A day at the beach can be enjoyable whether you’re planning to go swimming, lying out in the sun, or enjoying a picnic with family and friends. However, carrying everything you need such as the beach towel and sports equipment, umbrellas for the beach as well as the beach chair can be a hassle particularly if you have pets or children in the car. So, a reliable beach cart is essential as it will help you avoid making several trips to the beach and help you carry an enormous load easier.
Must Read; Best Beach Wagons
At The Good Housekeeping Institute, our Lab experts test regularly everything needed for the ultimate beach experience, such as coolers that keep drinks cold, the best swimsuit brands as well as body and face sunscreen walking sandals, and many other things, such as beach wagons. When we test beach carts, we evaluate how simple it is to set them up, move clean, adjust, collapse and open. Also, we evaluate the performance of the wagon by testing them to determine if they are able to cope with different terrains as well as assessing the capacity to carry a load and storage capacity. Our picks below are the top performers from our tests and ones that have been highly rated and assessed.
All-Terrain Wagon
MacSports manufactures a wide range of popular wagons and this one isn’t an exception. Over 3,300 people have given the wagon a 4.6 score and stated that “it’s ideal for transporting large loads” and they were able to “enjoy on the beaches without hassle.” The reviewers said that the large wheels made it easier for the wagon to glide over the sandy beach.
The frame is heavy-duty and can support as much as 150 pounds and according to claims from the manufacturer it is mold – and UV-resistant. Two cup holders are provided for drinks. When you’re done with this wagon can be folded to 9.7 inches in thickness and includes a bag to store the items in.
Folding Outdoor Utility Wagon for Outdoor Use
The beach wagon of Whitsunday boasts more than 1,100 reviews with having a 4.6 rating and is less than the cost of other vehicles. It has a 3.5 cubic-foot capacity and is able to carry that weighs up to 100 pounds.
The handle is adjustable and the wheels can rotate 360 degrees for easy movement. Many reviewers have given the wagon praise for its simple assembly and use, even though some complain that it’s too heavy.
Folding Outdoor Utility Wagon for Outdoor Use
If you’re bringing lots of things for the sea and require a large cart, this one comes with 7 cubic feet of space that is 2 times larger than other beach wagons. Side storage pockets that expand can accommodate items like sunscreen and magazines, while these side slots are great to store foam noodles.
It is equipped with all-terrain tires that let you easily maneuver it across a variety of surfaces including gravel, sand, and grass. It’s also foldable for simple storage. In fact, many people were shocked at how compact it folds in relation to the amount it could hold. More than 1,000 Amazon reviewers gave it a 4.7 rating.
Anthem’s all-terrain stroller
We tested this beach cart and found it to be a great choice, our Lab experts determined that it’s a fantastic option for children as it’s compatible with a car seat for infants (adapters must be purchased) and can hold up to four children (!) and has reclining seats in case your kid wants to take a break. There are two large canopies that can protect both sides from sun protection.
A cup holder, as well as an organizer for keys and other small objects, can be connected to the handle to allow for easy access. A storage basket can be attached to the back of the wheel. We also liked the fact that it folds flat which makes it easy to move and put away.
Beach & Boardwalk Wagon
The Radio Flyer wagon c could use as a classic wagon to transport all the beach equipment and even as a two-seater for your children, or as a bench for everyone because the side panel can be pulled down. It features extra-wide wheels for more stability and better navigation in the sand. As our Lab experts examined this we were impressed by the panels that were zipped made it easier for children to climb inside and out.
While we loved the wagon in general but there were some disadvantages. If you’re bringing kids into the car it has plenty of space to store everything else. It also has seatbelts, not a full harness as some models.
