It's a great cart for carrying the kids around places like the zoo. We tried taking the cart to the beach and found we needed two adults to move it across the sand- one pushing and one pulling. WORD OF CAUTION: Be sure to balance the load in the cart and the basket attachment. The cart will tip backwards if all the load is in the back. The cart is not padded so we added a pillow for the kids to sit on. The canopy is a nice addition and helped shade the kids from the glaring FL sun.
