This knee walker is great indoors. It easily goes from carpet or rug to hardwood floor. I have hardwood floors, thick rugs, and tile in my kitchen. The tires do not mark the flooring. It is very stable. I rush about sometimes, both inside and out, and thus far, I haven't encountered any "tipping" problems. I've definitely put it to the test! It does not have a locking brake, which surprises me. Personally, I haven't really needed one. The walker is extremely well built, very solid yet light. The turning radius is excellent. This model has suited me well--I'm female, 5'5, and weigh 125 pounds. This knee walker is great indoors. It easily goes from carpet or rug to hardwood floor.

Yes and no. It will go smoothly across carpet, tile, and wood flooring. However when you go to change gears (reverse or forward) in can leave black marks on the floor that won't come up.

I have hardwood, sculptured carpet, and deep plush but not shag carpet. I do have some area or runner rugs on top of both my carpets and hardwood and it seems to negotiate the transitions quite well. It will actually back up and hit it from an angle or a running start if it can't mount the transition head on after giving it a few tries. It will, however, push around any rug on hardwood that don't have a slideproof backing or one of those rubberized mats under it.

It will roll on carpet just not as fun and fast as hard wood. If its that indoor/outdoor carpet it should go faster. I have five children but I bought for my 3 yr old, and now I have to kick off the 11 yr year old so the little ones can ride it. All ages loves this faSt car. I'm glad I got it.

It rolls okay on wooden floor or carpet, but it is a workout in itself. One has to lift the rear of the unit to move it and it is heavy and bulky, but it does move. Moving it each time you use it could get old quickly. I leave it in one spot and only move for cleaning underneath.

If you want to use it indoors you will need a space big enough for it to rotate all the way around without hitting anything. Also, I move mine around the yard periodically because the wheel under each seat starts to wear a circular pattern in the grass. I would imagine it would wear a similar pattern in carpet. If you have a cement floor it probably isn't a concern. Hope that helps.

We have wood floors, but my little is stopped by the wheels every time he gets to an area rug or carpeted rooms. Maybe you could find something with more versatile wheels?

No, there is no way to lock in the wheels. It doesn't like to roll very much on carpet, so maybe putting something similar underneath at mealtimes would keep it stationary. It's a great walker since there are no do-dads on it like the other brands. I found that part appealing.

We have no problems with it on carpet, hardwood and area rugs. No problem transitioning from one to the next either. Also drove well on the paved driveway.

Not as it is intended. It is for "drifting"; sliding into turns and such. The alternate tires (supplied) do provide more grip but, not enough for a ride on a carpet. Hope this helps.

The wheels are made of the same plastic as the rest of the toy (like that of a play kitchen). If you take it out on a road they will be scratched and then I personally wouldn't want it on my hardwood, but if you keep it as an inside toy, you're safe! Our baby got this at 12 mo and is now 21 mo and keeps loving it more and more! :)

I would add that I have had mine only since Sept and it is broken; one wheel will not swivel and makes it hard to turn. It was used only inside. It works poorly on carpet, and I would not try it on grass, sand or gravel. Customer service refuses to assist me with a repair; I am going to talk to them again after the first of the year and if I get no assistance at that time, may report the problem to the safety agency.

We dont roll our around too much but when we do the wheels hold up fine. We keep ours in the master bedroom which is carpeted. The wheel seem to do fine with the carpet. They even have two wheels with locks on them to keep it from rolling around. I liked mine so much that I bought my fiance one and it has really helped our laundry hamper situation.

I bought this for my grandson and they have terrazzo floors. The wheels rolls very smoothly and do not skid. I was concerned at first that they would roll out from under him but with the 360 degree turn of the wheels, they are surprisingly steady. It is well designed.

The wheels are hard, but rotate and swivel easily. I have hardwoods throughout my home and have had absolutely no trace of damage. Hope this answer helps.

Hi It works great for me in my daughters room and slides under her bed. It pulls out easily on a wooden floor. I have to remove the rug in front of the bed as the wheels get a little tangled as it is very low profile. You might need to "block" the wheels as the frame will slide if on a wood floor and a kid runs and jumps. Lots of fun!

Easy to push on wheels. Rolls easy on hard surface. Doesn't roll well on carpet and base not wide enough for sitting and rolling on carpet without tipping. The wheels are plastic or hard rubber.
