Has anyone used this on Siesta Key or other soft sand beaches? How did tit roll when loaded?

I have used it in soft sand and it rolls fine. The only thing you must do is pull it behind you rather than push it.

Rolls ok with some minor effort. The unit has to be pulled backward with front small wheels off the sand surface. Heavier loads require a little more effort. We use it at Fort DeSoto Beach and Turtle Beach carrying two chairs, food bag, water and multiple towels. I would buy it again.

I live on the beach in Panama City Beach. When on hard surfaces it is quite easy to push. I don't recommend overloading or putting a loaded cooler on it. Once you get to the soft sand, turn the cart around and pull it - that way it works quite nicely.Certainly beats hauling your stuff in your hands.

We fill that up with chairs, coolers, etc....it doesn't really roll...but it's so much better than anything else we have ever used! We live in Beverly, MA and go to Gloucester beaches with wonderful soft sand....Hope this helps!

Yes it handles well when loaded. We go to large beaches and every time I am very happy with it!

I use an auger exactly like this with a cordless drill to set umbrellas in the sand. Even in soft sand where some of the material falls into the hole, it works fine. I drill the hole, insert the umbrella shaft and work it in, and then I pour some water around it to firm put he sand. It works like a charm. I borrowed this idea after seeing the 'beach boy workers" in Florida setting up rental umbrellas using this method.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, but I left my soft top down but still connected to the roll bars the second time i used it and it worked just fine. I also have an emergency water proof cover for mine.

I haven't yet. I normally take my BOB Revolution to the beach. I use the BOB motion when I am out and about around the city/stores.

It seems to be the consensus among my martial arts friends that both work fine to stabilize BOB but when attempting to move, fill or empty sand is more problematic....messy....etc. I've only used water and it's easy to fill, move to other locations once filled. I hope this helps

We have used this "little device" on our beach-brella several times and we have hung a small portable radio, camera, our "sand-bagged cell phones without any issues. Just make sure it's tight around the pole. It's very handy. We don't bother hanging a towel on it because we have the round table under it on which we keep our wine "cups" and don't wish to drink sand.

I have used too many devices that claimed to hold the umbrella in the wind. This is the ONLY device that works, is simple to use, weights nothing and folds to put in beach bag. You may have misunderstood how this works, the hole in bag has nothing to do with the umbrella, the hole in bag is only to drain the sand out. Unfold bag, have kids fill bag with 12-14" of sand. Now use any screw in beach umbrella with a large vent at top of umbrella. Now attach straps of bag to umbrella, voila it will stay up in 40mph winds. Ready to go home pull sand bag up and all the sand drains out the hole. Filled with dry sand it weights 30lbs, if you have umbrella with vent to let wind out which that and sand bag solves issues with blown over umbrellas for good

Perfect for that purpose. Top and bottom both zip off to make it easy to shake out sand. Comes with a storage bag to transport in, but have trouble fitting it back in bag because it has to be folded in just the right way to fit. It folds nearly flat, so we don't bother with the bag.

It handles good. It rolls slower the softer the sand is, and much easier on harder sand and gravel. It has good balance. I put two waterproof boat cushions in the bottom and pull my daughter all over in it. She loves it and so do I!

I have taken it on sand. It moves fine, but I have it connected to a bike, which isn't so easy to ride in sand. Normally I hop off of the bike and just walk it and have never had an issue with the cart getting stuck.

It's great for the beach but of course won't roll well through sand if it's not packed down. Easy to clean by lifting out the hard plastic liner and you can just flip over and pat the sand off.

I'm not sure if it actually rolled but we went to several beaches with it and it was much easier than if it didn't have wheels.

Yes................. I didn't use any sand!You have to help it in but it eventually goes down and the top side comes up! :-)

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.

I just used this set once at camp site, It work better on a flat and solid area. I don't think it will work on soft sand cause the leg will sink in.

Yes, soft sand is NOT recommended. There is a better product named, "Beach Buggy". Look for it on line. The wheels on the Collapsible Wagon are way too narrow for any type of sand.
