Bag Boy Quad Pro vs Clicgear Model 8.0+

The Quick Verdict

Get the Bag Boy Quad Pro. It's 6 lbs lighter, folds smaller, lists at $59.05 less, and comes with an umbrella holder included. The Clicgear Model 8.0+ earns a look if you carry a cart bag and want a hand brake that works on both front wheels — but that's a narrow case, and the Quad Pro covers most rounds for most golfers.

What They Have in Common

Both are four-wheel push carts with a brake, a storage console, and a cup holder. The Quad Pro's warranty is 2 years limited; the Clicgear's parts cover is 2 years only when bought from Clicgear.com. Clicgear publishes open dimensions (45 × 29 × 45 inches) and Bag Boy doesn't, and neither lists a seat as included.

Where They Differ

Size and weight

The Quad Pro folds to 24 × 17 × 15 inches and 3.5 cubic feet. The 8.0+ folds to 27 × 15 × 17 inches and 4 cubic feet. The gap is half a cubic foot, which probably won't decide anything on its own — but the longest single dimension is 24 inches versus 27, and that's the number to measure against your trunk floor before you buy either one. The Quad Pro also weighs 16 lbs to the 8.0+'s 22 lbs. Six pounds is what you lift into the trunk twice a round, every round. That adds up.

Braking

The Quad Pro has a handle-mounted parking brake. The 8.0+ has a hand brake that hits both front wheels, with externally routed cables. Those are different pieces of equipment, and how either holds on a long downhill isn't something a spec sheet settles.

What's in the box

The Quad Pro includes a detachable umbrella holder, a deep scorecard console, and a combined drink-and-phone holder. The 8.0+ includes two cup holders and a large storage net. Clicgear's page notes an umbrella storage strap but does not list an umbrella holder as included. If you walk with an umbrella, that's one to check on the 8.0+ side.

The Quad Pro uses Top-Lok bag retention. The 8.0+ uses a silicone strap system — and Clicgear states it is not compatible with stand bags. That's worth knowing before you buy.

Price and warranty

The Quad Pro lists at $299.95. The 8.0+ lists at $359 — a $59.05 gap at list. The 8.0+'s warranty is more complex: 2 years on parts and 6 years on the frame if you buy direct from Clicgear.com, but 1 year on parts and 3 years on the frame from other retailers. The Quad Pro carries a straightforward 2-year limited warranty with no retailer condition listed.

Who Should Buy Which

Buy the Bag Boy Quad Pro if:

• You want the lighter load at the tailgate — 16 lbs versus 22 lbs is a real difference over a season.
• You walk with an umbrella and want the holder stated as included.
• You carry a stand bag — Clicgear says the 8.0+ isn't compatible with those.
• You want a simpler warranty with no "where did you buy it" condition.

Buy the Clicgear Model 8.0+ if:

• Your course has meaningful hills and you want a hand brake on both front wheels rather than a handle-mounted parking brake.
• You carry a cart bag and the stand-bag incompatibility doesn't apply to you.
• You buy direct from Clicgear.com and want the longer frame warranty.

The Bottom Line

The Quad Pro is lighter, folds smaller, lists for less, and includes the umbrella holder. The 8.0+ is heavier and pricier, but its dual front-wheel brake is a real piece of hardware if your course asks for it — and if you're buying from a third-party retailer, make sure you're comfortable with the shorter warranty that comes with it. For a flat-to-moderate course with a stand bag in the trunk, the Quad Pro is the easier call.
