Wonder Wheeler
I have used this Wonder Wheeler for about four years now. Within the
first year, the wheel axle rusted completely. However, the cart
remained functional, so I chalked it up to merely a cosmetic defect. It
is wonderful for carrying a beach bag full of stuff as well as hanging
beach chairs and the like off the top bars, and while it takes effort to
roll through sand, it does indeed roll continuously -- just be sure to
tilt it so it is only on the bigger back wheels. It rolls most easily
on hard surfaces, and has been wonderful in water parks where I do not
have to rent a locker because I have this cart. It opens and closes
easily. While the weight of the beach chairs on the front bar will
cause them to slide back and compress the main compartment, the trick
here is to load the compartment first, and then hang your chairs so you
don't lose storage space. Another bonus to this is that the handle,
front bar, and opening area of the main compartment can also serve to
hang three wet towels as you move around a water park (the third towel
would get draped over the compartment opening and hang over the right
and left sides).

HOWEVER -- this is our second unit. The first
unit we had also had the axle rust quickly, and one of the big wheels
fell off the first season. This second unit has lasted longer, but
yesterday, after folding up the cart at the end of a day at Sesame
Place, one of the big wheels fell off once again. Rio should really
make a stainless steel, rustproof axle. Another improvement would be to
make the Velcro pocket on the back have a flap closure. As it is, once
anything is in the pocket, the weight of it pulls the closure open. It
would also be nice if there was a wheel lock feature, like on a
stroller, to keep the cart from rolling down slopes. I wish Graco would
makes something like this, because I bet it would be of much better
quality if they did.
