On November 22, 2013, REO announced a benefit concert with Styx, “Rock to the Rescue”, to raise money for families affected by the tornadoes in central Illinois. The concert was held on December 4, 2013, in Bloomington, Illinois. Richard Marx joined REO on stage for a joint performance of two of his hit songs.
It took two people—and several minutes—to put the L.L.Bean wagon away after use. We had to wrestle the cover onto the bulky rectangle and tug it down to get it on. One of the wheels came loose when one of our testers was carrying about 100 pounds of gear, which is well under the stated weight capacity. The combination of their light weight and a fold-down frame makes folding wagons especially handy for everyday use, including getting in and out of a car or on and off public transportation.

It holds 100 pounds of stuff as a wagon, and 200 pounds of human as a chair. But unfortunately, we were disappointed that it was hard to roll in sand, the wagon basket didn’t hold much in the way of beach gear, and the chair wasn’t as comfortable as our other beach loungers. Compared with ozark trail canopy the standard Mac Sports wagon’s helicopter handle, the Heavy Duty’s helicopter handle felt flimsy and didn’t click into place while extended. Also, the wagon doesn’t fold down to the same size as the standard Mac Sports, making it a tighter squeeze when folded in a sedan’s trunk.
It is built to last with its heavy-duty powder coated steel frame and 600D denier fabric. The telescoping adjustable handle locks and extends, allowing effortless transport across multiple surfaces. Wirecutter is the product recommendation service from The New York Times.
Shortly after his departure, Richrath assembled former members of the Midwestern band Vancouver to form a namesake band, Richrath. After touring for several years, Richrath (the band) released Only the Strong Survive in 1992 on the GNP Crescendo label. Richrath continued to perform for several years before disbanding in the late 1990s. In September 1998, Gary Richrath briefly joined REO onstage at the County Fair in Los Angeles to play on the band’s encore song, “157 Riverside Avenue”. He rejoined REO in Los Angeles in May 2000 for the same encore, but no serious plans for a reunion ever materialized.
Because of how tightly the Mac Sports folds, it seems more compact and easy to carry than any of the other wagons we tested. When folded, the Mac Sports wagon’s dimensions are approximately 29.5 by 20 by 8 inches. It comes with a small cover, which squeezes the accordion folds together tightly and makes the wagon easier to lift and carry with the included strap. The material is easy to wipe clean, and during our testing it didn’t grow any mildew when stored damp. Even after five years of use, the wagon didn’t lose any ability to fold or unfold smoothly.
The frame is a strong heavy-duty steel finished with a powder coating for rust resistance. The covering is a colorful, durable, weather-resistant polyester fabric. Additional features include a telescoping locking handle, side straps to attach your beach umbrella or fishing poles, and 2 mesh drink holder pockets.
We’ve seen people using these wagons around the neighborhood and at the beach, as well as for gardening, outdoor concerts and movies, and sporting events. I even ran into a PTA parent who was using a wagon to schlep a used printer to school. A good, sturdy beach wagon will transport everything you need from your car to your seaside spot, wheel easily over sand and rocky terrain, and fold up for convenient storage in your car when you’re not using it.
