Do the wheels swivel both directions( when it's pushed as a wheel chair and as a walker)? Are the wheels made of rubber or plastic?

The wheels swivel all around and the wheels feel like rubber to me. I have no complaints about this walker. I have 2, one for inside and one for outside when I water the yard. That way I don't bring any dirt into the house.

The two front wheels swivel all the way around. Whether you are using it as a rollator or a transport chair, the same two wheels are in front. Having the rear two wheels statically mounted (no swivel or turn) adds to it's stability when rolling. The wheels have molded plastic hubs and good rubber "tires".

The picture on this page shows the unit arranged as a rollator. When the person pushing it wants to sit down they turn around and sit between the handles and lean on the backrest. When it is used as a transport chair, the backrest is removed and reinstalled in the reverse direction. A foot rest is dropped down so that the sitting person has a back rest and a foot rest. The person that pushes then uses the handles to push. This capability means that the unit travels in the same direction whether used as a rollator or transport chair. The leading two wheels are the only ones that swivel and they swivel in a complete circle. The wheels are very sturdy with molded plastic rims and solid rubber tires.

The wheels swivel in all directions. The inner part of the wheels is molded plastic and the outer covering of the wheels is sturdy rubber.

It has two bigger wheels like in the picture and then two little ones. They are plastic, not rubber wheels. They work and steer very well and hold a lot of weight. I have been very happy with my cart.

Wheels are plastic. It took my husband about an hour to assemble. Instructions are easy to follow.

The wheels are indeed plastic. My grandson doesn't play with it because it seems to have a hard time staying on track. Make me an offer and pay shipping and I'll send it to you!

Yes the wheels are plastic the rest of the chair is great. I have had the chair for 3 months.

I just received this swivel car and it too came with plastic wheels even though it specifically says in the description that it comes with rubber wheels. Sending it back.

About the size of a baby stroller. Yes, the wheels turn. There is also breaks you push down with your feet when the pet stroller is standing so it won't roll.

large wheels in front and gliders in back. When you put weight on the walker the rear brakes engage. You don't need to pick up the walker to move it straight forward, but may have to lift a bit to turn it as the wheels don't swivel.

Wheels are hard plastic and easy to wheel on bare floors, not so much on carpet. You will enjoy this chair and hope it fits your needs.

I think the wheels are plastic but this stroller is very sturdy. Gave two as gifts to our granddaughters.no complaints from their moms. well worth the money.

The balls on the side are wood. The knobs and spinners on the back are wood. BUT the gears on the right side are plastic while the knobs at the center are wood. This is a GREAT walker - very sturdy and doesn't tip over unlike a lot of other ones out there.

They are rubber wheels. Good quality for the price. My son loves them. They were a birthday gift for him last year.

Thanks but am getting conflicting answers about the wheels being metal vs plastic. One person said they are not metal, but plastic with a rubber belt turning them.

The wheels appear to be rubber. We've had this chair for about 6 months, and have not had any problems. We often use it on parking lots with uneven, rough surfaces (for the many doctor's appointments) and "off-roading" on grass at the community ball park. There may a scratch or two in the wheels, but they are holding up quite well. I highly recommend this chair.

Our wheels do the same. I believe this is by design, similar to a stroller or grocery cart. It doesn't seem to be a problem for my grandson.

No, the wheels are not rubber. My daughter has had this for a couple years now and still takes it on long walks with her babies.
