I just ordered 2 of the swivel cars and they came with plastic wheels instead of rubber ones like the ad says. Has this been a problem with others?

what color did you buy? perhaps they haven't switched over certain colors yet? I'd like to buy this too but want to make sure I get the rubber wheels.

I've ordered this item 3 separate times now. The wheels are a hard rubber. With a hard plastic I would be concerned about premature wear and also marking on hardwood floors (For outside use, not a concern). I have one for every grandchild. At less than 1 1/2 years old they have mastered the thing. The best toy I have every bought for them. The first toy they want when they are here. They have not lost interest for over a year. I paid $34 each.

The one I ordered in June had the rubber wheels. I don't think they would last too long with plastic wheels. I will be looking to purchase 2 more soon, but now am concerned about purchasing a swivel car.

I just received this swivel car and it too came with plastic wheels even though it specifically says in the description that it comes with rubber wheels. Sending it back.

I actually contacted amazon who said it was an issue with distribution. they offered free return and will double-check the item before shipping the wagon out again. I'll find out saturday if i receive the correct order.

The wheels are hard and designed to take a beating on sidewalks/roads. I strongly believe your wood floor will have marks you will see in dark floors or mar the sheen. Also, make sure to get a Swivel Car with the original "Black Wheels" not the cheaper cars with ones that look like they are adding Grey scooter wheels. These Grey wheels are slightly slimmer and the wheels will come out of the White holders on each side of the rear. You will soon have a toy with missing parts.

The wheels are indeed plastic. My grandson doesn't play with it because it seems to have a hard time staying on track. Make me an offer and pay shipping and I'll send it to you!

The ones I bought from here always came in an original Futaba box along with a sealed plastic bag full of accessories, such as different sized plastic wheels, arms, etc. It looked new to me and I've never had a problem with them.

We NEVER got a chance to assemble. We received the "Boy" version (yellow and red) of the car, but the parts were for the "Girl" version (pink and white). We ordered it three times and got the same mistake was sent to us three times. So I just went to Toys R Us and bought just the car. I was running out of time and needed something to take to the party. Sorry I am no help.

? I don't know what your asking me but I'm sorry you had problems with the wheels. Ours works great.

The wheels are a clear plastic with ball bearing races. The swivel steering is great. I use it on my pebble surface; don't be a worry wart.

My Medline is a recent purchase, and it has the 3-spoke wheels. The number of spokes is not an issue for me, but I WAS surprised to see that this is the first rollator I've ever owned that has plastic wheels rather than rubber ones. The plastic wheels slide like crazy on our hardwood floors, and this is a real issue for me because I have paralyzed feet. I heartily wish these wheels were rubber as my two previous rollators were.

Realized when I answered your question that I didn't not mention the wheels. If you are going to buy this and put on a wood floor, the wheels should be upgraded to rubber wheels so they don't scratch the floor. We got nice ones at Rockler.com

I purchased it for my granddaughter, not sure about the wheels I think they are rubber... but it is well made, a great purchase!

I just loked at the wheels. They both look the same. I snapped and unsnapped both equally with the little metal piece around the wheel. They do slide off easily if you pull them but the carriage has been perfectly fine as it. I do remember inhad trouble with the frot wheel and had extra pieces that I couldn't figure out how to use to I just assembled it to the best of my ability and the wheels have never been am issue. It's not a great answer but its reassuring hopefully that you can put it I together and it stays by Christmas Eve.

No. These are solid plastic wheels/tires. I tried to update my review, though amazon won't allow it, but I did manage to post a comment on my original posting instead; UPDATE: The steering column failed resulting in the cart being unusable. I contacted Kettler to be told that the part is covered under their warranty only that they are back ordered from China and can take 1 - 3 months to arrive. That was August and it is now December. The cart has been used a grand total of 3 times by a 5 year old girl. The email communication from Kettler was unapologetic. Infact they "thanked" me for contacting them. I am very disappointed with a company that when I was a child, had a fabulous reputation for quality. This experience is hardly a testimony for the quality of the cart or Kettler's response to remedying their problem. I won't buy a Kettler product again.

Mine didn't even come with wheels. I'm guessing it's one or the other. I would have liked wheels.

When I ordered the wheels, I did not see any spring thingies in the picture. Just the wheels came in the mail.

Had problem with the front wheel. It locked up several times before the ball bearings actually came out of the wheel. Amazon replaced it promptly, and we haven't had any other problems yet, but it's definitely an issue that KaZAM needs to address in production.
