Garbage – I purchased one of these beach carts 1.5 years ago after wanting one so badly and I have used it once. It is so heavy and impossible to pull through the sand which is the main reason I purchased it. It’s a shame, especially considering their are many others out there at a better price point that actually work. Show details
I’m scared to use it – I bought this two years ago and have taken it out once. I’m so scared and traumatised to take it out again. It is so difficult to pull on any surface, hard to steer and very heavy. I wish I never bought it and spent my money on something else. I had a fantastic vuly trampoline (gifted to me from family, now passed onto family again) so I thought I… Read more
couldn’t go wrong. I cried on the one trip I took this out with my toddler because I was so frustrated trying to run after toddler with this wagon that was so hard to move. I want to sell it but how can I? I want to give it away but how can I? It just collects dust. The best thing about it, is the beautiful pineapple print! This product has so much potential, but the design needs a lot of improvement.

Heavy and almost impossible to use – We bought this wagon almost two years ago, to upgrade from a cheaper version we’d bought and found really useful (and based on the quality of our Vuly trampoline, which we love). We gave away the cheaper version and I regret that now. The Vuly wagon is super heavy and the wheels barely turn even on hard surfaces (let alone sand). We’ve probably… Read more
used it twice, and now it just sits in the cupboard - we don’t even feel like we’d want to give it away since it’s so hard to use. I’d give zero stars if I could.

Worst beach cart – Bought the beach cart in October 2023. Looks good and is compact however it is just not practical for use at all. It cannot be manoeuvred easily with weight in it. It is extremely difficult to push and turn and I would never take it out for it's intended use because it would make life harder. I've emailed Vuly and because it's been opened they won't accept a return. Show details

Do not take on sand – Received this as a gift. Opened up and figured the canopy was going to be too much hassle to assemble so didn’t. Took it out to the beach for the first time today - omg the design of the wheels is so poor! They don’t roll, they drag and make it 100x harder to get through the sand! The handle not being adjustable in length is ridiculous,… Read more
particularly if you’re 6”2 trying to drag this bluddy thing through sand. Looks great, easy to fold up, that’s all this thing has going for it. Form follows function Vuly, maybe take that into consideration when designing - and possibly give it to a family with toddlers to test drive. Can’t return it as it was a gift and have no receipt.
Guly Beach Cart – Bought the beach rover wagon ( sailor) Good quality. Robust. Nice finish. (Better value that a lot of other similar products.) Good delivery and receipt process. A good company with a good product. Show details · 1
Terrible customer service. Refunds not possible – Received as a gift. As we already had a beach cart we attempted to return with the receipt. Was flatly told that we were not able to receive a refund!!! What kind of customer service is this? The cart in its packaging was never opened or damaged in any way, why is a refund not possible?????

Rubbish product & customer service – We purchased a wagon a year ago. I've only used it 3 times due to covid and the rear wheel rubber wore out too quickly. I went to the warehouse for repairs, but received unfriendly and rude customer service. They said it was a discontinued model even though the same wagon was on display. They said the store had no spare parts and made no any… Read more
effort to find them in their data system. They also gave me the stupid answer to find parts myself or buy a new wagon if needed. I was really disappointed. We share with all the community we know and will never buy this brand again.

A design so poor it makes you question reality – As others have stated, the design of the canopy is so poorly conceived it makes you question how on earth this product made it to market in the first place. It really is that bad. It is a great looking cart and when the canopy is installed it does work reasonably well. The problem is, setting up the canopy is so ridiculously convoluted that you… Read more
just don't bother. It's a 2 person job and requires assembly every time (its fiddly and requires the use of small screws and tools) and there is no way to store any of the poles or screws for the canopy within the unit during transport. So they just need to come along loosely for the ride and you hope you don't lose them.
The bolts for the wheels could be a better design as well as in order for it to function properly you need to leave them loose otherwise as soon you hit sand or grass the wheels will start dragging rather than rolling.
Even though these are arguably one of the better looking wagons on the market, ultimately they are a complete waste of time. If you live on a beach and will leave it assembled 100% of the time, then and only then is it worth considering.
I'm annoyed I didn't ask for my money back straight away like others did.
Edit: Credit where credit is due - after nearly a year, Vuly contacted me and agreed to a partial refund for the product. It may be a poor product but I do appreciate the after sales service.

