I live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and would use it on the beach daily. My concern is sand in the feet and fluid mechanism. Problem??

I had the same concern. Here is what I did and it actually worked. The put the legs and fluid mechanism in a medium dry bag and taped the top shut.

I haven't had occasion to use it in those conditions, but it seems to be capable of withstanding that kind of exposure.

I've never used mine in sand.But have taken it on a farm with lots of dirt. it still does fine. I can't really answer your question

There is a floor covering for this. You would not be sitting directly on sand.

I use mine at the in-laws pool and it works great. With that said, I imagine its quite a bit noisier at the beach. If you're looking to rock out, you'll probably need something with a little more oomph.

No, I wouldn't go without sand/water because it's top heavy. We put 350 lbs of sand in ours and one night with heavy winds, it still toppled over (40miles winds). Then we added 50 more lbs, and it hasn't toppled over yet.

I think not. It will probably roll nicely on wet packed sand, but would get bogged down in dry sand. Either way, I don't want to risk sand in the wheels and fittings causing wear and malfunction.

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...

No electronic equipment holds up well to sand. Sand can get in the USB and sound jack. I think it can also find its way through the speaker cover. I treat it like a phone...no water and no sand.

No..its a good chair for the money..if you sit on the beach and not go swimming with it, there shouldn't be a problem.

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

no I have no problems like this I've walked on the beach I've used it in dirt and haven't had one problem with it I absolutely love mine and so does my Furbaby. the wheels are very sturdy and strong I have even pushed mine out in the grass and no problems no wheel collapsing nothing like that like I said I absolutely love it

I'm not sure. Sand could probably get caught between the wheels. I have never brought it to the beach before.

I have had mine at the beach camping and have had no issues. I rinsed it off with fresh water after being submersed. Not sure about long term emersion though.

I've owned one since june of 2013, I'm on the Ocean every weekend and no less than twice a week. Iv been caught in the rain and had plent of salt water splash on the Standard Horizon unit with no issues. I wouldn't throw it over board and try to use it after but its worked well for me here in Maine.

I live in Arizona so I keep water in it but sand will work in colder climates. The core is surrounded by foam so it won't affect the impact to your hands and feet.

For a beach, I can't say. However, I have gone through sand and it works just fine. I would think it would handle it okay?

Mine was filled with water for a while with no leaks, but I found my umbrella was to heavy for just water. Ended up going with sand.

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.
