With 28 pounds (13 kg) it is quite heavy, but it comes with the best transport box, which covers the wheels completely, ideal to minimize dirt in the car, but also to facilitate lifting and cleaner stowage. Look closely and you will also find a couple of hidden water holders, although we would have appreciated some external storage options more similar to those of Timber Ridge.
In addition to the sand race, the alpaca worked well, and is the most versatile if you do not have a large log. It is expensive compared to many options on Amazon, but there are not many of them backed by a life guarantee.
A budget giant: Timber Ridge Folding Wagon
Light, agile and definitely affordable, this folding car of $ 80 and 135 liters has, as of August 2025, 2,768 reviews (average of 4.5 stars) in Amazon, which makes it one of the most popular options and received on the Internet. There are a couple of insignificant differences between the US models and the United Kingdom (we tried the United Kingdom option), so they are essentially the same car of one of the most important names in the equipment outdoors.
Like Gregory, this car has hard plastic wheels. In this case, 7.5 inches in diameter and 3.4 inches wide. And they also stuck in the deepest sand and made a great effort to pull the cart loaded uphill, but the two front wheels did not cross the sand as significantly.
We struggled to climb the car loaded by the dunes, but it was agile on firmer sand and other surfaces. And despite the least capacity, we only lost an article during the counterreloj, thanks mainly to the side pockets. We were able to put towels, water bottles, sandals and even a giant shuttlecock in them safely.
Timber Ridge Wagon is as easy to assemble as the business and pleasure and Gregory cars, but it is a bit rickety, especially if it carries a heavy load on firm and unequal terrain. The mango also gives its low price, as well as the maximum slightly lower capacity of 220 pounds (100 kg).
Paste and small, although the roof is not as practical as the one in the Gregory, which covers the wheels and, therefore, protects its trunk. However, there is a practical belt loop at the base, which means that the fabric cover remains safely in a position.
Wired was happy with the quality of this budget beach car, and we hope it will last for years, since we are tired of seeing many similar designs, although broken, discarded at the end of a festival weekend.
THE BEST FOR THE GRAM: BUSINESS & PLEASURE BEACH CARD
Available in a collection of attractive colors of fabric (I think Cape Cod meets Côte d’Azur), the business and pleasure beach cart definitely seeks to be in the “influencer” area. It looks good, replacing the usual resistant polyester with smooth and subtle umbrellas. However, beautiful costs, and $ 399 feels expensive so it is essentially a folding beach car with a face washing.
A load capacity of 70 pounds (32 kg) is also scarce compared to the competition, especially given the high downloaded weight, and the metal frame is shaken a little for a premium price product, especially on the unequal terrain. On the other side of the sand, the extra large wheels do a great job, and it was the second fastest car in the test. Yes, a couple of articles scared during the race, but that could have more to do with the packer than the car.
