Can this be set up on a carpeted floor?

Yes it should work good. My son was 5 when we bought it and he still plays with it. Just be prepared to have extra batteries on hand. it takes 6 c and 2 AA.

Yes, the tracks are a bit loose if done this way, but it will run fine, may just have to put it back on track every once in a while. We had ours set up on carpet in a formal living room last year.

My train works fine on the carpet. The track pieces are thick enough to ensure that the train does not snag on the carpet below. In addition, the pieces of track interlock really well, so they don't come apart over uneven surfaces (like my tree skirt). The only possible problem I could see would be if you have a high-nap carpet with really fine threads. Even then, I think you would be in the clear. Hope that helps!

Yes, my nephew sets it up on my parents living room floor that is carpeted and it runs perfectly fine. I hope this helps.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

Yes. You are able to use it on carpeted floors. I have mine on carpeted floor in my living room.

I use it on a carpeted floor. It works fine for me. My caepet has very low pile.

I think so...I've got it on hardwood and the baby can move it a little, but not enough to be a concern. I think it'd actually work better on carpet.

Yes you can, but it's quite heavy and doesn't roll easily over carpet. But we have moved it both into and back out of our bedroom and into the family room st the other end of the house. I wouldn't want to do it on a daily basis or by myself though.

A carpet can make the balance tilt. It should be placed level on a solid floor.

The unit has legs and can be set on a floor - if not carpeted - I put mine on a small platform. It is recommended that you attach it to the wall to stabilizes the unit.

I'm sure you could. It would be firmer on top of a bed or box spring but I don't see why it couldn't be used directly on the floor.

Moving the bed is not too easy on my carpet. Probably would depend on the surface.

Yes, but under the condition you monitor it for a few hours. Different carpets can react to heat differently so it is a good idea to closely monitor the unit when setting it on carpet. Ideally, I would put it on a hearth or tile floor, but as mentioned below, we did not notice any problems with it sitting on our carpet for a few hours.

It can depend on how thick your carpet is. You could try putting the heavy stuff on the bottom or even securing the unit to the wall. It is not a heavy unit.

I have mine set up on the carpet and am having no issues with it. You just need to make sure you use the leveling feet at the end so that everything is setting just right. took me about 5 minutes to get that just perfect.

Although not ideal it works. I have mine on carpet, and it works just as well. If you are concerned you could place a large piece of plywood down underneath.

Yes it can go on carpet but it is not a mat. It is about 4" tall when fully inclined and about 1 1/2" tall when flattened.

Yes. I have only used it standing on carpet. This was an excellent purchase for me. I hope you will be able to enjoy it too.
