Would the large wheels make bringing the cart up stairs easier than carts with small wheels?

of course, however the over all load may affect its operation. we must remember - where- items are made!!!

At the time we used the Rio we were at the Dallas Market I didn't see any difference with the size of the wheels made going up stairs any easier but it helped.

if it is folded up it seems to go up normal steps okay. I don't think I would try it opened with beach gear in it and take it up steps. That might not work to good.

Yes, the large wheels makes it very easy to walk on grass or dirt roads. Large gravel doesn't work.

Anything is possible. But I would not want to carry it up and down the stairs very often. It's pretty bulky to be carrying up and down stairs, and I would be afraid of using the wheels to take it up and down the stairs as it might jar something loose in the smoker.

The back (larger) wheels are quite sturdy. They are steel wheels with rubber rims. They are mounted on a single 1/4" steel axle that passes through the whole cart. I generally move the cart by lifting the front wheels off the floor and pushing or pulling the cart to its new location. No issues in either direction.

Yes. I; too, find it easier to walk when pushing a shipping cart. This cart can be pushed; or, it can be pulled to act as a "counter balance." I whitch between two. It is nice to have an "always available" and strudy seat on which to rest, too.

I would guess no unless the person pushing was very strong. I use it to go the clinic (elevators) or a store if no carts are available. Reasonably light and folds compact but because all wheel are same size difficult to manage stairs or curb.

I've never tried this, but I imagine if the steps were a fairly shallow rise and just a few of them at a time, you could go over them. If the steps are steep you may have trouble going over them w/o dumping your payload. The cart is definitely built well and durable enough to handle a few steps.

The four wheels are stronger, however, you can make tighter turns with the three, not as stable. I recommend the 4 wheeler, especially for my next cart...

It would depend on the height and width of the steps. Also we found that the ramps are a bit narrow for a regular wheel chair that has the front wheels that are not in line with the back.

Not unless you are carrying it. The wheels are not sturdy enough to hold it by the handle and "drag" it up. You would have to lift it over the stairs. The bag and frame are good, Just not the wheels

The handle is not necessary for the structure of the cart, but it makes moving it around much easier. N. Ray

Yes, this cart is also available in different patterns, but they all have the stair climbing wheels. http://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Rolling-Folding-Shopping-Grocery/dp/B00A32L9V4/ http://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Rolling-Folding-Shopping-Grocery/dp/B00A32TT5C/

Hi Nanette. I haven't tried dragging the cart up stairs so I can't answer this. I will tell you that we use it to take supplies to and from our boat and the cart travels over a rough gravel parking lot and then down several LONG wooden docks to the Marina then down more docks to the boat slip. The wheels have held up fine so far. Karen

Although I have no direct experience with this particular situation, I would not encourage you to use this cart on rough terrain. For that you would need larger wheels, designed for the purpose. This cart is built to roll on pavement and floors, and to hold squared items like boxes, crates and cases. When I use it for odd-shaped items I have to strap them down with bungee cords. For rough terrain, the larger the wheels, the smoother the ride.

My daughter hasn't had any problems pushing this on the carpet. I think it works better on carpet because the cart doesn't move too fast. :) but even on a hard floor it isn't a problem.

I use my lawn cart on a long sidewalk. I couldn't really say if it would work well on inclines or bumps. I've used it on the lawn by the sidewalk and it's fairly manageable. I'd think something sturdy with bigger wheels would be more appropriate. Hope that is helpful.

Yep! We are mostly carpet and the cart does just fine...perhaps it's the weight of the cart. This is a great cart, sturdy as can be on all types of flooring :)
