide wheels roll across sandy beaches easily. We have no regrets on our purchase.

I bought 4 of them. Happy with 3 of them. 1 gotten from different vendor. Handle is no good. Really, all of them are not that great pulling them in loose sand. But better than carrying thinges by hand to the beach. 3 daughters and 6 grandkids. The wagons are great for hauling baseball, football and soccer equipment. No idea on how to help you with your problems. Sorry.

Yes, our family has used it at OBX on both the ocean and sound sides and it moves easily compared to other beach devices we have used. We have also used it at our grandkids soccer games to cart everything from car to the fields as well.

Never tried it on sand. Should be okay on packed sand. Think the bar through wheels would get stuck in soft sand.

It is fine for beach use due to the big tires. I'm sure that is you loaded it with 300 pounds it would be difficult but with reasonable loads it's fine. Be sure to rinse out the wheel bearings after beach use though.

I think it will depend on the type of beach. Some beaches like on the Atlantic are somewhat hard. The wheels look fairly wide so it would probably work okay there. However, the sand is deep and very soft like sugar along the Gulf. I have a beach cart with very large balloon tires(Wheeleez) and it works best for that but it cost 3X this one.

It does pretty well at sand.. The unit is very light.. We have an oreck but tend to use this instead

Hi...I don't believe it would roll well in sand. We use it at the park, and it works well rolling on hard surfaces from what I can tell.

The wheels are not wide. If sand is packed hard yes, if not probably less easy.

I haven't tried pushing it on sand but it's a smooth ride, so I imagine it would push well on sand for a little while at least. The handle is solid and easy to maneuver on turns and things. Hope this helps.

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.

I have not used it on sand but it works fine through thick grass and dirt. I don't think firm sand would cause a problem. Loose sand I think would be difficult (for most wagons).

Yes, but I would not recommend it unless you are on a paved surface. The cart has a narrow wheel base on the front and can tip over on uneven surfaces like sand dunes. That is why you put beach chairs in flat on top vs stacking them in on their sides so they stick up above the wagon top. The first time I used it this way, the beach wind blew the wagon over sideways. Now I lay them flat on top and use a bungee cord to keep them from sliding off.

Yes we have used this stroller on the sand here in Seaside Oregon and it works great. Easy to push with the big tires.
