Aktive 53928 Beach - Aluminium Beach Chair Trolley, 52 x 47 x 100 cm

Product Information

You want a beach wagon with big, treaded wheels to help you navigate all types of sand. However, if you expect exceptionally rugged terrain, look for models with wheels that can rotate 360 degrees and have telescoping handles. They typically come with sturdy wheels to glide across varied terrains and are foldable so they take up less room in your car or at home. Our testers enjoyed that no setup was necessary, and it was easy to open and close. They loved the compactness of it and for the price range, they were impressed by the durability. Although they did have some issues moving the small tires through the sand, other online customers said that they were able to move through the sand easily enough. If you're looking for a budget wagon or a wagon that you'd use more for groceries or camping with the occasional beach trip, this is a good bet. An adjustable handle at the front of the trolley allows you to comfortably pull it behind you. The handle is ergonomically designed for a snug grip and is hinged to hold at a perfect height. Load capacity: If a trip to the beach with the kids involves a lot of gear, go for a trolley with a high load capacity that will be tough enough to carry the lot.

Think about your typical beach must-haves—like chairs, coolers, towels, and umbrellas—and make sure the wagon can haul it all with extra room for last-minute additions. Most beach wagons on this list can carry at least 100 pounds, though some can haul up to 300. Four-wheel models can typically carry more, while dolly-style wagons are better for lighter loads (and come with less storage space). You'll want something sturdy but also lightweight enough to transport if you don't fancy lugging anything too heavy from the car (or train) to your beach spot. Weight capacity We love a day at the beach: warm sun, soothing waves and kids and dogs who run out all their energy along the shoreline. However, lugging a day's worth of necessities, including beach towels, sports equipment, beach umbrellas and beach chairs can be cumbersome, especially if you have a toddler or pet to hang onto while you do the hauling. That's why a good beach wagon is crucial. Pulling one of these can save you from making multiple trips and keeps one of your arms free for holding a kid's hand or a leash. We tested a total of 19 beach wagons. In addition to the 10 included above that we liked most, here are the others we tested:From the home of some of the coolest outdoor play equipment around comes an inconspicuous and super-tough wagon that will make beach days easier. It comes with a sunshade, collapsible frame and chunky wheels ready to take on any terrain.

Looking for more helpful gear for an easier summer? From beach bags to roomy beach blankets, our roundups include the most coveted products and brands available in Australia. Our editorial team selects the products on this list based on their benefits and features. Items are not selected based on commercial relationships. When the testers received the beach wagons, we asked them to assemble the beach wagons using the instructions (if provided). Then the testers loaded the beach wagons with their beach essentials and pushed and pulled the wagons on the pavement. We then asked the testers to take the loaded wagons to the beach and push and pull them on sand and gravel. Testers were also asked to make hard pivots and maneuvers with the wagons. Collapsibility: Collapsible wagons are often easier to store, since they fold up compactly. If you're taking your wagon in and out of your car, a collapsible one is preferable so it fits easily in the trunk and is easier to transport. There’s a number of options that are similar in price, features and reliability to the Life Carver. If you’re after something simpler and more portable then I highly recommend looking at the Vango Transit Trolley.
