Is this easier to tow in the soft sand then the Wonder Wheeler with the Ultra Wide Wheels?

I love my beach wagon and even my grandchildren love pulling it. The 5 year old had trouble in soft sand, but then she was only 5. I take it to concerts and I have had more people come over to find out where I got it. You just have to remember to pack heavy items in the back.

Yes, our family has used it at OBX on both the ocean and sound sides and it moves easily compared to other beach devices we have used. We have also used it at our grandkids soccer games to cart everything from car to the fields as well.

I couldn't compare it to the Wonder Wheeler since I haven't tried that one but the Beachcomber Wagon does a good job in the soft sand. Good luck.

I really don't know because I never had the other kind. It doesn't pull easily in the soft sand but it beats trying to carry everything. I'm definately glad I bought it.

No, the wheels are too narrow. My brother and father had to lift it once we made it off the boardwalk and into the sand.

In very loose and fine sand, you must be in a position to pull and not push and even then, wider tires would help. Of course, being close to the load limit doesn't help either. (I transport a heavy canoe, trolling motor, big marine battery, wood oars, water bottles life facquets, etc...). But it does the job after all.

Very easy. It is like pulling or pushing a wagon. It has large wheels. It is a great ride for the price!

the walker may do well on packed sand but would bog down in the softer sand due to the weight on the wheels by the user. This is an amazing walker, very versatile

It is easy to maneuver and will fit over a ball. No it does not rub the ground when towing.

Its hard on the motor because of the wheels spinning u need special wheels and its rough on bearings but it will do it w sand tires

No, the platform is heavier and wider as well. The whole scooter seems more sturdy. The hind wheel is also a double on the maxi vs. a single on the mini. My 3 year old is petite (30lbs) but she has no problem with the Maxi size.

it's about as heavy as any other four wheel ride on atv that you can see at a retail store. lifting it single handedly may not be a good idea due to it's size. But this is a great ride on and my son loves it and i also have another 4 wheeler jeep, but my son prefers the power wheels since it's comfortable and easy to ride. Maybe you can use a basic dolly to lift this up and down the stairs, should be pretty easy.....good luck

Faster than a knobby, but still quite heavy. Of course, much less traction in the dirt/sand.

Just looked at the wheels. They appear to be rubber (as they give a little when pushed on). They have a slight tread pattern, but I have never attempted to pull the wagon in sand as I would think it would be difficult. We pulled my daughter on concrete, asphalt and grass all with success but never attempted sand.

Yes, it's relatively easy to lift one end and roll on the built-in wheels. It's a bit heavy though so caution for anyone who shouldn't be lifting.

It depends... We live in Hawaii, so ours has seen its fair share of beaches. If the sand is somewhat packed, it pushes along like a dream. If it's loose and deep, you'll feel like you're pushing through quicksand. We've had pretty good luck 'off-roading', but I can see the ride being jerky for smaller babies. We've also encountered issues with burrs and thorns puncturing the tires. Now it needs a new tube.

Pulling it on soft sand is definitely a workout - especially loaded with kids and supplies BUT don't let that scare you off - it is the best purchase I made (besides an Xtracycle) for transporting both my children and gear all at the same time. You get used to the weight on the soft sand and just go slowly if necessary. We love it and go to the beach several times a week in it.

Yes, it is easier than a wheelbarrow since the weight is supported by the four wheels -- all you have to do is pull and steer. Also, it is less tippy.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...
