Has anyone used this at the beach? How does it drive over sand?

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.

Does not work well in sand. There are other wheeled items I've purchased thru amazon that are made specifically for sand that work well.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

Don't know how well it would work in the sand as the tires are very narrow they're not big balloon tires they are large and controls easy and has lots room but I don't know in the sand how it would work hope that helps

I've never taken it on sand so I couldn't say for sure but I imagine it might be tough. I've used it on a mulched path and that was fine but the sand would probably need to be packed down for it to get through without effort.

In the dirt with the Traxxas stock tires, the truck works great! It gives you just enough slip to slide around and have fun while maintaining control.As far as the sand, I bought sand paddle tires to drive on the beach. They really worked wonders. The treads on the stock tires don't have deep enough treads for traction. As a precaution, if you happen to drive on the beach, make sure you take care of your motor or it will burn out.

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

If the sand is pretty packed down and not too loose/thick, it should work just fine. I definitely wouldn't pull it across a sandy beach. Also, if the wagon is pretty loaded down, it will make it kind of difficult to pull. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

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.

Depends on how deep the sand is-on a regular beach, no I would not use it. We use it to haul around the 5th wheel camping etc. I think it would get bogged own in deep sand.

I have taken it on sand. It moves fine, but I have it connected to a bike, which isn't so easy to ride in sand. Normally I hop off of the bike and just walk it and have never had an issue with the cart getting stuck.

Since it has a motor in it that attaches to a car outlet, or, when inside, to an electrical outlet, it is heavier than most coolers. Also, there is venting on the side of the cooler to reduce the heat from the motor. I do not think you want to take this to a beach where there is sand.

We have had ours for years and love it! It does OK going over the soft sand, though it is easier on a hard surface.
