I purchased this deluxe model for a beach trip in June '05. My husband was going to be tied up in meetings all day, and I was going to have my 5-year-old and my 4-month-old by myself to take on to the beach. This cart saved the day! I go to the beach numerous times each year, and even without kids I've had to drag so much stuff out to the beach. With this cart, I was able to load three beach chairs, a cooler, two beach bags, beach toys, food, pop-up tent, baby-carrier, and other things with room to spare! I was then able to push it one-handed with a 4-month-old in my arms from the hotel room to the beach. It was so light! It rolled perfectly on the sand as well. We liked it so much that we are buying one for my parents for Christmas (they have a place at the beach). I don't know how I went to the beach all these years without one!

I gave this to my niece for Mother's day and upgraded the wheels as a gift to her husband on Father's day. It is a necessary carry all if you have a young child and lots of stuff, but the wheel conversion was an absolute must to go through the soft sand at Jax Beach.

I just bought one for the season because I was planning on taking day trips to the shore. Boy! did this item make my life easier...you know how much stuff you end up taking to the beach and with kids in tow. This is the best invention since sliced bread! I would have paid double the price. Buy one! You will not regret it!

We bought this to replace an older Wonder Wheeler Cart that had seen better days. We inadvertently bought the smaller one and now wish that we had purchased the larger one.

Don't get me wrong ... this one can haul plenty of stuff but sometimes our stuff is more bulky and would fit better on the larger version.

Although I get a free collapsible luggage cart to haul work items from work to clients when I do a class, most of us have purchased the wonder wheeler to haul all our stuff instead after seeing it in use. The bag doesn't have to go across the whole frame. You can hang it in back and put items in that and stack boxes, crates, all kinds of things onto the cart...

the difference between this and a regular luggage cart is nothing falls off! You don't have to tilt it back and keep it balanced right to move...just push! It folds away in the car and makes lugging anything around a breeze.

We had problems with the wheels falling off the lesser model, so I advise to get the wonder wheeler "plus" (this one) if you will be using it much. This works well on sand or city streets and sidewalks and is far more sturdy than the regular wonder wheeler. I don't even know where you could use those well because from what I hear they dont work well in sand and we wore out the wheels on the sidewalks. We have had no problems with this model though.

We also use this for neighborhood parties...just stack the chairs we are bringing on the front and put our food items we are bringing in the cart and zip it down the street.

My mom lives in walking distance of a grocery store and gets her walk in adn rolls the groceries easily right into the house after shopping!

Also great at farmers markets

Conclusion: At the time of this review this wonder wheeler had free shipping, and no tax with ordering through Amazon which made it a great price for us. We love this model but we do not recommend the plain wonder wheeler. The wheels on this one are far more sturdy than the "play babydoll carriage wheels" the other one seems to have on it. Makes hauling anything far easier than on a cart you have to tilt and goes over curbs much easier.

It used to be that, whenever we got to the beach, we would have the family line up and assign portions of the "load" to take to our "site." "You take this chair, and this bucket; you take this chair, and the cooler, I'll take this chair, the boogey board, and the beach basket." NO MORE! This cart lets us put EVERYTHING in one place, and haul it out to the beach from the parking lot, and I do mean EVERYTHING. We get three chairs, plus umbrella, plus beach bag, plus beach cooler, plus boogey board, all on the cart and it makes the trek to the sand so much easier. To be sure, it's not perfect. Anytime you put a wheeled vehicle on sand, it's going to be a bit difficult to manuever. However, the oversize wheels, which is what you get on the plus model, makes it a bit easier to wheel/drag across the sand. Yes, the wheels do drag a little bit, but that's what happens in sand. Overall, the cart makes it so much easier to get where you're going, it is well worth the purchase price.

This product is very useful. I have two kids and when we go to the beach we carry everything with us so it becomes very helpful, the only thing it becomes very hard to drag on the beach. But I must say it I love it and you need someone strong to carry it on the beach for you, if not don't make it so heavy.

Never happier with a purchase! It's well made, looks good & does everything it claims. No more struggling with all the beach gear! Folds up & opens with great ease. Don't hestitate a moment to purchase this. I did some comparison shopping with similar carts & this is by far the best deal around. The first one I looked at was twenty dollars more & didn't have the front pivoting wheels. The shipment was also very quick.

This cart is great! It is amazing how much stuff we can put in it and travel to & fro the beach with ease. Couldn't imagine trying to haul everything without it! Many thanks!!!

Liked the ease of use. Capacity to carry stuff is good, but have problem with wheel fitting and not coming off.
