How is the maneuverability of these carts? Do they have a wide turning radius? I am considering this cart for dog shows and product fairs.

It works quite nicely in our yard and garden. No sports car turn radius but more than adequate for our purposes and very smooth moving. We're very pleased with ours.

I have used my new cart all spring for light loads and heavy loads (wood from tree trimming). I just love this cart. I think it would be great for dog shows and product fairs. It is very maneuverable, it turns and go backwards well. If you get it, I hope you love it as much as I do. Good luck with the dog shows and product fairs!

The maneuverability of the cart is excellent. The turning radius is very short. Much better than I had expected. I've only used it for gardening, so I can't say how it would work for product fairs. The top comes off very easily so it can be used for a variety of chores. It rolls easily and quietly. I feel that it's a good product and would highly recommend it.

This cart is one of my best investments as a mobile DJ. The larger wheels roll over most terrain with ease. I'm not sure about "all terrain" but i've used it on grass, gravel, and uneven pavement. If you are expecting harsher terrain, it may not perform as well.

Keep in mind the front wheels don't twist when you turn so it can be hard trying to move the actual cart when you need to turn. If it's just for a short walk it might be manageable. However that's if the front wheels actually stay where their supposed to but I found they both tend to slide to the middle making it even harder to use. If your using it for long distances I would spend my money on a good quality wagon not this one.

This cart can be both pushed or pulled. Pushing may be tricky as the there is no way to steer the front wheels. But if the path is more or less straight pushing is fine. I have found that pushing is preferred if the path is up hill. It's a great cart and very sturdy. Love the fold flat feature. it would be great for carting the dog crate and a chair. Just be sure to secure both to the cart with bungee cords.

It cannot make sharp turns, but it is like a bicycle. Sometimes to get. in small spots you may have to go back and forth a bit like parallel parking a car. It worked great for me to use at work.

It makes turns okay and glides fairly easily. I USE it a lot and it is great for my dogs. The top unit is for small dogs mine is 4.5 pounds and the bottom unit is very roomy. My 10 lb dogs fit comfortably. I put a small cat bed in the bottom for more comfort. It fits fully upright in the back of my minivan so the dogs ride there when we are in the car. I love mine and use it several times a week. My only con for it is there aren't clearer instructions on the use of the controls on the front wheels. They are used to adjust the front for different types of terrains but no other instructions on which position is for what. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating instead of a 4 star. I am sure you will love it.

these are hard wheels, not rubber. they rotate and are okay on sidewalks or other smooth surfaces (inside the mall) but not great on grass or gravel. it would be fine for taking cats on a walk. very large space inside, my two eight pounds (each dog) fit in there comfortably together.

NOT wide. Pay extra and get the one with WIDE wheels. It would cost more then the cart itself to convert to wider wheels !!

Yes This Cart I have works very good. It handles on rough surfaces pretty good. I always use the cart for my groceries.

The wheels are just like a bike's, and are very maneuverable with a great turn radius. It's expensive, but WELL worth it. Hope this helps.

The stroller is portrayed as such, but, quite honestly, I would not trust it to stay upright should your dog(s) shift position while going at a good rate of speed. It's maneuverability rates a "C" at best in my estimation. I suggest you further investigate before committing.

I find this cart easy to handle on stairs depending upon how much weight you can handle. The cart alone is no problem. What I find most difficult is turning the front wheels to tuck them in when wanting to close the cart and put it in the car trunk.

Yes, it's steerable, but with a wide radius. For tight turns, I lift the handle bars a little and then aim it in the direction I want to go. I've been using mine for about nine weeks and haven't regretted it at all.

Yes, the front wheels do pivot, which is a great improvement over non-pivoting wheels. You can now turn corners without raising the front two wheels.

This was my main concern. As with any tire they can go flat. I've walked over 4 blocks a day to the beach for about two weeks with the cart and must say that the tires hold up great. The asphalt that I'm pushing on is old and very rough. I've had no problem with the cart or the tires...wish I would have bought it sooner. I think as long as you not constantly rolling over sharp objects you'll be fine. The tires also cine with a small repair kit.

As others have said, the wheels are a hard rubber. They don't mar my solid walnut floors and my floor normally scratches easily; they are not the Lumber Liquidator type (which is really resilient), but the real kind with polyurethane finish. It is a solid cart with large baskets and more sturdy hooks than I've seen with other carts.
