What are the tires/wheels made of? How does it handle bumpy roads?

Rubber wheels. It handles like a regular baby stroller. It's not heavy duty like a jogging stroller, so it's not meant for rougher use. But for walking on roads and sidewalks, it's fine.

They are made of hard stiff rubber. We took ours on a trail hike one time and it did o.k. but I wouldn't say it is suited really well for that. The trail we went on is easy, but dirt walkway. It had a lot of roots protruding up from the ground in the trail and some big boulders. We did o.k. with it but I would not say it is for that kind of use. The wheels are great on hard surface. We have never had a problem with them. I pack our dog's water bottle in the carry basket below along with our stuff as well. Love the cup holders on the top by the handle. Also can put my car keys in it too. I put a memory foam bath mat inside for more cushion (leopard print!). Screening works great. My dog is a 7 lb yorkie. They are made of hard stiff rubber.

Tires are made of plastic. They tend to slip on concrete with excess force.

I bought this for my mom, who has recently passed away. If I recall correctly, I do believe the tires were hard rubber and cannot be punctured.

The wheels are plastic but they seem to be made of a sturdy material. The wheels on the back are wide, designed for beach use, they are def not flimsy. We loaded the cart heavy and had no problems. I just showed it to my sister in-law and she loves it. She is planning to purchase one for her next family vacation as well.

The wheels are high grade, hard thick plastic. Our grandson has ridden on a concrete driveway for almost 2 years on it and the wheels are still as strong as they were when we purchased it. Very durable.

Tires are plastic. I love the Joovy, but only use it for short walks around the neighborhood. It's not the sturdiest bike out there.

Not sure what the wheels are made of, I think plastic like but very durable. My granddaughter had this car since 1year old and she still enjoys riding down the street with her mom and ,she is20 months now.my daughter loves it cause she can steer the car ,there is a small wheel in the middle which you can adjust.when she she gets older you can lift up the middle wheel and my granddaughter can steer it.My granddaughter loves this car.

Tires are plastic. I also have the swat edition police car that has a rubber strip in the center. My son favors the dune buggy more than the police car. He absolutely loves the buggy and drives it pretty much daily. My son is almost three.

I agree with the others. 8" steel wheels w/hard rubber tires. I recently retired it as I used it for over 2 years and it is literally falling apart. I liked how it folded and it's fairly lightweight. I had trouble using it on grass or gravel but that's probably true of most walkers.

Hi, The tires are rubber with tubes and they provide the best ride I have ever seen (this is my 5th stroller of different makes I will never again buy anything other than this PetZip) I lived many years in the country and this stroller can do it all with ease! Hope this helps, Marsha

I use it on pavement and it works fine...I'm not sure about dirt roads though. If I hit even a little bump on uneven pavement it bumps all over the place.

The tires are actually rubber, but not solid rubber, they are inflatable tires. They are very good and absorb the shock of the terrain very well, provided you do not over inflate them, especially off road.

The tires are a solid rubber material and are mounted on a metal rim. The tires hold up on rough paved roads.

It appears to be some kind of very solid foam. Both our boys have ridden ours a lot and the tires have held up with no problems. At ages 3 & 4, they can both ride a pedal bike with no training wheels!

I think the wheels are plastic but this stroller is very sturdy. Gave two as gifts to our granddaughters.no complaints from their moms. well worth the money.

The actual tire portion that touches the ground is rubber. The wheel it is mounted on is plastic. I weigh just over 200 lbs and have had no problems with anything on the rollator. I have used it both walking with it and seated. It is very well made--- I checked out many online before this purchase, and would buy it again.

Hmmm, bumpy as in broken concrete, or bumpy as in a textured sidewalk? I would say no if it's broken concrete but yes to a textured sidewalk. Mine rides nice on walks down our dirt/gravel road. The stroller is made to take the rougher terrain, but my daughter definitely bobbles around in it (which I had hoped would not happen). She's 6 months old. I would not feel comfortable getting up to any speed when walking on our road due to the rough ride. I'm not sure of any stroller that would take that kind of beating (meaning the kiddo would be in for a smooth ride) unless it had some pretty serious suspension system under it:) Hmmm, bumpy as in broken concrete, or bumpy as in a textured sidewalk?
