Bought for granddaughter, haven't heard a complaint from her or her Mom, but she is a cautious child and her Mom supervises. So far she just goes slowly up and down sidewalk, no such problem that I know of.

Hi I bought for my 2/5 years nephew and he is loving this scooter. He is playing a lot and he is not having any problem.

my issue with it is that the bolts come loose. The handle bars get loose fast no matter how much you tighten them. So far no complaints from my kids about the back wheels.

I did not have this problem. The wheel has gone on easily for me. Actally, in your case, it sounds like there was a factory malfunction...just a fluke. Mine has been great for years, other than the wheel coming off a couple of times. I hope this info helps you.....Cathy

Sorry. The one we bought was the first one we purchased. Our granddaughters LOVE it. They've only had it since Christmas so I hope the wheels are still working. Let me know if you find out where to get replacement wheels. The way they're using it, they'll need them also.

Forgot to add ... Need to watch the fenders ... Maybe tack weld in a few spots ... They tend to fall off on bumpy roads ... The weak point is just two bolts ... The fender starts to bend back and forth eventually failing metal at the bolts

ours has started having issues this season as well, ( less than a year old) I plan to open it up and see if there may be debris or chemical buildup restricting the moving parts..... not sure if there is a fix? would like to hear what problems/fixes others have had as well

Its discontinued? Oh man! I need back wheels my front is fine. I am same boat as you. If I would have known I never would have purchased and its such a shame cause its a great ride my kids love it. If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often! (About 3-5 times a week during sping/summer)The only "complaint" I have is that, while it is a BG wagon, it clearly shows 2 children sitting comfortably in it, but I guarantee they will be stepping on each others feet and there knees will be touching if they are 2+. I only have one child so it has only been an issue twice when I was walking my friends child and my son. This may not even be an issue for you, but I figured I'd give that info. Besides that, I absolutely love it. The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often!

We haven't had our child in it yet but our front wheels moved when we were playing with it. Maybe double check your rods in the front end.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

This is a recent problem. I've had/ used 3 of these in the past year and never had that problem (All 3 are still fine, they just stayed with friends/ family). Just bought a new one a month ago and the handle was impossible to remove - now the bolt is completely stripped and I'm returning for a new one. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

I have not had any issue with that at all, we have a 35 lb 2.5 year old and a 24 lb 1 year old and they do fine....the only thing I have noticed is that we use it as a stroller a bit for walks and the included wheel is wearing pretty quickly so the upgraded wheel would be beneficial, we have not had any issues!

I LOVE my Mountain Buggy, it is great in grass and all terrain. My complaints on it would be that when you are going off a curb or a tilt you have to be careful because it is 3 wheeled and easily can go from 3 - 2 if not careful. Also when the second child is still in the cocoon I found that the head was lower than her feet and therefor not super comfy for her, she was long also so her head was right at the back of the first seat. Now that they are both older 2.5 and 9 months I really like it and the child in the back doesn't ever complain. For 30 min running in the stroller I think it would be a great stroller. I always have people come and ask me about mine because it is the same size as a single and not bulky at all! Worth every penny.

I have not had any issue with mine...totally love it but check to see that the brake is not grabbing on that side, or that the under basket is not rubbing against the wheel

no it's not. I'm the same ht as you and you'll get use to it. It's really not that bad. I also did not have problem with the wheels like some ppl did here. We wheeled through gravel, rocks and dirt through parts of under construction area in our community. best purchase i've ever made for my puppy when she was injured.

I bought this for my son when he was 1 an now he is 3, he still enjoys it but now he pulls the toy to his dirt pile, doesn't really pedal with it anymore. If I was hunting for a CAT digger, I might try something else. The older kids (ages 4-9) in our neighborhood really like just the backhoe with the seat on the back....I hope that helps

It's very dangerous. But it's a lot of fun. As many others have pointed out you need to be very diligent in loading it properly and assuring that is assembled correctly. Definitely should buy more bolts!! Personally I find it a great value at under $20.

I gift this toy to alot of friends and family. I have never owned this particular toy but having two girls under 3 i do have similar riding toys. And like you i too have hard wood floors. That bring said ive not noticed any scratches to my floors with any of these toys. Even when my seven year old plays with them. Not sure how well this helps but its the best i have.
