Get the Bag Boy Quad Pro. It lists at $60 less than the Nitron Swivel, comes in 2.5 lbs lighter, and includes a detachable umbrella holder in the box. The Nitron Swivel is worth the premium if you want a 360° swivel front wheel that locks and a one-step auto-open that uses a Nitro-Piston to unfold itself. For everyone else, the Quad Pro does the job for less money.
Both are Bag Boy push carts with Top-Lok bag attachment, a cup holder, a deep storage console, and a 2-year limited warranty. Neither lists a seat. Same brand either way — you're choosing between two different designs.
The Quad Pro is lighter at 16 lbs; the Nitron Swivel is 18.5 lbs. That 2.5-lb gap is modest on the fairway but real when you're hoisting it into the trunk twice a round.
The folded sizes tell an interesting story. By volume, the Nitron Swivel folds smaller — 3.1 cubic feet vs. 3.5 — but the numbers worth checking are the individual dimensions. The Nitron Swivel folds to 18.7 × 13 × 22 in. The Quad Pro folds to 24 × 17 × 15 in. The Quad Pro is lower — 15 in high against 22 — but it's wider and longer, with a 24-in longest dimension against the Nitron Swivel's 22 in. Which one fits your trunk depends on your car: if you've got vertical clearance and limited floor space, the Nitron Swivel's taller-but-narrower profile may suit you better. If the hatch is wide but shallow, the Quad Pro's flat shape works in your favor.
The Nitron Swivel has three wheels, with a 360° swiveling front wheel that can be locked. The Quad Pro has four wheels. The Quad Pro's parking brake is mounted on the handle. The Nitron Swivel uses a dual rear brake system that locks both back wheels. They just work differently.
The Nitron Swivel describes its fold as auto-open using a Nitro-Piston, one step. The Quad Pro uses a two-step open and fold.
On accessories, the Quad Pro comes with a detachable umbrella holder included. Bag Boy's page for the Nitron Swivel mentions integrated umbrella storage but doesn't say an umbrella holder is included — that's worth confirming before you assume it's in the box. The Quad Pro also includes a magnetic accessory plate; the Nitron Swivel includes two magnetic plates. Both have a drink holder and a console.
The Quad Pro lists at $299.95. The Nitron Swivel lists at $359.95. That's a $60 gap at list.

The Quad Pro lists for less, weighs less, and ships with a detachable umbrella holder already in the box. The Nitron Swivel's case rests on the swivel front wheel and the one-step piston open — real features, but $60 worth of real depends on whether you'll actually use them. For most walkers, those aren't make-or-break.
