I am looking at getting one of these and just wanted to make sure it delivers what I want from it. I am assuming on the whole it will be a lot easier than a single wheel Barrow. Like the idea of pushing rather than lifting and pushing. I appreciate it will take some manouvering on bends but it would be good to hear some user reviews.

Many thanks

Me too, i might be considering one of these.
The design of the handle bar allows for you to lift the back wheels off the ground on tight turns etc.
Looks well engineered.

Its a great barrow, nice and easy to push and quite easy going round corners. The only down side is when the ground is spongy, the big chunky wheels work against you. No lifting and no bending once you have the handle set up correctly.

Its very heavy too.

Obviously it's big and heavy. You need a big car to get it in. Space to store it at home. 3 wheels Take up a lot of space. It takes a while to put together and take down. If you do long sessions and take loads of gear then it's worth it. You need fairly smooth wide paths to push it on. No good over a rutted muddy field. I know a couple of lakes where I wouldn't get mine down the track. On the whole it's good for long sessions ,on lakes where there is a long walk to the swim ,down a decent path.

just sold mine ... It is very stable and well built, but i didnt like the handle design, it is a beast of a thing and just too heavy for me. I would rather do 2 trips with a single wheel barrow that is half the weight and more manoeuvrable
