Once the wagon’s transported your load, it folds up into a compact size to pack into the back of a car or a garage without taking up too much space. The dependable Ozark Trail Utility Wagon is great for tailgating, trips to the beach, camping, grocery shopping and more. With 6.7 cubic feet of internal volume, this wagon fits more stuff than any of the other beach wagons we tested—while also clocking in at a middle-of-the-road 24.5 pounds.
I live in coastal California, where wagons are often the default way to move kids, beach gear, and even school equipment around the neighborhood. It can handle up ozark trail canopy to 225 pounds of weight, which is an impressive number considering the price of the wagon. The ergonomic telescoping handle makes it easy to navigate the cart no matter what terrain you are rolling it on.
Like the Seina, our former pick for sand, the Mac Sports has a carrying capacity of up ozark trail canopy to 150 pounds. However, we think the Mac Sport’s much larger internal space—6.7 cubic feet, compared with the Seina’s 3.6 feet—is worth the higher price. Like the regular Mac Sports wagon, the Heavy Duty model comes with a one-year warranty. Because of how tightly the Mac Sports folds, it seems more compact and easy to carry than any of the other wagons we tested. When folded, the Mac Sports wagon’s dimensions are approximately 29.5 by 20 by 8 inches. It comes with a small cover, which squeezes the accordion folds together tightly and makes the wagon easier to lift and carry with the included strap.
For storage freaks who like to keep it neat and clean, we recommend looking into the Ozark Trail’s folding wagon. Crafted from durable steel and Polyester, it is perfect for hauling all of your essentials around the park, beach, or a campsite. The Oniva Collapsible Adventure Wagon’s major downside was its folding mechanism, similar to that of an umbrella, rather than an accordion, like on the others. It was extremely hard to squeeze inward and still jutted outward if not squeezed into its cover—an impossible ordeal when wrangling two kids in a parking lot. The sand-removal feature, which seemed promising, worked only partially, and many reviewers noted that the wagon’s handle was short.
I hauled both of my sons along with beach gear like boogie boards, coolers, chairs, and endless amounts of sand toys. In spring 2024, I tested three additional wagons and compared them to our previous picks, toting toys and chairs to the beach and the streets of Santa Monica. We were able to fix the problem, but a year of use has also led to scratches on the wheels and the plastic looking pretty shorn. One staffer who also owns the Mac Sports Heavy Duty Collapsible Folding All Terrain Utility Cart has also noticed scratches on the wheels. But the Seina offers just half the internal space, and its 4-inch wheels were more prone to tipping when packed with the same beach gear.
It’s a question a lot of families are asking in 2021, as the Great British Staycation gets underway. I got it online from Home Depot, but they don’t list it anymore. There is one local range that is sand and it works better than all the other wagons with the narrow wheels (they act like plows). The only downside is that the wide, hard plastic tires are very noisy.
