This is our 2nd Rio Beach cart and I have high hopes! Our first was purchased 10 years ago and while still in working order, it's taken a beating over the years and the time was right to replace it. I was so pleased with the longevity, convenience, and portability of the first cart, I was definitely looking to get the same again. The cart arrived packaged tight with some minor assembly required. It took all of 3 minutes to install the wheels and no tools are required so needless to say, initial setup was a breeze. They made a few changes to the updated cart which I will point out in this review. First are the wheels - previous versions were rubberized 2.5 inch wide wheels in the back which worked fine albeit a bit more difficult to pull through sand. These are now much wider hard plastic wheels which admittedly, I've yet to use but have seen them in use on beaches and it looks much easier to pull. The front wheels remain as before and pivot 360 degrees. This is very convenient when rolling through a hotel / boardwalk as the cart handles like a child's stroller. Folding and unfolding is a breeze with spring-loaded handles on the sides that simply click on knobs when open for a VERY secure tight fit. Once open you have storage on the bottom under the mesh lining as well as the mesh portion itself. We typically put our heavy beach bag/cooler under the mesh bag and any other bags etch in the mesh bag resting on the cooler/bags. Depending on what you are used to, this could be a pro or a con. The new cart comes with a tough removable 'beach bag' now that simply rests on grommets in the handle. This bad is that it takes up some space from the mesh compartment. For example, we used to be able to fit a 42" boogie board in the mesh compartment on an angle but that will no longer be the case. That being said, I really like the bag and it's multiple pockets. It can easily stay on the cart or be taken off and ultimately, I think I will like this feature more. The second addition is the side strap and pocket for umbrellas. Personally, we don't use this but it's definitely a nice addition. A shovel can easily be strapped in or any other similar shaped beach tool you are looking to bring. We have two very large beach chairs which include footrests and pillows and they easily fit on the end bar and carry very well when pulling on the beach. If you go often, I absolutely would recommend this cart!

We bought this 4 years ago for our summer beach trips and we are so incredibly happy with it!If it broke tomorrow, we'd buy a new one immediately. It's 2-3 of us at a time. It packs ALL of our beach things with room to spare. One year we were 3 adults and 2 kids...5 beach chairs plus toys and beach towels and a cooler bag with ice in it...it held it all.On a hard surface, you push it like a stroller. Once you get to sand, you turn it around and pull it behind you, tipped up on the larger wheels. Goes through loose, dry sand just as well as compacted wet sand.It's got a clip to hold the beach umbrella on the side of it. It folds up well. We still have the cooler bag for it but we don't use it. We have smaller cooler bags that work better for the 2 of us.I cannot stress it enough that this is the way to go. Yes, it's bigger than a wagon. We went the wagon route 1st and it was TERRIBLE! We had to walk half bent over to pull it cause the handles were so low, the wagons don't hold as much (thinking about the chairs in particular) and once you hit sand, you need 2 people to lift the wagon up and carry it because no matter what they say, those wagons don't run over sand.Buy this cart. It is a life changer for the beach trips. We are NEVER going back.

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.
