Beach Wagon vs. Beach Cart (with Balloon Wheels)

I compare the CRESTWALKER Beach Cart with 13" Balloon Wheels with the MacSports All Terrain Beach Wagon with Side Table in this riveting review video.

I’m no professional engineer but I don’t understand why in this day and age that anyone would design then make a rugged terrain cart with such a narrow wheel base as the ones that fell over!

We had a Mac cart for years and it worked well. I got used to the packing methods. It rusted in a flood so see scrapped it, only to replace with an inferior brand from a big box store. We also have an upright cart with the smaller wheels. I think it’s a Rio from 10 years ago. In my experience, anything with the gray balloon wheels is the only real solution for soft sand.

I have had two beach wagons. Gave my old one to a friend after nearly a decade bc I upgraded to the one with the built in table. I'm a smallish woman so for me once I load up that beast it's so heavy I have no choice but to go slow. I have yet to have the tipping issue you showed but I also have a Rio backpack chair so my heavy laod is never high.

I do wish it came with some sort of side straps to haul long umbrellas on each side bc otherwise you have the umbrella sticking up at an angle.

The wagon is extremely useful for hauling firewood for beach bonfires. And I've found my dogs love to dig themselves under the shade it creates.

I like the cart w/ inflatable wheels . It was clearly the winner .

I tried this idea a few years ago with a kind of improvised set of wheels from a D.I.Y store.
In fairness it wasn't designed for a beach but the idea was the same.
It was indeed a total disaster trying to walk over a golf course with single sandy footpaths & over grown prickly bushes in some places?
I ended up giving it away to the owner of the camp site that I used to stay on.
The 2 you have reviewed are obviously designed for the job at ✋️ hand.
But if I was to choose one it would definitely be the pump up wheel buggy 😂🪁🎊🥎 great review though 👍 👌

I find your videos hilarious! I love my Rio Wonder wheeler. I am (sadly) a day tripper so it only goes to the beach a few times a year but it has lasted (I think) 15 or more years!

We have a seykey beach cart with all terrain wheels and while I like it a lot, it's very difficult to pull through soft sand when it's full. It basically just sinks into the sand and the wheels don't actually roll. I end up just dragging it through

[cindykasprzak]

I had the same problem with the beach wagon. It kept tipping. I took it back several days after I bought it.

Thank you for your videos!! We just got a new beach cabana & we chose one based on all your reviews🎉 We love it 👍☀🙂

We have the RIO Wonder Wheeler cart and really like it. It looks like they've improved the tote bag with it and I've seen a conversion kit to change out the wheels to the balloon wheels. I would definitely purchase the Wonder Wheeler again. You've got a great channel. Getting alot of ideas for beach gear.

I love my beach wagon!!! ❤ Andcyeah it’s kinda hard to pull plug not packed right or over packed! I use bungee cords 😻

The ballon wheels are a game changer, I can pull my 38kg sea scooter with ease now compared to a solid wheel beach cart that was usually a two person operation

I'll be dragging my Mac beach wagon on to Sanibel Island today. It's like pulling a corpse on the sand (don't ask me how I know). I'm usually out of breath by the time we reach our spot. Gotta buy the Crestwalker. And you are correct, ignore their advice to load heavier items in the rear. When I do that, the front wheels are usually off the ground when pulling.

[mynamedoesntsayanything]

Thank you for this review it really helped me make a choice on which one to get

[rabbi]

This one looks awesome. I’m just wondering how often I’ll have to put air in those tires. The plastic wheels are grab and go every time.

[Utubeisazzho]

I’ve got the heavy steel bote mule cart. Added custom racks it weighs a ton two people pull often but it’s a beast!

[DNTsmokeCRACK]

I know they’re expensive but I’d love to see you review a big kahuna cart and a phoenix beach buggy cart. Love the content and trust your reviews. I’m torn between the two and haven’t found any thorough reviews. For reference I beach on soft sand multiple times a week from may - October, weather permitting, with kids. Hence the need to max capacity

[mikebreazeale]

You need to look at the Creative Outdoor wagons...a great little wagon that will beat that one all to hell...

[ConnieAR]

I'm looking at two 2-wheel carts right now, both with balloon tires. Any reviews or comparative info on "My Beach Cart" vs "Wheeleez?" Both in the $300 range. Need to easily go over soft stand and also be able to wheel a few blocks on sidewalks and go down beach steps without destroying the tires. Thanks!

[IcanCwhatUsay]

One of these days I'll convince you to do a quest wagon vs quest cart comparison (both are at DICKs) but this is close enough to that ;)

Great video! Thanks for posting!
