Thought this was the best forum to post this with the most varied knowledge. Looking for recommendations for a fold up pull along trolley type thing. The summer season is approaching with family days out steam fairs, heritage days etc and we want to ditch the pram for one of these. Dump both kids in and all the other parephinallia you end up taking. Would like a simple sturdy one, no top shade needed. Also bigger wheels is better for us as mostly pulling over fields. Any suggestions? Thanks

My wife bought a metal one for attending music festivals which proved invaluable getting her stuff from her car or coach, and to her glamping pod etc. however whilst it folded it was still bulky, heavy and cumbersome getting it in/out of the car.

I’d go with one that’s lightweight, foldable and wher the wheels are easily removed for storage

We used one in oz that had metal frame with fabric cover and it folded in on itself leaving just the 4 wheels and handle. Ended up similar size folded up to a pram. Probably 900mm x 500mm when set up

Decathlon do a decent one with chunky wheels, we use it for lugging the stuff to the spot for our Lifeboat collections and it caries for more than it's design weight ... Held up well so far.
Edit to add if folds up as well and as a waterproof top cover.

We bought this one recently, but it's mainly to cart things back and forth to the car when my wife does the occasional market stall type of thing.

It seems pretty rugged, folds down quickly and easily to a fairly compact size. However, I'd find it too cumbersome to pull around all day if I was wandering around somewhere.

We've got an Outwell one which has seen use at many a local festival, camping trips and even for my son when he goes fishing with his mates....very robust and useful, but equally quite heavy and not at all small when packed up/stored. Takes up a big old chunk of space in the (my) shed, grrrr.

I saw quite a few of these at Oulton Park at a "family fun day" the other month.

Highly annoying, especially in busy areas, saw countless people run them into display stands, into other people including one being dragged down the side of a car which led to quite the altercation.

Ours is green but looks the same as the pic.

We bought a Portal branded on from Amazon for dragging around this fluffy idiot when he decides he can't be bothered to use his legs anymore. Wasn't cheap, but seems really well made and we needed something big enough for him to lie down in. It can hold over 100kg so you can easily drag a grown man around if need be, plus you can fold down the rear "ramp" and hold another 30kg on that

Slight diversion, but we have a decent sized, two wheeled, pull-along trolley for trips to the local Aldi & Sainsbury's.

Very useful it is too.

Get one with larger wheels, rather than the very small ones.