Absolute rubbish – The Vuly Beach wagon is absolute rubbish. I was so excited when I purchased this especially coming with the roof. When it arrived I opened it all up and honestly almost cried, to be able to use the roof you have to physically build it which means tiny screws and a spanner and no they are not in any kid of storage case. It is so impractical. I… Read more
contacted them straight away and asked to return the wagon as It would be impossible to use it as it was so inconvenient and was told no as I had opened it. HOW WOULD I HAVE KNOWN until I opened it as nowhere does it state the absolute rediculous roof and how you need to build it everytime I use it. I have a small car so it's impossible to build it before we go and not to mention if using it regularly how quickly those screws would wear out.
So a year passes and its still sitting there brand new never used so i'm like ok it's just sitting there I guess I will use it without the roof, I took it to the beach today "you know like the advertising videos" and the friken thing doesn't move on the sand!!!! I'm walking down the hill dragging this damn wagon and the friken handle snaps off !!!! It literally had towels, a bucket, a bag and a 1 year old sitting in it and it lasted 6 minutes on the beach. I am devastated I paid $150 for a piece of unusable rubbish that I am very close to throwing on the street and driving over it just to make me feel better !!!
I was going to order a heap of stuff off vuly for our vuly trampoline like the mister, speaker, tent etc. But now I'm just so devastated over this wagon that I couldn't give a crap.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY I should have just got a kmart one.

Really low quality – Really hard to install canopy and really flimsy. Faulty too. Tried to return it but could not. This is large and bulky. I can't understand how they had 5 star reviews on Trustpilot, maybe just got a bad batch.

Don’t buy can’t review on actual site – You can’t review this product on vuly site it only lets you select trampolines to review as it would be only 1 star or less and they know this. Now it makes me think they purposely deceived me into buying this so called 5 star item. Wasn’t allowed to return Worst thing I’ve ever purchased Too heavy to pull Not fit for purpose (trolley that… Read more
can’t pull and steer) pram is so much lighter. This trolley is so heavy when empty and really hard to lift in and out of car.
We left some screws in to allow for quick screwing of roof next time. Don’t do this as it scratched out tint off the brand new car!! There is no quick way. Whoever designed this clearly has no kids
Can’t build takes too long and requires two people. Also stressful if you have impatient toddlers in your car.
Do not recommend I’ve tried posting countless of reviews to warn others however keeps getting deleted
Hello Jenny, Thank you for taking the time to provide… Read more
I wish I read these reviews before I purchased it - not user friendly – If it was a cart without a roof it would get a better review. I bought this one because it had a roof. Once the roof is on you cannot fold it up to put in your car. You think the roof would be easily removable because of this, but no, you need a shifter to remove so how you get to use this without taking tools to the beach I do not know.… Read more
Considering boxing it back up and selling it. Sorry Vuly but I dont think the person who designed this spends much time taking kids to a beach.

