Are the wheels optional or do they lock? If not, does the cart roll around too easliy? I have a toddler and want to be safe.

Wheels do not lock. Also, I would not put anything very heavy (like a microwave that is pictured) on one with a toddler around. The are okay enough for the light things we store on them (mostly baskets with small items) but they are not all that sturdy.

They appear to be a hard rubber wheel. The cart has worked well so far, but the only thing you can't do is flip up the bottom support without the wheels folding. They are connected and once the wheels unfold, so does the bottom support. It's not really a problem, but something to mention.

no there isn't a lock, but the front wheels do turn and that might keep it from rolling.

I believe the "locking" refers to the wheels (casters). The drawers do not lock in place, actually they can be opened from either side of the cart. I've purchases 3 of these carts to date, and I really like them a LOT! Let me know if you have any other questions, as I'll be glad to answer!

No, the wheels do not lock. I bought the Tractor Scoot for my 90 Year old dad. We love it!

The wheels are about 4 inches. Would roll okay on carpet but might be top heavy if loaded. If you put a lot of weight on top it could tip easily. Also no handle so it would be difficult to push as a cart.

It is awkward to move because it only has two wheels. However, if you simply lift up the back side, it does roll easily.

I have not used the wheels, but I they don't have locks on them. But I do love the crate. It's great for travel and we keep it up all the time.

No it doesn't have wheel lock so if you're on a slope you'll need to turn the cart so it isn't angled towards a downslope.

Yes, the wheels lock great. The hold in the middle is slightly smaller in my opinion but still is very functional. I think it is a great chair.

No the wheels don't lock, but I have not found it to be a problem. I think it is a great stool!

Hi ! the front wheels lock - but truthfully they almost don't need to - the wood frame has good weight and the top stainless steel is pretty heavy - I've been using it for 3 months now and I haven't locked them because it really doesn't move - it's that solid - granted, I'm a 5'-6" girl but I'm a construction worker and I have to push it harder then I thought to move it - I love this piece - the wheels are good quality, heavy duty and even the slats on the shelves are solid wood NOT wood grain like a lot of pieces I've actually bought - great investment

Wheels are hard rubber not pneumatic with tubes. The washers they supply with the cart fit a little loose so it's kinda wobbly. I got some washers at Menards to tighten up the clearances on the axle so it rolls a little quieter. It's still a little noise for my liking especially when I pull it behind my mountain bike.

The wheels could be taken off since you have to put them on when you assemble the cart. However, this really isn't necessary since the wheels lock. I have been using my cart for years now and it has never moved (wheels are locked) and still looks like the day I got it. It is a very sturdy cart, lots of great storage!

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.

No the wheels do not lock but the cart sits very low to the ground. So if it is on grass it doesn't move when you are pulling out the hose. I'm sure if it was on a smooth surface, like a driveway, it would slide.

The swivel wheels do not lock, they just swivel to go in the direction you steer them. As for assembly, I had no problem, in fact the front swivel wheels may already have been attached. Even if they weren't it they are easy to put on, just four nuts and bolts each. It took me about 10 minutes to put the cart together and most of that was making sure that I got the washers in the right order for the rear wheels. I have found this cart to be most useful and I am fully satisfied with it. The only minor thing is that there is a clicking sound from the front wheels when they roll and other than that this is a great cart.
