Mac Sports Folding Wagon with Tailgate and Table

I researched folding wagons for a few days, compared them all, and ended up buying the Mac Wagon from Sam’s Club. It came down to the Mac Wagon and a couple more from other large retail stores. The Mac Wagon is about $5 more, but well worth it. I was able to go to a couple of local places to look at, touch, and measure their wagons…but our Sam’s Club didn’t have any Mac Wagons in stock. So, I had to rely on reviews of others, for the Mac Wagon features. The Mac Wagon is the highest-rated folding wagon on all sites, has a 4.8 of 5 rating on Sam’s website, and a 4.7 of 5 on the largest on-line retailer’s site, with almost 6,000 reviews…that’s huge. The other wagons I considered both report 225 lb capacity, while the Mac Wagon reports a 150 lb capacity. And, the Mac Wagon is better-made, and much more-sturdy than the others, so I have to believe there is a discrepancy somewhere in weight reporting. One of the comparable wagons is about 3” shorter than the Mac Wagon. Being 6’ 4”, the handle length was a big deal for me…the Mac Wagon has by-far the longest extended pull handle. I’m not sure exactly how long any of them are, as none report accurately, but I would say the Mac Wagon’s handle is a good 4”-5” longer than competitors handles. The Mac Wagon also has 9” rubber tires. While with the competitors, one wagon has 7” rubber tires, and the other wagon has 7” PVC tires. I definitely wanted rubber tires, for a smoother, quieter ride. The Mac Wagon has a steel frame that acts as a rail in the front and back…you can also lift the wagon, if need be, by the frame. The other wagons’ frames are nowhere near as sturdy. The Mac Wagon is also easier to fold and unfold than the other wagons. It also has the seat and all the padding built-in to the bed of the wagon. The other wagons have separate padded cardboard beds that you have to fold out and lay in the bed of the wagon after unfolding. One of the knocks on the Mac Wagon used to be that it wouldn’t stand up by itself. Well, they have changed that with the newer models, and some little extensions from the rear wheels unfold when you fold the wagon, allowing it to sit on the extensions and stand up by itself. I was able to find a really good comparison video on the differences between the Mac Wagon and one top competitor. This comparison video sold me on the Mac Wagon. I’m glad I listened.
