how easily can this be moved/slide around? would it move less on carpet? I have 10-month-old twins.

We have twins. They move easily. However, we found our twin 10+ month boys hated staying in the circle. It was too enclosing, and they only stayed calm if we were inside. So instead, we opened up the gates and used them as a fence to block off areas of the living room to keep them safe.

It is really easy to move. I had my 15 pound Corgi in it and she can move her pen all over the kitchen. We put a brick in it to help, but even that didn't help much. But it is an awesome gate overall.

Yes, it's very easy to move. The only thing is that transition from a solid surface to carpet, you need to be careful rolling over the threshold. When folded up, it takes up very little room. We store ours behind a door. We have enjoyed it very much.

Super easy. I move mine all the time. The feet are stainless steel disks so they slide on carpet.

It's not as good on carpet as on solid floors. We have berber and our daughter is able to push her self around, really will depend on how well your 14month old is able to push herself/himself around. Hope that helps.

I have mine on carpet and it works fine. It slides around some, but I put one end under something heavy. I also got mine to lay pretty flat, so that helps.

I have a 14 month old and while mine is against a wall, I'm pretty sure if it wasn't he could push it around IF it is on a smooth, uncarpeted surface. I think if it was on carpet you would probably be OK.

Sure but it wouldn't move at all - you'd have to pick it up to move around. If you tried to slide you may scrape your flooring. You would also be a good 10" shorter.

With the help of a second person it would be easy to move. I move it around myself in my daughters room. The construction is sturdy; however I don't know what it would be like to move to a separate floor.

We used it on a wood laminate floor. It worked fine although we didn't use the suction cups. It moves pretty easy and once the twins started moving they had a blast pushing it around. We used a play mat in it for comfort. They are 19 months now and use a little section of it to play house and hide from each other. Will be using it again when #3 is born in about 6 weeks.

It will move around unless you fasten it with the safety tabs. I have it on a changing table with four sides, and it is a very snug fit, so in my case it doesn't move at all. If you have a changing table like that, then you might be okay.

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.

I have mine on carpet and wanted to put some kind of slider under it. However, I found it too heavy (even empty!) to move easily since the unit spins but the bottom doesnʻt. So I left it as is. To move it, I empty it and then slowly push it using the base.

Our children are adults, not living at home. I have had ours slip out of my hand a couple of times ---but it landed on the carpet and it survived. How about using it while sitting/laying on the floor?!?

Not as well as on hard surface floors. The wheels are relatively small, so don't roll real well if the child is sitting on the toy while on carpet. Our grandson primarily pushes his Wheely Bug, so rolling across carpet/rugs doesn't pose a major problem.

I have it on carpet and it has not left marks, and it moves smoothly. I've been very happy with it. I would have to vote "yes".

because of motor housing at the front, taller than rest of unit and flexible plastic- i would say at least 10 inches; and i agree not easily slidable, but if you put cardboard or use a slick plastic like a sewing or craft cutting mat it works better on my laminate floors, not sure about carpet.

I have mine on carpet, and it doesn't slide. I even have a puppy, who has ran into it a couple of times and it has been fine. I have little trinkets and photos on mine so nothing extreme, but my experience has been good and it is way better than one I bought from Target.
