This folding stroller includes every feature imaginable
As a new member of the push-cart brigade, it's been fun testing various models over the past few years, and I've really liked them all. It probably helps that I don't consider myself overly picky. Before taking up carts a few years ago, I used to drag towing carts (gasp!) or ripping my bag off my back. Let's be honest — almost anything feels like an upgrade compared to that.
My “essential” list for a quality pushchair is very short: portability, maneuverability and stability. That's great! Anything else is pure bonus. That's why I'm so impressed with my latest Clicgear cart. The new Model 4.5 is packed with extras that make the wagon feel even more premium.

What I love about the Clicgear Model 4.5 cart
One thing I've noticed about other push carts I've tried is that extras like storage, cups and the like tend to be, in fact, extra. That is, you have to buy those “attachment accessories” separately. Not so with Clickgear Model 4.5! There are several simple and recommended installations.
Storage
I mostly play community golf at courses that don't offer locker facilities. So, I tend to take my wallet with me when I play, and this has caused a problem in the past. There's usually nowhere to put it in the pushchair, so I just end up hanging it in my bag. But my small crossbody bag managed to fit nicely into the slotted storage area under the handle of the Clicgear Model 4.5, so that was a plus. There's also a plastic console with a latch lid that can easily accommodate a regular-sized wallet and keys.
The best part was the integrated phone holder, specially designed for sound amplification. If you're a GPS app user, this is a great feature, as it keeps the phone upright and securely positioned throughout your cycle.
The included cup holder was also much appreciated but sadly wasn't big enough to easily carry my large Stanley. In Arizona, where I live, sealed cups are life, so I'll need to downgrade to a soft water bottle or just use a disposable Styrofoam cup next time.
I don't use a handheld rangefinder, but players who do will appreciate the magnetic storage and hook-and-loop options on the console for easy access to these devices.
There's also an umbrella holder attached to the handle – something I didn't use but worth considering, especially when it comes to play in these unbearably hot Arizona summers.
Strong ropes
Some players may prefer the bungee closure but I really liked the security provided by the strong silicone straps on the top and bottom of the cart. My bag didn't move!
Mobility, portability and adjustability
The Model 4.5 is a little intimidating out of the box. The printed instructions on how to open and fold the cart were hard for me to visualize, but the video on the Clicgear website is really helpful. In three steps, you can collapse and build a cart. It gets easier with practice. I recommend doing it a few times before bringing the cart to the course.
While this stroller isn't the smallest or lightest stroller I've ever used, it feels sturdy and premium, and I really liked having the ability to adjust the height of the push handle. Even my 10th grade daughter was able to put the handle in a position where she could push the stroller with ease.
The three wheels are nimble, and the ride is easy. I didn't notice any instability or top heaviness, even after stuffing the handle box and mesh area with a wallet and other items.
Final verdict: If you're a mobile golfer who appreciates having a secure place to store all your equipment and gadgets – and a sturdy, collapsible cart that slides into your trunk, the Clicgear Model 4.5 is a real winner, and I look forward to enjoying it for seasons to come.
