We have a son with special needs who has outgrown most traditional strollers and he's not quite needing a wheelchair, but he still needs a way to sit and be pushed and be safe while in public. We purchased this to take with us on vacation to the beach and we were so happy we did! It took a while to put it together and figure it out, but once we did it was actually pretty simple to fold up and transport. It's a little larger than most fold-up wagons but the canopy is GREAT for kids and dogs you want to tote around in the sun. The added bonus of the basket for carrying your purse or diaperbag, and then the strap which keeps your little one seated in the wagon while you push or pull is AWESOME! the wheels worked pretty well even in soft sand, and the push option made it perfect for two people to assist in getting it through the deeper sand. On packed sand it was super easy to maneuver. I wish the bottom of the wagon was a bit more padded, but that was easily fixed with a couple of beach towels. My little guy felt secure and happy being toted around in this great wagon.
