how well do they ride on carpeting?

They don't seem to work on carpeting at all. We have mostly tile floors but I just tried them on a fairly flat area rug and on our one carpeted bedroom and they didn't go even an inch. So, no, not on carpeting.

The cars ride very well on flat not tufted carpet as well as hardwood. They are the best in this type of car and highly recommended. My grandchildren love them!

Yep. On hardwood they go all over. On carpet they definetly get tossed around, just not as far.

He rode it easily onto an area rug and then off onto flooring. His playroom at home is carpeted and I have pics of him riding it there so I think you will find it is Ok.

Ok on carpet. But not like on hard surfaces. Stay centered and be careful with turns. I did ok once I got used to it on all surfaces. MK

They sure are. They're more prone to losing their tracks on carpet, but if you make gentle turns instead of really sharp turns they're fine. They're a great little toy. (Of course if you make a gentle turn you're apt to get shot, but you do keep your tracks on.)

I have a fairly high and loose pile carpet and it worked fine. It obviously depends on their strength to move it around, but I find they didn't really move themselves around it on their own anyway until they were strong enough to cruise on their own, in which case, I didn't need it. But that was just my girls. They are 15 months next week and still love the table though, especially the piano section.

I've used them indoors on my carpet and they worked fine - even with a fast Lab and a big golden retriever. You could easily duct tape the legs to the ground as well.

It seems very stable on the carpet flooring. Might slide on Harwood or vinyl

I would not attempt them over carpet. They are likely to shift on you and could cause some serious injuries. Or some laughs. But why risk it

The only carpeting it's been used is on indoor/outdoor type of carpeting and the wheels move over that carpeting just fine.

If they are in their highest position they are slightly unstable on carpet. However, my 5 year old climbs on them and they have never tipped.

Mine is on medium carpet, and it's been doing just fine. Not a single problem.

It works perfectly well on carpet. The wheels are high, so there are no problems with "driving" it on carpet surfaces.

It's a very stable and extremely smooth machine. If the carpet is level with no lumps it should do well.

Yes on low to medium thickness carpet rolls around fine. Same on hard surfaces like tile. Easy to move around and actually pretty quiet to move it around even on the tile.

It does better on a smooth floor but will work on carpet. it has a powerful engine

I do not know if these casters roll easily on carpet. I purchased them to see if they would prevent excessive wear on heavy plastic floor mat. The original castors cracked the lighter floor mat within three years. But I weigh 200 pounds and that might help to wear excessively. I have not tried them on my low carpet.
