I’m no professional engineer but I don’t understand why in this day and age that anyone would design then make a rugged terrain cart with such a narrow wheel base as the ones that fell over!
@@markchandler001 for me having to assemble and reassemble is a no go. The beach wagon does really well at most beaches but you have to go slow. When im dragging more than my body weight across the sand going slow is not a problem. It folds and unfolds instantly and has served me so well I gave my old one to a friend and got the new version with the built on table. Old one made it almost 10 years with me. New one is the same quality to expect it to last just as long.
We had a Mac cart for years and it worked well. I got used to the packing methods. It rusted in a flood so see scrapped it, only to replace with an inferior brand from a big box store. We also have an upright cart with the smaller wheels. I think it’s a Rio from 10 years ago. In my experience, anything with the gray balloon wheels is the only real solution for soft sand.
I find your videos hilarious! I love my Rio Wonder wheeler. I am (sadly) a day tripper so it only goes to the beach a few times a year but it has lasted (I think) 15 or more years!
We have a seykey beach cart with all terrain wheels and while I like it a lot, it's very difficult to pull through soft sand when it's full. It basically just sinks into the sand and the wheels don't actually roll. I end up just dragging it through
That sounds like a workout! But you can haul more gear in your Seykey than I can in my MacSports beach wagon, and I'm sure your beach wagon hasn't tipped over on you.
I tried this idea a few years ago with a kind of improvised set of wheels from a D.I.Y store. In fairness it wasn't designed for a beach but the idea was the same. It was indeed a total disaster trying to walk over a golf course with single sandy footpaths & over grown prickly bushes in some places? I ended up giving it away to the owner of the camp site that I used to stay on. The 2 you have reviewed are obviously designed for the job at ✋️ hand. But if I was to choose one it would definitely be the pump up wheel buggy 😂🪁🎊🥎 great review though 👍 👌
We have the RIO Wonder Wheeler cart and really like it. It looks like they've improved the tote bag with it and I've seen a conversion kit to change out the wheels to the balloon wheels. I would definitely purchase the Wonder Wheeler again. You've got a great channel. Getting alot of ideas for beach gear.
Where can you get the conversion kit? That sounds like the perfect solution! I saw a place that sells the WW with balloon wheels but charges $100 more for it. Maybe I’m wrong, but that seems like a lot.
The ballon wheels are a game changer, I can pull my 38kg sea scooter with ease now compared to a solid wheel beach cart that was usually a two person operation
I have had two beach wagons. Gave my old one to a friend after nearly a decade bc I upgraded to the one with the built in table. I'm a smallish woman so for me once I load up that beast it's so heavy I have no choice but to go slow. I have yet to have the tipping issue you showed but I also have a Rio backpack chair so my heavy laod is never high. I do wish it came with some sort of side straps to haul long umbrellas on each side bc otherwise you have the umbrella sticking up at an angle. The wagon is extremely useful for hauling firewood for beach bonfires. And I've found my dogs love to dig themselves under the shade it creates.
I'm looking at two 2-wheel carts right now, both with balloon tires. Any reviews or comparative info on "My Beach Cart" vs "Wheeleez?" Both in the $300 range. Need to easily go over soft stand and also be able to wheel a few blocks on sidewalks and go down beach steps without destroying the tires. Thanks!
I had the OG Wonder Wheeler for 10+ years and it was amazing. Had to get rid of it a few years ago when we moved overseas. Have since moved back and miss it so much. Wondering if the newer ones will live up to their predecessor, especially since RIO brands is under new management. I’m not so sure about the plastic tires. I liked my old narrower rubber ones. Then I saw this video and the Crestwalker looks great but it’s nowhere to be found! Out of stock on Amazon, Wayfair, even EBay, and there’s no company website to be found. Any idea what happened to them since last summer?
The Crestwalker beach carts were available in March. I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully, they'll be back soon. I've been told by a subscriber that the Rio Wonder Wheelers are slightly different but still good.
I'll be dragging my Mac beach wagon on to Sanibel Island today. It's like pulling a corpse on the sand (don't ask me how I know). I'm usually out of breath by the time we reach our spot. Gotta buy the Crestwalker. And you are correct, ignore their advice to load heavier items in the rear. When I do that, the front wheels are usually off the ground when pulling.
@@BeachGearGuy Our chair you reviewed with your mom broke today!! There was an uneven spot in the sand and a portion of the leg snapped in two. SOB! Must have had some sort of unseen hairline crack.
Any experience with using those steel garden carts from the hardware stores? Most of them have larger, infaltable rubber wheels. Feels like they might do the trick for softer sand, though they’re probably a bit heavier and not as convenient from weight, etc.
The Crestwalker in this video is great but it’s pricey. The Rio Wonder Wheeler beach cart, also in this video, is a good beach cart and it’s a good value.
One of these days I'll convince you to do a quest wagon vs quest cart comparison (both are at DICKs) but this is close enough to that ;) Great video! Thanks for posting!
I haven't tried Wheeleez, but I've only heard good things about them. I think it's great that they make all-terrain wheelchairs for the beach. I primarily frequent beaches in Cape Cod Bay.
I’m no professional engineer but I don’t understand why in this day and age that anyone would design then make a rugged terrain cart with such a narrow wheel base as the ones that fell over!
They have to fit in tight places when stored up
@@Silverback_GMT410 Oh that’s far more important than the cart falling over! Detachable wheels!

