Folding wagons: Mac versus Ozark Trail

[@Julian-lw4tu]

Thank you. I see the Ozark right now on sale for 49$ at Walmart your video answered a lot of my questions. It's KZbinrs like you that make all our lives a bit more informed and a bit easier, thanks again.

[@KD-eq4xi]

Yeah! Great video, but was wondering about the prop65 warning on them? I was gonna purchase but then I saw that it is made with chemicals that cause cancer...

[@RosieRoserules]

Mine too

[@Caoexpeditions]

I live at the beach, these types of reviews are critical, lol. We carry a lot of stuff often and durability/utility is of utmost importance. Thank you sir for this great evaluation and review.

[@momentumcamera2411]

you should probably get there double decker if youre hauling that much stuff www.amazon.com/dp/B079TCDHDY

[@ElenaHaskins]

Thank you so much for this product comparison video. I bought the Macs and after watching your video am now ready to try the Ozark Trail wagon with the greater carrying capacity. These folding wagons are so useful. I have one in my office for boxes of project files, etc..

[@Erovr]

Elena Haskins Hi Elena my name is Elvis H. Before buying another wagon check my website at www.erovr.com and take a look at my new folding wagon invention. You can check a video on my youtube channel also! Let me know what do you think! Take care!

[@RissAndCo]

EROVR USA we've seen your product and love it!!! It's just on the pricey side!

[@smithmal01]

@@Erovr Is this available any more? What the price for the base level wagon?

[@tryingveganwithmario]

This is great, I just decided to get the Ozark after watching this. I need a wagon to move cooking supplies around at food festivals, it's heavy stuff so I need the better weight capacity. I'll also see how the wheels do in grass. Thanks for the video!

[@captainmalibu43]

are the wheels plastic, rubber, or rubber coated plastic?

Moothing wagons is good ,I have one

[@loravescova5178]

Excellent comparison

[@brianinsocal1]

I have the Mac. Wanted the bigger handle. I have put my 25 pd dog in this cart along with water, blankets etc. Been using this for hiking on dirt trails (some rough) for about a year. Never had a problem. Steers great for me.

Thanks for the video it was very helpful

[@workliferecognition7002]

Thanks for the comparison. Was looking just for that. Looking for an elderly friend who could use 1 that would be easy to learn and handle but strong enough to carry food in.

[@victoriasofitel6989]

Thank you for posting the comparison! I had never heard of the Ozark Trail brand and it seems like a better buy, especially after your side by side review.

[@CM-pm5id]

I think both are good choices... but we thought the Ozark Trail was just a little better for our needs. Good luck!

[@cre8tivity06]

I have the Ozark Trail wagon that I use everyday hauling my TV News gear around. I like it so much I have inspired many of my co-workers to get them for their gear. Only thing I do not like is I cannot swap out the wheels! I use mine so much that that I have completely worn down the back wheels that don't swivel. One of the back wheels has a huge hole in it but I still continue to use the wagon lol. I may have to contact the company that makes the wagon to see if they can tell me how I can remove and replace the wheels. If you have any suggestions, please share. The wheels are held in place by a cotter pin.

[@Windjammers1]

Can you hook up one of these behind a wheelchair and still be able to push it? My mom is in a wheelchair, and whenever we go shopping, I can only get what I can place in a reusable bag that I loop over the handles of the chair. If I could get a wagon to pull behind the chair while I'm pushing it and it not get in the way of my feet, that would be great.

[@Morid13Rocks]

I was just checking out the Ozark reviews in Walmart and one guy claims to use it while riding in his chair/scooter so I'd assume you probably could!

[@Windjammers1]

@@Morid13Rocks But you have to push a wheelchair, so there needs to be enough room between the chair and the cart for a caregiver.

@@Windjammers1 I missed the push it part of your question-was totally thinking of an electric chair.

[@gnostie]

I've never had one of these and am thinking of getting one. Can you only pull it, or pushing is also possible? How much weight do they take? Are they easy to drive for long distances on pavement? Thanks in advance to all who respond with information.

[@beulahverdell]

Thank you!

