Wonder Wheeler Review

Wonder Wheeler Review

I bought the WonderWheeler with the extra-wide rear wheels after considerable searching over 3 months on the Internet -- ironically, I got it at Costco for just $45 a couple of weeks ago, so if you're a member, check it out. When I unpacked it, I found scratches on the tubing near the lock and in 2 other places, even though the factory applies shrinkwrap to help prevent this. It was easy to assemble, although the drawings and instructions for placing the spacers and the washers on the axle weren't clear -- you have to just use common sense. It does hold a TON of items, and as other reviewers have stated, you need to be careful not to overload; 100 lbs. is a lot of weight, and I'm not convinced the cart would be manageable with that much weight. A 16- or 24-qt. cooler fits fine under the cart, and the front will hold up to 4 standard or 2 XL folding beach chairs. Have used it twice, and so far, it's holding up, although I'm skeptical about the durability of the grommets on the rear fabric storage pack after it's used numerous times with a full load. The bottom fabric holder for the top of an umbrella is located too far down the frame, and rubs on the right front wheel.

One thing you MUST remember -- and this is noted and underlined at the top of the instruction sheet: This beach cart is designed to be PULLED, not PUSHED, in the sand. PULL it, don't PUSH it. Remember, if you have a loaded cooler, it will weigh the fabric down, which will cause it to drag in the sand or on a level surface. I wouldn't even advise to push it on a boardwalk or any level surface if the front is weighed down considerably -- it just doesn't navigate well that way, even with the spring-loaded front wheels.

Super Max Wonder Wheeler

I bought this Super Max Wonder Wheeler because it was so cumbersome to haul all the supplies out whenever I'd go on a picnic or down to a parade or other event requiring chairs, blankets and umbrellas. I am a little disappointed in some of the features, but it is great to be to not struggle with gear or make multiple trips to my car.

SIZE

This Super Max Wonder Wheeler feels about the size of a large stroller. It will fit through doorways, but just barely. It folds up to the size of a large folded stroller. The wheels are very large, which make it a little cumbersome when folded.

WHEELS AND NAVIGATION

The wide plastic wheels roll smoothly over grass. I haven't tried them over sand. Over rough terrain, it is better to pull it rather than push it. The front wheels have a springy suspension that makes the rolling more smooth on hard surfaces.

STORAGE

There is a metal bar to hang beach chairs, a large mesh bag, a removable tote, small pockets near the handlebar, an area on the outside to hold a beach umbrella, and a fabric bottom for storing the cooler. Storage options are plentiful. However, the user must be careful to balance the load properly (see below).

SOME PROBLEMS

One problem I've encountered is the cart does not have a wheel lock. This had lead to my cart rolling away from me at inopportune times.

Also, the cart will tip backwards when heavier objects are placed in the removable totes without an appropriate counterbalance in the mesh bag or on the floor of the cart. It's like hanging a heavy purse off the handle of an empty umbrella stroller.

I don't use beach chairs; I use folding camping chairs and I sling the strap over the bars.Read more --

Very good product. The package did not have the removable basket when it arrived. While it took over a week to get here, it has worked fine once it arrived. This cart hold A LOT! The drawback is that because it can hold so much, you will likely try to stuff it. But when you do, it becomes very difficult to push, particularly on the beach. We load it up with chairs, an umbrella, cooler and a camera bag for my daughter's soccer game and it works great. Make sure that if you take it to the beach, don't overpack (or at least have someone strong to push).
