So Different From What I Was Using
For the past 5 years I have been using a Sun Mountain Micro golf cart. I really liked how small it folded up and the fact that it has four wheels. With that said, I really did not like how slow it was and how much resistance I felt while pushing my clubs around the course. Also, it was so low to the ground that my towels kept dragging in the grass, dirt, goose poop, etc... Long story short, I decided to make a change.First, I bought this in "Used-Very Good" condition for $180. I went this rout because I have a tough time putting out $250 for a replacement of something that still works. Now, the good part... When I received it, it was not used at all. It was in a slightly beat up Bag Boy box but it had never been opened and all of the pieces were in their original packaging; I was very pleasantly surprised.The assembly took me less than 5 minutes. There are instructions but it is so intuitive that I didn't have to reference them at all. Once together, just like the descriptions and videos I have read and seen, it popped right open and was ready to go. The collapsing process is soooo much easier than what I was used to as well. Now, it is quite a bit bigger than my old Micro Cart but when collapsed down, not so much. It will easily fit where my Micro Cart did and the enlarged size will help with ground clearance and not having my towel dragging through the muck on every round. It rolls really smoothly and without much ground friction. The tires will be great since they are maintenance free. I really like the cup holder as it will hold a larger container than what I have been used to. My bag (not Bag Boy or Datek) fits well onto the cart and the bungees hold it firmly in place. I may consider a Bag Boy or Datek bag in the future to see what the Top-Lok feature is all about. It would be nice if they simply sold the Top-Lok attachment separately so I could simply add it to my existing bag but that's a battle for another day. The only thing I may need to decided to do is add the cooler and seat attachment down the road.Super happy that I decided to move forward with this purchase and would highly recommend to others who may be considering this model.

1-Action Open But Top-Lok Needs Work
Update: there seems to be a design flaw with the storage box. So I put stuff in it, and when I folded it and turned it sideways (only way it will fit in my truck bed) all the stuff came out. That needs a latch or something.To be fair, this is the review before actually taking it out on the course. But the primary reason I bought this was for the Top-Lok system because I hate attaching bags to carts. I'm over 300lbs and getting me out there to walk especially in the hot Florida sun is a lot to ask. When I'm done, I just need things to be easy. Now, that being said, things should be much easier than my previous cart (Clic Gear from 2007). But it's not as easy to put the bag on the cart as I hoped. The top-lok system is just a couple of nubs that fit into an area kind of like a 3D puzzle piece. When the bag is empty, it's kind of hard, but when the bag is full with clubs obscuring your view, it's even harder.A pleasant surprise was the fact that this cart had a spot for an umbrella, this is huge as my umbrella use to be in my way on my old cart, plus it would make the bag rotate on the cart, which was super annoying. This fixes that problem, but lining up the umbrella into the hole is a bit of a game. Instead of a piece of rubber that you push the umbrella through to hole it to the side of the cart, I think maybe some kind of clasp, that could close on the umbrella would have worked much better, that way I could put the umbrella into the little hole first, tilt it to the cart, and shut the clasp (maybe clasp isn't the right word, something that would be like a "C" that would close down on the umbrella).It will be interesting to see how the beverage section works, as my previous cart as it was moving over bumpy terrain would end up sending my drink all over the scorecard.I'm taking the cart out this weekend, so I'll update if there's anything else good or bad about it. Also, I'm using the Chiller bag from Bag Boy.

5.5 Stars for Bagboy Bag Owners w/TopLock
This was a sight unseen purchase to replace my 20 year old Sunmountain speed cart that was still going strong. My motivation was the toploc technology that the cart and my 2018 Bagboy Defender bag have.Out of the box, the cart is built better then I had expected. Every bit as substantial as my trusty SunMountain; not a tank like a Cigar. The fit with my bag is the real deal. No need to strap the top at all and I do the bottom out of habit. zero bag twist even on a hilly course. It does not push quite as easy as my old bike tire SunMountain but I don't think any all plastic would; just too much width in the tires footprint. Never-the-less, it pushes fine and was super stable over the bumpy, hilly course I call home. Walked 18 yesterday with a heavy winter bag with no issue.I have to admit I like how easy it is to setup the nitro cart. Likely 10 seconds from trunk to ready for my bag. Another 45 seconds and my bag is in the cart. Shut down likely takes 20 seconds. The smart phone mount is a nice feature as well.The only negative about this cart is you need to empty balls before you fold the cart up; the lid will open and they will come out.For someone who has bag twist and walks as much as I do, this cart and a newer model bagboy bag make all that a thing of the past. certainly a great rig when paired together

Nice cart
Overall this is a good cart. Had a Sun Mountain v1 for many years but finally got to the point where repairs just weren’t worth it. The Sun Mountain was heavy, sturdy, more complicated to fold and had a solid bicycle style brake system whereas the Bag Boy is light, very easy to fold and load in the car, with a weaker braking system. I’m not fond of the accessory tray on the Bag Boy as the magnetic clasp isn’t strong enough and when you fold the cart up everything falls out. The wheels on the Bag Boy are plastic and don’t roll quite as well as the Sun Mountain but that is a trade off for the weight savings. I doubt the Bag Boy will last as long but the compactness, light weight, headcover holder and easy folding are great features

Better than Clicgear
I managed to pick this up up for £189 which I think was a great price. This folds and unfolds very easily without any of the complication or finger nipping risk of the Clicgear 3.5+. It is also lighter than the Clicgear but still feels solid.The water bottle holder is positioned really well and doesn't interfere with the club's (unlike the Stewart R1S). The umbrella holder is solid and the storage bag under the handles is really useful.The bag I use sits very well (Titleist Stadry Cart) on it and the elastic retaining straps are excellent.Overall I would highly recommend.

SO easy to use
absolutely fantastic and really easy to use golf trolley. folds down very small, highly recommend the bag that comes with it, and quick and simple to put up.the bag under the handle is so useful.only two downsides are the price and the umbrella holder which doesn't actually hold the umbrellas in there? it just assumes they sit in it perfectly and stay still? so i had to buy a new one and drill some simple holes.

no umbrella holder
Having bought this back in july i must say it is a brilliant buggy...i am now slightly disappointed that it has just been brought to my attention that a umbrella holder should've been supplied with it having searched google it appears that you cannot buy umbrella holder for it..a real inconvenience especially as golfing in Scotland

Sturdy, comfy, simple!
My old cart was a BagBoy from 2005. It still worked, but lacked several key features of modern carts. I tend to be loyal to a brand if it has served me well, so I read many reviews, but stuck with BagBoy. Have played several rounds now and love the cart. Rolls nicely, brake is easy to apply, the cart is very easy to fold and extract. Also very compact to fit into the trunk. Great purchase, will serve me the next 15 years!

Quick
Best trolley I have used and seen. It’s really easy to use and setup , it is even quicker to setup than I thought it would be. If your looking for a push trolly and don’t mind spending this is the one to have.
