Are the wheels plastic or rubber? Safe to wheel across hardwood floors?

They are rubber. I'd be ok with them on my hardwoods as long as they were clean.

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

The wheels are hard plastic, but it doesn't bother me. The cart is very sturdy, especially compared to the cheap all-plastic shopping carts out there. My son pushes it around the tile floor as well as on carpeting... No issues with the wheels. I didn't even know they were once made with rubber.

The wheels are not a hard plastic they are more like a little soft rubber styrofoam type material. I do not think they will scratch the floor. My granddaughter loves the carrage.

Yes, they are safe. I have hardwood floors as well and the feet have a rubber type cover on them.

We use it outside but the wheels are plastic and should be fine on wood or carpet.

I believe they are plastic as they are solid, not soft. We used it inside until summer. After it was used outside the wheels were roughed up and I didn't want it to scratch up my floors. It's been a great bike though.

This was one of my main concerns as well, and I am happy to report that we have not had any damage to the finish, or wood itself. The wheels are made of smooth plastic (front) and rubber (back), and have not scratched our floors... Our floors are made of hard wood; hand scraped dark oak.

The wheels are made from a soft rubber. The wheels are very light and will not damage the hardwood. My kids are always running through the house with the stroller. We have all hardwood floors. This is truly a very nice stroller.

Mine has three spoke wheels made of hard plastic and they are very sturdy. I sit on my walker a lot and have not had any issues. Also, I've personally not experienced any sliding on hard floors.

I'm not so sure if this are really Rubber Wheels? why? simply because if they really were Rubber they would be FLAT couldn't hold the weight put on them. I use them everywhere, I have not had marks or scratches on my floors I use them on cement and on Laminate floors. no problems on my side. But like the law of things? try it on a piece of what ever you are going to use them on and see for yourself. I'm very happy with how they work and hold the weight and they do not go flat if left on the same spot a long time. I have not moved the shelves for a period of 8 months the last time and when I moved the rack it rolled. :) hope it helps...

The feet have plastic caps on them. I would say that they are safe to use on hardwood floors.

I don't know for sure as I don't have wooden floors to test it, but the legs do have rubber ends, so I would think not.EDIT: they are plastic, not rubber. I don't see it making a difference, though.

The wheels are a very decent plastic. I'm using them on wood, though maybe not as fancy as yours. No problem. Love the stool.

The tires are rubber and inflatable. The tires were also large enough to handle transporting a 200 pound safe through part of my yard, up a few stairs and into the house fairly easily considering I was doing this myself without help. I've not used this on hardwood floors, but they would be no problem that I foresee.

All wheels are hard plastic, but are well constructed. My daughter has had her big wheel for over two years now without anything breaking. The only downside to plastic wheels is the wheel will spin on certain surfaces and not grip to go.

The wheels are made of hard plastic and would not scratch hardwood. My grandkids use this train on hardwood with no ill effects to the wood.