If you're not a professional engineering, doesn't that immediately clarify the rest of that wall of text? Did you need to keep going???
@@strjourneys7919 I was being polite! Should have said “any idiot would know a narrow wheel base will topple over!”

Agreed! The balloon wheels sure do make the beach cart easier to pull over soft sand. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! 15 years! That’s impressive!
Thank you for this review it really helped me make a choice on which one to get
Cool! Glad I could help! Which one did you choose?
Thank you for your videos!! We just got a new beach cabana & we chose one based on all your reviews🎉 We love it 👍☀🙂
My pleasure! That's great to hear! Thanks!

@@BeachGearGuy very true!
Just wanted to come back and update that it is still brutally difficult pulling our Seykey cart through soft sand. I'll be sore for awhile haha.
I like the cart w/ inflatable wheels . It was clearly the winner .
It was the winner for me!

I’ve got the heavy steel bote mule cart. Added custom racks it weighs a ton two people pull often but it’s a beast!
The custom racks sound cool! Too bad it weighs a ton.
This one looks awesome. I’m just wondering how often I’ll have to put air in those tires. The plastic wheels are grab and go every time.
I haven’t needed to inflate them since shooting the video, but I’m keeping the air pump.
I used a 4×4 trailor behind a riding mower and hauled volkswagon sized loads of brush with rope to tie it all down.
Cool!

Thanks! Some other folks have been commenting that the new Rio Wonder Wheeler Beach cart is different. I should pick up a new one to try out.

Yay! Another helpful video!

Right on! Thanks for sharing!
I had the same problem with the beach wagon. It kept tipping. I took it back several days after I bought it.
Thanks for sharing! I'm currently reviewing a beach wagon that's similar in size but with balloon wheels and a wider wheelbase.

Great video Matty! I'll definitely consider! Regards Shane from Trinidad!
Thanks, Shane!
I'm looking at two 2-wheel carts right now, both with balloon tires. Any reviews or comparative info on "My Beach Cart" vs "Wheeleez?" Both in the $300 range. Need to easily go over soft stand and also be able to wheel a few blocks on sidewalks and go down beach steps without destroying the tires. Thanks!
I have yet to get my hands on either one, but Wheeleez has a good reputation.
I love my beach wagon!!! ❤ Andcyeah it’s kinda hard to pull plug not packed right or over packed! I use bungee cords 😻
Thank you for an awesome video!
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
Is there a way to get the beach walker wheels on their own? Keep up the good work!
Thanks Travis! I’ve seen just the balloon wheels for sale online but Crestwalker doesn’t sell them.
@@BeachGearGuy Thank you.
Can you do a review on the SOLI canopy?
I will if they send me one.

Right! It does a wheelie when it's overloaded in the back. Have fun at the beach! 🏖️😎

Oh no! That stinks. The aluminum leg snapped? I hope it didn't ruin your day at the beach. You should definitely return it.
Great beach gear review. Thank you.
Thanks!
That balloon wheel cart is currently unavailable on Amazon
I know. ☹️ I've got my eye out for other beach carts with balloon wheels.
Any experience with using those steel garden carts from the hardware stores? Most of them have larger, infaltable rubber wheels. Feels like they might do the trick for softer sand, though they’re probably a bit heavier and not as convenient from weight, etc.
Is there a beach wagon that you would recommend?
The Crestwalker in this video is great but it’s pricey. The Rio Wonder Wheeler beach cart, also in this video, is a good beach cart and it’s a good value.
Which do you prefer between the Wonder and Beach cart?
Do you mean between the Crestwalker beach cart with the balloon wheels and the Rio Wonder Wheeler?
Man I would still have to choose the wonder wheeler the inflatable one would be easier but for the price i can work out a little harder haha
George!!! Yeah! There's a big difference in the price!
You need to look at the Creative Outdoor wagons...a great little wagon that will beat that one all to hell...
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out.
One of these days I'll convince you to do a quest wagon vs quest cart comparison (both are at DICKs) but this is close enough to that ;)
Great video! Thanks for posting!
What do you think of Wheeleez, and what beaches do you frequent?!
I haven't tried Wheeleez, but I've only heard good things about them. I think it's great that they make all-terrain wheelchairs for the beach. I primarily frequent beaches in Cape Cod Bay.
Very heplful!
Cool! Glad it was helpful!
looking for some beach wheels for my inflatable sup dolly. those crestwalker wheels look like the ticket!
That narrow wheel base in the front is a terrible design. Great video! Just found your channel.
Thanks and welcome!
Should try the seamule and show us an actual person who will put it through the tests.
Worse wagon ever! I bought the Mac years ago and hate it.
It's rubbish if it keeps falling over. How anoying.
Dude sounds like a child, no thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to sound more manly for you next time. 😁
So, they both suck
Terrible voice over
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