[@vknoun]

I had an OZARK like that and it handled the weight very well. I did find the wheels to be less than desired. That black part is only a covering and when I rolled it I noticed the wheel cut into it. Needless to say, the black covering didn't last long and once that was done the integrity of the wheel in no way facilitated rolling for long. I only had it for less than a month. They should make one with steel or aluminum wheels and have the wheel smooth so it won't cut into the "rubber" covering if they can't make one with a solid rubber covering. That would make a very good product if they want to advertise 225 pds capacity.

[@Josecln]

will these hold up for grocery shopping u think as the local grocery store is like 5 blocks away and i do not own a car

[@CM-pm5id]

+Harry Colón We haven't used it for this sort of thing... we typically use it for carting things to outdoor movie nights, ballgames, outdoor concerts, etc. & typically load in blankets, folding chairs, small cooler & snacks, etc. Granted it's not a lot of weight, but it works just fine for this. As I note in my review, the capacity of the wagons is quite good. That said, I wouldn't see why this couldn't be used for trucking groceries back from the store (as long as you don't exceed their capacity estimates). Please note that... while we aren't complaining about the steering, there are some here who have complained about it. You might want to check it out in-store to see if it's to your liking. If you have it at a Walmart with a supermarket inside, you might even load it up with some groceries & give it a test run around the store to see how you like it! Hopefully, with the full circle handle they have on the newest ones it will fit the bill for you. Best of luck with whatever you choose!

[@Josecln]

+CM102 oh ok thank you for your reply it helped me alot i'll take your advice and go to the store for a test drive kind like going to the auto dealer haha love it hope they let me open the box and load it up with stuff but if they don't i'll just pay for the cart first then load it that way if it breaks in store they have cameras and would def help me on returns smart thanks again for the advice

[@ann-mariewright4597]

Does the middle go down? Mine won’t go down.

[@elizabethterra5094]

Thank you helped my decision...bought the Ozark

[@CM-pm5id]

***** About a year in-- and admittedly quite 'light' use-- our wagon still works fine!

[@marchills4131]

Nice compario. Seems like the Ozark's heavier weight goes hand in hand with it's slightly heavier duty feel and load-carrying capacity.

[@shh24368]

Looks like Ozark have not only added a better handle but also multiple side pockets.

[@curli-lettey4319]

That's the Mac you're talking about.

[@lynettebell8534]

can the wheels be replaced if bent

[@tracipetraglia3927]

Does the handle move down, or does it stay straight up.

[@dr.anthonyforgione4253]

Traci Petraglia The handle detaches away from the frame, at least I’m certain it does on the newest model. Maybe the handles of the wagons in this video actually detach and move out and down, and the author of the video doesn’t know this -? If the handles of these wagons in the video are permanently fixed in an upright position to the frame, any use of these wagons would be quite annoying.

[@christinanapier5527]

I have the ozark and watched the video cause I could not figure out the handle. Lol thank you

[@sandrawheeler8304]

How do you attach it to a mobility scooter with a jvc hitch?

[@douglasharrislane2748]

You said it flash up BUT how? I lost my instructions

[@KiKisWorld777]

Do the handles angle forward for pulling a child?

[@CM-pm5id]

Not sure what you mean-- could you clarify? The bar is a solid bar that pivots up & down from it's connection point near the wheels. Other than that, it doesn't angle.

[@sharondemayo2615]

I had the same question. I watched another video. They showed that the handle does pop away from the Ozark body frame, and angles forward for pulling. The newer Ozark model has a closed handle and it pivots to the left and right, slightly, at the base of the handle. The Mac also pops away from the body frame and angles for pulling. handles do not stay straight up and down, locked to the body. It just locks to the body frame in that straight up and down position for storage and security. I hope this helps!

[@KiKisWorld777]

Thanks. :)

[@djbluegill734]

+PlayRight yes the Ozark one angles forward. I bought it the other day. Great buy

[@workliferecognition7002]

So basically ozark trails is better quality. But mac has easier handling and pockets. Guess it comes down to what fits for you better.

where do I get parts from

[@iamcryptodad]

How much they weight? Ozark & Mac...Thanks

[@CM-pm5id]

The product descriptions say the SHIPPING weights are as follows: Mac= 22.48 pounds and the Ozark Trail= 25.8 pounds.

