We are planning to take our 3 and 1 year old to the beach soon. I was wondering if taking the wagon with a canapy is a better choice then the jogging stroller. We will be going on the boardwalk too. Has anyone taken a wagon to the beach? Was it a headache?
no but last summer at the beach we saw many people with these carts with huge wheels. looks extremely to push. check it out on beachstore.com
also if your going to use a wagon make sure the wheels are bigger
I don't take a wagon or a stroller to the beach. When my youngest was still one, I would put her in the Ergo baby backpack (if we were going to be walking more than she could handle by herself). That way, my hands were still free for our beach bag and, depending on the day and beach, a little umbrella/a full sized shovel.
For the boardwalk, I use a double jogging stroller. It's nice to have the kids in front of me where I can see them and am using both arms to push (my back hurts when I pull with one side only).
Wagon is great if it has the wide tires, otherwise it's a pain!
Speaking from my son's experience with coolers a wagon just won't work. You need big, as in diameter, wheels or else they will get stuck in the sand. My old jogging stroller would work though. I know because his special cooler he bought and took this year had the same kind of wheels.
