How durable are the wheels? We walk quite a ways to the grocery store, and our last cart's wheels wore out within months.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough. But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have.

I cannot attest to the durability of the tires on asphalt. My mom uses hers exclusively on concrete & tile. The wheels LOOK substantial. Sorry cannot be more helpful.

Have not had any problems with the wheels but we do not use cart on a regular basis although we have used it with very heavy items and it was fine.

The wheels are thin but sturdy. They are made of rubber. So far, they still roll straight, and that's after 4 months of heavy use.

I use it every day and the wheels are holding up well. No issues after having it almost a year. Very roomy bag.

My son has the Green Machine. He loves it but the wheels wore through after only a month of riding. This looks like it will last longer and be easier to assemble.

Used 2 of them for 4 weeks and no breakage. For sure they are not strong but I think it likely they can be replaced with wheels off a standard shelf from a hardware store. Still a great buy!

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

I've filled my cart with groceries and rolled it along 3 or so blocks along brick, sidewalk, and cobblestone. I've only rolled it on 2 wheels rather than 4 (because the groceries were heavy) but it managed just fine through ice, a thin layer of snow and salt. I haven't tried it on rougher terrain i.e. Thick snow, but I think it's great!

We've had ours 6 months now and they are holding up so far. For the price we paid, I think they are a better deal then buying them from Sears. They were outrageously expensive.

We've had it for a few years now, my husband recalls that it wasn't that bad. Wheels, handles, that kind of thing. Hope that helps

I don't think this cart is sturdy enough for such use. Two miles over bad roads requires something as sturdy as a regular grocery cart like the kind you find in the grocery stores. The closest to such quality I've found is the Costco cart--a seasonal item but much sturdier than this cart. But I'm not sure even that cart is up to 2 miles on bad roads over an extended period. Perhaps your grocer can sell you a cart that's being retired or at least put you in contact with their cart manufacturer for a discount.

The wheels are like your basic umbrella stroller, but double. I haven't noticed anything strange about the wheels not rolling straight. It basically goes where I push it. It's reasonably durable. I've had it for about six months now. This stroller gets a lot of use. The only wear I've noticed is that the handle foam is breaking a little, but I always hang my bags off of it. Also the seam where the chair is stretched out, but mainly because I let my 4 yr old sit there with one of my twins on his lap while the other twin sat in the other seat. I use it multiple times every day to go places with the twins. ( I keep it in the trunk of my car). The wheels are like your basic umbrella stroller, but double.

no the wheels are the most durableIt is the props that strip the tiny gears or shred the fine plastic when they crash into items.

The wheels appear to be rubber. We've had this chair for about 6 months, and have not had any problems. We often use it on parking lots with uneven, rough surfaces (for the many doctor's appointments) and "off-roading" on grass at the community ball park. There may a scratch or two in the wheels, but they are holding up quite well. I highly recommend this chair.

Hi Stephen! The wheels are made of a heavy duty plastic. This easy rolling cart is tough enough for nearly any job. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Department if you have any further questions, Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm (CST) at (888) 944-8667 or email us at help@whitmor.com. Have a great day!

I've only had mine for about a month but the cover does seem to be very durable and sturdy. I leave my cart outside and so far the cover has done a good job. Has survived several thunderstorms and has kept the cart dry.

I've only had it for less than a year, but so far it is very durable. It is so well made, the wheels should last as long as the carrier.