New Beach wagon sand colour – 23/09/2022 I just received my new design beach wagon in sand colour. WOW what a disappointment! The trolly folds out well and it looks pretty, nice thick material and I’m sure it steers fine (not taking it anywhere as I want a refund). That’s about it for positives! Functional Design of this wagon was severely overlooked. The carry bag pouch for… Read more
the poles and small screws should zip closed. We will loose the tiny screws in one car trip. On the wagon there are no pockets to hold a phone, water bottle etc NOT ONE!!! no cooler bag like cheaper wagons. It is heavy, but the worst part is the canopy! The canopy is ridiculous!!! You literally have to build a tent before you can use it! It is a terrible canopy design. You have to attach 4 poles by screwing them - surely someone suggested an easy click attachment or pull up design so you don’t even have to attach the poles (like a lot of more affordable wagons). Then once you’ve spent 5 minutes attaching the poles, it’s now time to attach the tent roof! Somehow you have to manage 4 random support poles at the same time and as per instructions just “gently place” on top of the poles hahahaha has ANYONE at Vuly tried doing this by themselves? You can’t do it!!!! Let’s say magically the canopy and supports sit on the poles (which is impossible), quick find the 4 screws that you probably lost in the car! These screws would need to be done simultaneously - What a joke! It is impossible!! I’ve been trying for an hour by myself to do it as per instructions and I couldn’t do it! You don’t even have a video to watch on how to do it. There probably isn’t one because it is impossible with one person. Surely people tested this??? Even a few Velcro loops to hold the canopy supports in place like a tent would help. I honestly can’t believe how poorly Vuly have designed these wagons. They are by far the nicest looking on the market but what is the point if you can’t actually use it for its most appealing purpose (provide shade)!!! I’ve tried to leave a review to warn other unsuspecting buyers but I can’t! You can only review trampolines and accessories on the Vuly site, is this on purpose because the wagon would be 1 star?? Very very very unhappy with my $149 purchase. Please tell me there is some magical way to use this canopy and I didn’t see it in your lousy instructions?! This wagon is not suitable for a family that want to pop it in the car head to the beach get it out and get going. I called customer service for a refund of a product that isn’t functional at all to be told I can’t because the box is open and we need to look at warranty first. It was delivered this morning at 11:30am I called customer service 2 hours later. I DON’T RECOMMEND!!! There are plenty of quick assembly wagons on the market. When it comes to a beach wagon I prefer function over style any day!

Would not recommend – Initially the wagon was good. The quality does match the price paid and we were happy with it. The cover does need to be removed before packing away which is something to consider. BUT over time the wheels rapidly deteriorated. We only used it a handful of times over 12 months and it is now headed to landfill. I contacted Vuly to ask if I could purchase spare parts as they are so great at offering parts for their other products. Nope. Show details
Spoke to Vuly a second time prior to publishing. They kindly offered a replacement wagon at a… Read more
Disappointed in this product – We had high hopes for the Vuly Beach Cart however we are very disappointed after receiving it and putting it together. The reason why we purchased this specific product is because it comes with a shade roof. Once put together we soon realised that you are unable to fold down the cart with the shade roof attached. To detach the shade roof you have… Read more
to undo the 4 bolts and remove the polls. This is not user-friendly and is not explained in the description of the product. We wanted a product that we could easily put in the boot of the car and take to the beach and easily assemble however this is not the case, who would take to 4 bolts and an Allen Key to the beach? Beware of this product if you are purchasing it over other products because you want the shade roof
Hi Reon, Thank you for your feedback. Can you please… Read more
Not practical for packing/Not good return policy – Initially (see edit) Not a Happy Customer… This product is a beautiful sturdy construction and would be ideal if could be left in one piece i.e. if lived in walking distance to beach. Where it falls down is that it is not easy to fold up and pop in boot to travel to and from beach. The canopy requires you to screw in for posts then you need to… Read more
screw in four more poles that the canopy fits over then you need to screw the canopy in place. This is far to much fiddling about when you have a baby or young family in tow. My second beef is that you cannot return the unsuitable product. Only products that haven’t been opened can be returned but my problem was you couldn’t see the difficulty with it until it had been constructed. The advice from Vuly Play was perhaps I could sell it on the second hand market!!! This is one of the downfalls of buying online.
EDIT 18/01/2022 After the initial phone call to support regarding returning of rover which was not to my satisfaction and my subsequent review, I have since had a response from the Vuly Play team who reviewed my concerns around the design and have since made a refund for the product to my bank account. Thank you support team for assistance you have restored my faith in your company.
