Loaded on the way out and a seat on the way back, this beach wagon earns its place in the trunk twice over. The cushioned bench appears once the cooler and the umbrella are unloaded, so nobody has to sit on the sand. The 6.5 in all-terrain wheels roll across sand, gravel, and snow instead of digging in, the handle rotates to whichever hand is free, and the reinforced base and metal frame carry up to 176 lbs of gear. As a folding wagon cart it collapses to 9.5 in deep with the side pockets attached, so this beach cart stores flat against a trunk wall between trips.
