I would love to know if this walker works well on rugs? i have rugs in my living area and rooms, but its not that fluffy rug.

Really depends on the child. At first my daughter was not able too. I had to remove the rug for a few days while she was in her learning stages.

The answer is NO! Works very well on tile floors - made the mistake of not checking that out. Although, not good on carpet it is very sturdy and nice. My granddaughter loves it (was 6 months old when received)!!! And I don't think it is up to the child because it is just not good on carpet - most children maneuver it backwards first, my granddaughter went forward first. And I have not tried checking the safety feature like Cynthia mentioned. I will have to check that out - good to know.

No not really unless a very flat weave almost like an out door rug. Our grandson learned pretty well to maneuver around rugs Perfect for hardwood or kitchen tile .

Yes - the walker has stops on it - just remove them and it will glide well on carpets.

No it doesn't. I have mostly tile floors, but I have one big rug in my living room and the walker won't budge when it is on it. It isn't a fluffy rug either, it's actually very thin.

Yes,on the bottom it has some type of sefety pieces and after a while I took them off,it runs as a sports car!!!!! My daughter enjoys it so much!!!!!

I have been using it on my newly refinished hardwood floors without any issues. Does not seem to scratch them and it picks up well. However I have found it somewhat hard to move over my new plusher carpet even on the lowest suction level.

I have hardwood, sculptured carpet, and deep plush but not shag carpet. I do have some area or runner rugs on top of both my carpets and hardwood and it seems to negotiate the transitions quite well. It will actually back up and hit it from an angle or a running start if it can't mount the transition head on after giving it a few tries. It will, however, push around any rug on hardwood that don't have a slideproof backing or one of those rubberized mats under it.

I just used it for a move-in to my new home and I just laid it down on the traffic areas. It is just like a runner. So if that is all you need to do, it will work well. And you will need to pick it up once your guests are gone. I think the longer you leave it on, the sticky stuff may end up on your carpet. But if it is picked up within a few hours, all is fine. Hope this helps.

Well I dont have mines on a rug, mines is on a hardwood floor. But you can set it on a rug with no problem. Actually that would be better b/c you dont have to worry about scratgching your floor.

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

I use straw in my feral cats bedding that somehow seems to always get tracked in the house especially if my shoes are damp on the bottoms.I can pick it up just fine with this little sweeper.But most likely it is because its on very low pile,kitchen type carpeting in my laundry room at the back door.I haven't tried it on more plush carpeting.But just looking at the sweeper I think it would work well on the shorter type rugs and carpeting.The more flat the carpeting the easier it would be to roll over and grasp whats laying there.

Yes ! I use it all the time. The only problem I have had is, if the rug is too light weight. I use it on most area rugs too, just move it faster when you get near the edge until its off the rug.

Yes this definitely works on carpet. However, the carpet I was using it on was a flat berber type carpet. I cannot speak for a more plush thicker carpet. I think it would slide. Perhaps a rug gripper (a mesh liner you can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond) may help keep it secure on thicker carpet.

I don't think that it will work well on carpet or rugs... it is a fast moving toy, and it the wheels will likely get stuck on carpet... on rugs, it may just run slower, but then this toy is fun for toddlers as it goes really fast...

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

I use it on small kitchen area rugs only. It would be too much effort to do a whole carpeted room. It's best for hard surface floors. Makes cleaning a breeze on those.

It will work well on dog hair if you are vacuuming a hard, smooth surface such as smooth tile or hardwood. We don't have any rugs so I can't give you an answer on how it will work on rugs. I will say that the suction is not very powerful so I would be cautious about buying it to use primarily on floors with rugs.

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I have laminate flooring with rugs. No problem so far. I use the shark on the lower setting on the floor.

This is a great walker, however it doesn't roll very well on our living room carpet, which is a thick plush carpet. Fortunately 75% of our main living area is tile.

i have tile AND carpet. depends on the carpet. regular bedroom carpet: it does a great job. however, i just bought some modern "high pile" rugs at ikea and the roomba won't move on them :-( my mom has the 780 roomba and that one moves on high pile rugs easily. luckily, the rugs i bought are small enough to just shake them. again, it does a great job on regular bedroom carpets. my friends have only carpets and have had all generations of roombas and love them.
