Rio Beach Wonder Wheeler Wide Beach Cart

This thing can carry a bunch of gear down to the beach. You can load the chairs upside down on the front. There’s a spot for a surf fishing rod on the right side. You just have to be careful with the equipment if you are in transit because it may bend if that’s all good, you got a very solid product out of your hands.

This cart is by no means a heavy duty piece of equipment but it is adequate to carry a lot of stuff to and from the beach. Folds for easy transport, has a detachable bag, another large mess bag for smaller items and is designed to hang chairs on the front. Even includes an umbrella holder on the side. I bought this because I have two young kids and wanted an easier way to carry our stuff. I transported the following items 400 ft from the house to the beach in one trip daily: Large umbrella, tent, two soft coolers, diaper bag, 2 beach bags, portable stereo, kite, football, 2 regular and 1 kids beach chairs, towels, and a small raft. I might have forgotten something but you get the idea. It holds a lot of stuff and the large wheels make the trip over the sand much easier (pull it backwards behind you, won't push forward through sand), Although it's still a workout to pull it fully loaded, it's much easier than than having several people drag all this stuff and even worse, making 2 or more trips YOURSELF to set up your beach spot for the day. I was able to carry everything and let my wife hold the baby and tend to our 3 year old. I got several comments from other beach folks who were amazed I got our whole "beach camp" on that one cart. I question the construction, might fall apart after a couple of vacations. But it is light, so I guess thats the tradeoff. But if it lasts two seasons I'll be happy and gladly buy another one.

My large family owns a beach home a block away from the beach in Maine and we lug a lot of stuff for a day at the beach. We've used a Wonder Wheeler for the last 6 years and have found it tremendously helpful. The metal support bar that connects the back frame together finally rusted off and I went looking for a replacement. What has improved in the last six years? - The back wheels are wider and easier to turn and to drag over the sand. However, they are plastic compared to the old rubber ones so it sounds like a Big Wheel going over asphalt. -- There is a useful bag-like attachment that goes in the otherwise wasted space under the handle. We put 6 towels in there. The bag has smaller outside pockets that are perfect for shells the kids collect or for sunglasses/phones/etc. -- The frame feels more substantial. There is less sway to the cart. -- The front bar seems a tad longer and slanted more, which allows us to load one more chair (total of five) on the front. Why did I take away a star? -- The top metal frame that opens to the mesh area is smaller than on the old Wonder Wheeler, which doesn't allow us to put our hand-held Igloo cooler in. We now have to lug that heavy cooler by hand. -- The handle only has padding in the center 6 inches, whereas the old model had padding stretched across the entire length of the handle. The new one just doesn't make sense. To push the cart in a straight line, you need to have your hands on the far left and far right of the handle. If you were to keep your hands on the padding, you wouldn't be able to steer the cart. Overall 4 stars. A quality purchase that is a great help to our summer beach time.

I've had my Rio for a couple of weeks and had the opportunity to use it last weekend. I live along the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast and the beaches down here are wide and covered with deep sugar fine (white) sand. The beaches down here are some of the most beautiful in the world, but a challenge to walk across carrying your entire beach going paraphernalia. I loaded up my Rio with a medium cooler (52 quart I think) filled, two beach chairs, umbrella, towels, beach blanket, etc., etc. All total around 70 to 80 pounds. The Rio worked flawlessly. I did have to pull it, I did have to tilt it back to the two back wheels, all of which the instructions tell you to do. It did require work to pull it through the sand, but the large rear wheels made the job much easier. This coming from someone who has carried all the afore mentioned gear by hand across the beach on many, many occasions this cart is worth every penny. It is well made, easy to assemble, and folds easily (so easily you want to make sure you know where your fingers are before you start the process). The only fault I've found with the cart is the removable tote bag. The bag has two flaps with sewn on pouches for small items (sunglasses, sunscreen, cell phone, etc). These pouches started coming un-sewn as I was taking the bag out of the box (I'm not kidding on this). If this is the only fault I find with the cart, I can live with it.

Great beach wheeler, holds a lot, good quality!

Très pratique. On i met tout notre matériel de plage: 2 parasols. 3 gants de baseball. Une pelle un sceau. Set de Bocci très lourd...3 chaises de plages 2 pallet de plage. 2 encrage de plage 2 ballons 1 sac glacière assez lourd...sac de plage autres. Roues avant encore correct mais semble un peu fragile. Roues arrière super dans le sable ça roule bien. Le filet correct.

MUY PRACTICO SEGURO Y GENIAL

Es más débil de lo que se muestra en la fotografía. No carga lo que muestra al deslizarse en la arena

C’était pour les vacances au bord de la mer et on a adoré ce chariot! Facile pour circuler dans le sable!
