TECNOLIFE Mac Sports Steel Folding Trolley XL with Cargo Net and All Terrain Wheels 1327296

Product Information

From there, we narrowed our list of products to those that could comfortably carry enough cargo for a day at the beach or for a group of tailgaters. While all five of our finalists worked fairly well in our more general tests, The Mac Sports wagon also stood out as an overall winner because it combined durability and weight capacity with a tight turn radius and general ease of use. With larger (8 diameter) treaded wheels, this wagon can also withstand a larger load (300 lbs) across various surfaces including dirt, grass, mud, gravel, sand and the like, without tipping over When we started researching folding wagons, we weren’t aware of any brand that was synonymous with this particular niche market. While we still wouldn’t say that there is an overwhelming dominant brand for folding wagons, it became clear through our testing that Mac Sports knows what they are doing. The Seina wagon is more or less comparable to the Mac Sports Utility Wagon, both in terms of size and wheel type. However, we found the material to feel notably less “premium”, and in fact the material started to fray a bit towards the end of our testing period.

In case you need a wagon for grocery shopping or for carrying your kids, you will have to choose the model that has a high load capacity. On top of that, it should be built from a sturdy material that won’t rip. CONSTRUCTION Maneuverability: Some wagons, especially those made for children, can be easily pushed and pulled, adding to maneuverability. It's also wise to look for large wheels that can navigate different types of terrain. Speaking about the fabric, you shouldn’t just ‘wing it’ – do your research on what materials the manufacturer uses before committing to buying from him. Make sure the wagon you have an eye on is constructed from the highest quality materials that will withstand high load and a variety of weather conditions. Remember that the durability of your collapsible wagon should never be compromised.

Folding wagons vs strollers

A reliable wagon can help ensure that all of your food, drinks and anything else you need get from point A to point B gets there safely, and without anyone needing to carry everything in your arms. After using all of the wagons extensively over a one-month period, we determined that the Mac Sports – Heavy Duty Collapsible Wagon was the best among our finalists for use on mud and sand. If you’re moving it over tougher terrain or carrying bigger loads it’ll meet your demands without complaints. The Mac Sports – Heavy Duty Folding Wagon is a durable and versatile wagon that is both easy to use and efficient. Before we even started testing the wagons, the Mac Sports – Heavy Duty stood out as a premium product. Both the metal frame and the fabric are sturdy and capable of handling more than 100 pounds of cargo. In our month of heavy testing, we saw no signs of wear and tear, which indicates that the wagon should last for years without any issues. Best beach wagon The sacrifices you’ll make moving from a stroller to a wagon are fairly serious, though. For one thing, sitting in a wagon with your legs stretched out isn’t very comfortable, so most kids will prefer riding around for hours in a sit-up stroller seat.

The more we tested the five finalists, the more we came to appreciate just how much better the steering is on the Mac Sports wagon. While it might seem like having four wheels in each corner would be more efficient, our testing found that having the two front wheels close to each other and, most importantly, directly connected to the steering handle, worked significantly better than the alternatives.On the whole, if you have multiple kids but don’t need a double stroller every day, a wagon is a cost-effective and versatile way to let your older child take a break on your longer mall trips. It’ll also help you carry your shopping. Important features to consider At the time this article was published, the price of the Seina was about the same as the Mac Sports Utility Wagon, so if that’s your budget we think you’re better off with the Mac Sports wagon. Creative Outdoor Distributors – Folding Wagon

Realistically, we wouldn’t want to transport more than 50 or 60 pounds in this wagon – except for short distances or when absolutely necessary. It will work with 100+ pounds of cargo, but it really shines at lower weights. We also looked at the general stability of each wagon, including how easy or difficult it was to expand and collapse.

Another unique attribute is that one side of the wagon bed unzips, turning your wagon into a bench. You wouldn’t want to pull it around with legs dangling, but if you’re parked (as we did at a parade) the bench mode is quite comfortable for three bigger kids who just need a place to sit.
