During the coldest winter days, many people dream about spending a relaxing day at the beach or by the lake. But before you can sit under your umbrella or dip your toes in the water, you must first get all of your essentials onto the sand. Having to make multiple trips between your house or car and your sandy camp for the day is a hassle, so shoppers turn to easy-to-use wagons—and this popular choice is on sale for $50 off.

The Vivosun collapsible wagon weighs about 24 pounds and has a heavy-duty design. The frame of the wagon is made from metal, and the fabric is a mixture of PVC and a thicker Oxford fabric. It's waterproof, tear resistant, and easy to wipe clean. The beach cart measures 32.2 by 21.65 by 14.96 inches when it's open, and, when folded, it collapses to such a compact size that you can carry it with one hand. It even has two cup holders and an adjustable handle for added convenience.

Most important, its durable features mean it can hold a lot: It has a capacity of just over 176 pounds, so you can add an umbrella, chairs, cooler, toys, and more without worrying about overloading it. Plus, the wheels rotate 360 degrees, so you can easily pull the wagon on uneven terrain like grass, sand, and gravel. And it has more than 5,700 five-star ratings and hundreds of positive reviews to back it up.

"Best purchase of the summer," wrote one five-star reviewer who said "it fits anywhere" when it's folded up. They added,"It's durable, has great wheels, and holds so much!" Another shopper whose young kids even like to ride in the wagon said, "We can fit all of our stuff for the pool—a small cooler, 5 towels, and 3 chairs—with no problem."

"The best collapsible wagon for any project you may have to do—grocery shopping or going to the park or hanging out on the beach," added another reviewer. They also said they found the beach cart handy when they were hauling items into a storage space.

Whether you're gardening, lugging groceries, or packing up for a fun day in the sun, the Vivosun folding wagon is up to the task. For only $110 while it's double-discounted, you can experience it for yourself and enjoy a more hands-free summer.
