how do you go down stairs with a load ?

I gave the cart to my daughter as a Christmas gift. She lives in a building with an elevaor, so I'm not sure that she takes steps often. Sorry, but I am unable to answer your question.

With much difficulty. I have bought many carts these past two years and I was sure this one would do it. I am disabled and live on a second floor with no elevator. I have tripped twice going down and it is scary. Coming up is a dream but you feel the weight of it. You have to hang on to something, railing, so you don't fall backwards. Still, this is the best I have found out there. Give it a try. Maybe you can do better than me. Let me know! Good luck!

I've never used it to down stairs but I would imagine if would work just as well as going upstairs.

The rollers are not really good for going down. It can be done but I prefer to grab the handle and carry it down. It's always easier going down than it is going up.

It is like any other cart. I put the cart in front and gently lower it one step at a time. In front going down and in back going up is the general rule of thumb. It is easier to use than the non stair climbing carts. As with anything I am sure it could be tweaked with improvements.

Up or down the wheel design should make it easy, most of the time I'm going down empty but I don't see why the stair descending would be any different then the ascending.

i put one foot in a handle like a stirrup and do leg presses. With your foot still in the handle you can also lift leg up toward ceiling and lower it slowly. Works great just have to make sure your foot doesn't slide out of handle.

I have the same problem. I've adjust every way I can think of but the steps only go up and down a couple of inches. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

Just pull it forward (neither upward or downward). Takes a bit of back and forth. Maybe place a flat screwdriver and wedge it forward gently.

You have to make sure the floor of the pack and play is in the fully unlocked position. Then you just pull up on the rails. Once they are locked you can then lock the floor in place.

The steps are very wide. You can walk up and down them with ease. I have bad knees. Still no problem. Yes you can leave the hand rail down.

I believe you just step on it with one foot for an instant, and then step off. Wait a few seconds and then it should be ready to weigh.

It goes up and down stairs fine, as long as you are carrying a light load. The wheels only lasted a few months when used daily.

With two people carrying transporting downstairs won't be a problem unless you have a kink in your stairs. If so, it wouldn't likely make the turn easily.

There are wooden slats underneath the carpeted steps that pivot upright and fit into slots to keep the steps in stair position. If you fold down those wooden slats, the steps lie flat and create a ramp. If you need to fold the whole unit flat, you would just put it in the ramp position and then fold the legs underneath it.

You must need 2 people to carry up stair it will be heavy unless you wanna break your spine.

There is a "button" on the back of the top step. It may be a little stiff at first by just press in and it will release the lock and allow the steps to come down.

There is a lever or button on top of ladder towards right side. Press/squeeze on it. It should open up.

Hi David, not sure how or where you're planning to lift this to. I drag it from my bdrm to the living room. And I am 5' 3" female. I think it weights about 50 lbs. I wouldn't able to carry it down through the stairs by myself. Hope this info gives you some idea.

I have not had any trouble giving way to everyday tugs. I can't say I've had full body tugs or pushes. I would encourage tightening tension rods if you are concerned. I would also advise NOT to use at the top of stairs.

Yes, it does but you have to provide the power. If it's too heavy you may have problems pulling it up the stairs.

I don't have any stairs. But it's a bit awkward, like trying to use an upright vacuum on stairs. It'll get the job done I'm sure if you are patient.
