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.

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.

The wheels are a fairly strong plastic and the way they are attached gives the wagon good maneuverability. The wagon is sturdy yet light weight and my grandson loves it.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

All four wheels swivel. Two of them have locks to prevent turning. They are metal wheels but have a thin strip of rubber to protect the floor. Very nice.

Those are actually wheels, but they don't roll particularly well and do not swivel, so they act more like skids. I haven't found this to be a problem, but if you're looking for a chair that you can glide around on, this is not it.

The wheels are plastic. I have found this Pet Jogger to be very useful and portable.

The little swivel wheel in front feels like rubber. The two large rear wheels are plastic, but not really hard plastic. They have a little give to them.

The wheels are plastic. The instructions are easily read and it was easy to assemble, just make sure the child is not around. Parts may 'wander off' during assembly making everything more difficult lol

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.

Correct. It does not roll, but I honestly prefer it to chairs with wheels. It slides forward/backward very easily on carpet because of the rounded caps on the bar. Side to side is not as easy.

just the wheel; but it won't swivel unless the wheel can move. (so braking the wheel will prevent swiveling)

Yes, both the arm chair and the side chair both swivel-----I`ve had them a year now and like them very much. They are also comfortable as well as being easy to put together or take apart for storage.High recommendation.

Yes, the wheels turn. This walker belongs to my almost 86 year old mom and she is very pleased with how it functions. it is really terrific. I don't think they could possibly improve upon it. Lightweight but sturdy.

Rubber wheels. It handles like a regular baby stroller. It's not heavy duty like a jogging stroller, so it's not meant for rougher use. But for walking on roads and sidewalks, it's fine.

Not sure about the wheels. But my couch and chair moved everytime someone sat down. They hold my furniture in place very well.

heavy plastic rim & spokes with a solid rubber tire. It is a very nice walker