[@stevenoneill1220]

The Mac handle obviously folded down but you didn't cover that. Weird how the Ozark stays straight up like that. I prefer the fold down design of the Mac but I like the Ozark better otherwise.

[@savage_tree_turtle9482]

Good review

[@mspamela2008]

Now that you've had a chance to use them, which one would you recommend more?

[@CM-pm5id]

I had brought both these wagons home when we were deciding which to get, but we did not keep both. They were both good, but we chose the Ozark Trail... so I can only speak to this one. Although we don't use it all that often, it's been good for us. We used it this weekend to carry various items- including a cooler filled with ice- down to a pavilion for my son's birthday. It worked just fine!

[@bluejay2go]

Hi every one, I bought the Mac today at Sam's to take to the beach. Well it fails on the sand. I took it to my neighborhood volleyball court to try it out and didn't do the job. The tires are too narrow and they just sink into the sand making it difficult to turn or move, I had about 80lbs of weight on it, maybe if you just put in some light sport equipment it might do ok. Going back to Sam's.

[@frosty3825]

+bluejay2go good to know. thanks.. sort of disappointing since i want one specifically for the beach

[@bluejay2go]

+Ivory Louden I ended up buying this one from Amazon. It worked perfectly on the beach, the big tires make the difference. It's a little more expensive but it's worth it. Sandusky Lee FCW5424 Heavy Duty Folding Wagon

[@mudkipsinspace3074]

One look at the width of the tires, and you gotta figure with even half the capacity weight in it, it's going to sink in the sand ;-). Roll the wagon onto one of those cheap plastic toboggans and drag it across the sand that way.

[@nelsonchampine258]

Look for the "All Terrain" version, bigger tires and more suitable for sand. This one would be a great pier cart.

Does anyone know if the Ozark bottom frame latches all the way down when unfolding it like a pack n play or it only goes down with the weight you put on?

the sturdier the material feels the weaker it is. The thinnest stuff is polyethylene and it is used it bulletproof vests.

[@rudipopovich7760]

I agree with previous reviewer. What is the point having the wagon when I cannot pull it behind me. Very dificult to steer it. It zig zag's all over the place. This is designed very poorly. I'm not even using it. I only used it once and never again. My wife pissed way money and the wagon is sitting on the top of the garage, retired with other junk.

[@kalyskanbayalieva5646]

для чего?

[@nonerz]

I've purchased 2 Mac wagons - the first one I had to exchange for a new one because the wheel fell off within the first 2 weeks of using it. The second one I got lasted longer, about a year, but the wheel came off that one too. I've used it a lot for hauling softball gear, ez up, equipment and more. I really need it and just bought another one similar to it, the Creative Outdoor Distributor Collapsible Wagon - only because it was $20 cheaper than the Mac at Dick's Sporting Goods. I just wish they made it sturdier so it wouldn't keep breaking!! www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=34683346

[@CM-pm5id]

Our use of the Ozark Trail wagon is rather 'light,' so I'm not sure how well it would do under heavier use. That said, when I had the Mac and Ozark Trail wagons side by side, it did appear that the Ozark Trail might be a bit more durable. When I say 'more durable,' I mean that the fabric looked & felt stronger and-- as I recall-- the frame appeared to be stronger too. Now, I don't know how strong the wheel is attached to the wagon-- and I don't recall that the wheel attachment was any better on one wagon over the other. Hope the latest Mac you bought is holding up well!

[@stephenskinner4143]

Not having the handle attached to an axle for steerage is the biggest drawback to these wagons. i have the Mac and have an impossible time pulling the cart behind me the handle pulled away from the frame. It wanders all over the place. That makes them impractical to use in areas where there are other people around (I bump a lot of people with the zig zag course it makes).

[@CM-pm5id]

kobun37 Our experience is that it doesn't really zig-zag. Granted- it doesn't handle like a sportscar, but it seems to work fine and-- as you say-- 'it doesn't wander.' It does the job for us.
