Does this roll well on a flat surface too or do the 3 wheels get in the way? I'd like one that easily goes up my stairs but also we can take on a walk to the park.

It rolls well either way. The extra wheels only come into play when climbing.

It rolls easily on a flat surface, it uses whatever wheels are in contact with the ground. I haven't tried it on uneven ground yet. I like the cart very much but am still concerned that the wheels are too fragile.

We love it. We use mostly to bring laundry from the bedroom to the garage where the washer is, but could easily see us using it for trips to the store.

it does roll on flat surfaces. The wheel on the bottom does that, while the other two of the "triangle of wheels" stay up in the air. They rotate, when going upstairs. We're pleased with ours. Be sure you snap the wheels in really well, they sometimes may fall out, so don't carry a child or pet or fragile stuff on the top. I have thought about putting some super glue in the snapon part, first, but haven't tried it yet. This has not been a big problem, though, I am so glad to have one, wish I'd done this2 years ago...

Mine works well on stairs. I use mine to bring groceries from the car into the house. When I pull the cart to the car (which is in the driveway), I have to make sure I turn the cart around so that when it is full, I can grab the handle to PULL it back to the house. I am not able to steer it in a circle to reposition it. Because of the 3 wheels on each side, they do not swivel. Other than that, I am very happy with my cart. It works well for my purpose.

yes it works very well on flat surface I take the bus to work then I have about 6 or so blocks to work it works if your pushing or pulling and as I said works well on stairs or curbs and works in snow and the bag don't touch the ground so it don't get wet I have used a bag like a back pac much more expensive and heavier good luck i might just buy another one. vickey

I have one stroller with 4 wheels (large) and one with 3. the 3 wheel is easier to walk with the dogs outside. It turns easier.

I haven't tried but once to move it. It was easy as it has wheels! If no stairs, you're good!!!

It's easy enough for fold up for taking up and down stairs, but if you have 2 kids in it, I imagine pulling it up 5 steps would be tricky--the wheels are not very big.

Ours is on carpet, so it doesn't roll easily at all. But even on a hard floor, it think it would take a little more force to push, the way the wheels turn other directions when you try to push it makes it a little harder to move.

It goes up and down stairs fine, as long as you are carrying a light load. The wheels only lasted a few months when used daily.

My father walks a mile tot he store and no problems. The wheels are sturdy and roll easy. I am not sure if my father pulls more than he pushes. But it should work easy both ways.

I use it on the street and sidewalk as a jogger. The only thing that I would like better is a front wheel that swivels while running. The stationary wheel is nice on the trails though

The wheels are better suited to flat surfaces. Rolls well on carpet and tile, would likely be good on the sidewalk. The grass may take some effort to push it

The wheels roll well-smooth and pretty quiet. It's not ninja quiet but pretty good and very sturdy wheels. We just came back from disney world using it all day for almost a week and it took some roughing up and is still going strong.

you might be able to prop it up on its bigger rear wheels and bump it up the stairs behind you. i have done this at my mom's apartment (i have a ground floor one but she has a 2nd story one), up 2 smaller flights of stairs. if you can keep a good balance and manage that initial big "PULL!!!" then it should be manageable the rest of the way, if a little bumpy.

It rolls out on wheels. It's slightly unstable when in use so it's not a terrible idea to block off a wheel or two in order to keep it in place. Otherwise it's great.

It does have wheels and moves pretty easily. We have it on a tile surface and have no trouble, however not sure how it would work on carpet.

Hi Cindy, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical 3 Wheel Rollator. This rollator is very easy to fold up and weighs about 11lbs which makes it one of the lightest rollators there is. However, If stability is a major issue it is advised that you look at a rollator with 4 wheels since 4 wheels provide much more stability. It might also make sense for you to look into a walker without wheels since walkers are made to be lightweight and can be more stable for someone getting into and out of a car.

Yes, the motion of the feet on the front bars propels the Ezyroller even uphill. Works well on flat surfaces.

The plastic wheels are a bit flimsy,, but I do store the unit Standing upright in my shed & roll it out for use - over the door jam & on grass & dirt. It is quite heavy, but if you keep it on an angle the wheels support the weight. I don't think you could pull it up a very steep hill, without a struggle. If the manufacturer had made rubber wheels.. it would probably be easier. But the hard pastic wheels are not very forgiving.. Hope this helps.

I've used it little but so far a smooth surface would be optimal. The wheels themselves move around like a shopping cart, unless you know of a way to lock them in one direction.
