Amazon's mega-popular outdoor wagon ā€” terrific for picnics and pickleball ā€” is 40% off: 'It can handle quite a lot of weight'

36,000+ happy haulers swear by this back-saving, rolling wonder.

May is in full spring, er, swing ā€” ready to enjoy the warmer weather? Well, before you head out for a picnic in the park, a tailgate or a walk to the grocery store, get a load of this: We found a handy, durable, collapsible wagon to tote gear anywhere and everywhere, and it's on mega-sale. The MacSports Utility Wagon is down to just $97 from $160 at Amazon. That's 40% off, and with more than 36,000 five-star ratings, itā€™s a guaranteed winner.

Ideal for tailgating, concerts, carrying groceries, trips to the park, camping, gardening ... pretty much anything that needs hauling.

$97 at Amazon

At $97, this isn't the absolute best price we've seen, but it's only dipped lower than that a few times this year, and why wait till next spring to reap the rewards? Go ahead and add this wagon to your cart. (It's available in five colors, though prices vary.)

If you're tired of heavy tote bags falling off your shoulders (aren't we all?), the foldable MacSports Wagon is designed to be stable and easy on the back.

It opens to 35 inches long by 20 inches wide by 23 high (that includes the handle); while folded for transport and storage, itā€™s down to just 20 by 30 by 8 inches ā€” easy to stash away. Its sturdy metal frame allows it to hold up to 150 pounds (that's a lotta pickleball paddles!), and the adjustable handle can be locked to give you more control.

For picnics, summer festivals and sporting events, thereā€™s just nothing like this. It turns hauling gear into a pleasure ā€” and takes the work out of your back and hips and knees.

And how is the MacSports Wagon in terms of functionality? According to reviewers, it's one of the easiest wagons to use, from start to finish. If you love the great outdoors or happen to be out for the day, forget about style, this is the accessory you need.

ā€œGreat for outdoor concerts in the park!" said one happy shopper. ā€œHooked up with friends recently at Tallahasseeā€™s outdoor Southwood Park for a concert. Each of us brought chairs, food, drinks and all the eating essentials. Walked about a quarter mile or so to our chosen site. The wagon accommodated everything we brought for the event gathering!"

And itā€™s not just for fun. Many, many reviewers say the MacSports Wagon is a lifesaver for everyday chores. Reported one such five-star fan: "I have used this a lot and I have had it a month and a half. I have used it for groceries, odds and ends, moving between my old apartment and new apartment (the parking lot is far from my new apartment) ā€¦ and I used it to bring my monitors and large printer from my office to my home. ... It's great! It is very maneuverable. It is rugged and can handle quite a lot of weight. I am very impressed.ā€

"Works like a charm!" exclaimed a third reviewer. "It steers well, and the adjustable handle is long enough to not let the wheels or carriage bump into my ankles. For the downhill part, all I had to do was let the handle lock into the carriage, and I could control the wagon down the steep, 35-degree grade."

Several users had the same issue as this buyer, who wrote, "The only complaint I have is that it does not stand up when it's folded. Would be great if the wheels locked so it could stand on its own. Even leaning it against a wall doesn't help, as it just rolls and falls. Still great for hauling things."

"It weighs quite a bit, but that is a testament to its sturdiness," shared a final fan. "Takes up quite a bit of room in the trunk of my Subaru Crosstrek, but [the] seats do fold down if I only have two or three passengers, and that provides more room. I highly recommend this cart for gardening, camping or any other reason you might want a cart."

For just a buck more, you can get it in this hard-to-miss red.

If you're taking this show on the road and want a portable speaker along for the ride, this is the one for you.

With 24 watts of power and 24 hours of playtime, this compact, lightweight speaker will keep the party thumping long into the night.

"All I can say is wow!" cheered one user. "This little speaker is packed with power for its size! Paired instantly with my iPhone 11. The setup was very easy. I had it up and going right out of the box; it came with a full charge as well. It also charges pretty quickly, usually only about two hours. The sound quality is extraordinary, with some good bass to it as well. Truly waterproof! Left it outside accidentally and it rained! Still works like new ā€” had it for about two months now."
