Has anyone used this walker at the beach and if so, how did it work? Thanks so much for your time.

I have had this walker for approximate a year and have used it on all rough terrain. However, I do live near the Gulf Shore and have been their many times but never with this walker. I know for certain this walker would wallow in the soft sand and you will not be able to use it anywhere in loose soil or sand. Even if you had large inflatable tires, you would tire quickly trying to push it through the loose sand.

I have not used it at the beach, but I would not expect it to work there. You need large, inflatable tires to go over sand.

No, No , No!!!! this is not designed for beach sand - yes it has pneumatic tires BUT they are too narrow to stop the weight of the wagon loaded with your stuff from sinking. It will cause you untold headaches DON'T DO IT! ***Beach wagons are sold online and in beach supply stores near Beaches - I've seen them in hardware stores located near beaches. BEACH wagons have tires 2 and 3 times wider than the ones on this wagon, they do not have heavy-duty metal frames like this one -People who advised this is good for the beach do not speak from experience they ASS-U-ME (assume) but they are WRONG! This wagon is designed to hold 600lbs on solid ground, by itself it weighs 40 pounds - that's no beach wagon.

I was told it wasn't for sand but I have 3 of these and love them!! I think in packed sand could be ok but walking thru sand dunes would be a struggle but it is to walk too!! Perhaps you could retro fit it to have good sand tires put on.,,, but they are wonderfulovong strollers just wist they were made for adults :-)

Beach use is exactly why I bought mine because the plastic ones are so crappy. I've had good luck using this on the beach!

I have no idea. Like I said it is a good Walker. Not as good as a wheelchair. The wheels don't move well when there's body weight on it unless you're on a tile floor or wooden floor and you're only going straight!

It's very light and great at the park. It does not work well at the beach though... Not like what it said.

Hi:Yes, I bought it to use it at the beach. I've had it for several month without any problems. I don't like the smaller beach chairs that drops me to the sand. I live in Miami beach and so far, so good.Thanks;IF

I don't know how it is on the beach. I have only used it on the deck. Very nice lounger. We want to get a second one.

I just got back from a trip which required my mom to push me over brick sidewalks which were often uneven and cracked. I weigh 160 lbs. She pushed the equivalent of one block on straight path. It was okay but doing an incline was more of a problem. Also, it not a traditional wheelchair but it was better than walking with a regular walker.

I am not sure about a beach, I do know the cart is fantastic. Whenever I go out with it, several people always ask, where did you get that?! It is extremely sturdy with lots of room. I am not sure how it would do on beach sand though. Probably very well with a little extra effort. You may have to actually share the carry burden with your beach buddy to get to that perfect beach lounging spot. But on all other surfaces? It's fantastic. Cannot go wrong with this cart. I did have one problem when I ordered, it was delivered missing 2 small pieces of hardware. Sandusky overnighted them to me and it was super easy to put together.

We have had absolutely no problem with our wonder wheeler. We have only 50 to 75 yards of paving to pull before the beach. We have seen very little road wear. It pulls quite well on sand and would probably pull better with larger tires. All n all the Wonder Wheeler is worth the money. Hope this has been helpful. Bill

I'm not sure if the wheels are adaptable to beach sand. It goes across my front yard with grass but the beach might have too many obstacles. Try it and it might or might not work.

I've only used it on soil, both soft and compacted. It worked just fine in both. Never took it to the beach...sorry. It locates property pins really well; my primary use.

I love it for the beach and the sand. But just make sure you lock the front wheel in place for more traction in the sand. This is my favorite stroller EVER!

It is somewhat easy to trigger accidentally. At least my elderly parents did a few times. Like trying to pull it out of their pocket by the string or when tied to their walkers if they slammed the walker down too hard,(? they almost fell or were frustrated/piss off? ;-), the weight of the unit pulled itself away from the string.

Yes the walker rolls well on any surface. I did not encounter any problems when walking.
