What is the height of the seat from the floor? Does it roll well on uneven surfaces or grass? Can it tip easily? We live in a semi-rural area so there could be small cracks in the driveway or sidewalks buckling slightly from tree roots.

My mother is 5'5" tall. While seated in the wheelchair she can put both feet flat on the ground. I can measure the actual height when I see her on April 2 and I can answer this question exactly. You would have to turn the chair around and pull it over the cracks or bumps. This is strictly a chair for use when shopping, transporting from vehicle to restaurant, dr. appt., on flat surfaces. I would recommend something with bigger tires for grass and/or uneven surfaces.

I use it without the large wheels going to and from doctors etc and have no problem on pavement or sidewalks. Have not tried it in grass or dirt that way though.

Answer to your question...not good for grass...glides better on smooth cement driveway or tiled flooring...I too bought it for my daycare boys ( 2 years)..I'd definitely say 12 mos-18 mos...not satisfied &#128078;selling at my next garage sale! And I am a fan of Little Tikes..just not this one...

They are pretty solid but they are smaller wheels so is great for sidewalks etc but probably not so good if you want to go over grass or other terrain - we love this chair for many reasons. It's great for travelling - light weight, it folds up compact (not flat) and you can fit on the corner of your trunk so you don't have to take everything out to get to it. It takes seconds to put up and take down and can be easily stored when not using.

It is probably good that it doesn't have wheels. I am sure that it is for safety reasons. Also, you take the risk of it tipping over and someone in your home getting hurt if it does. I just place it in between the incline and flat benches and there is no problem.

I think it would not do well in thick, plush grass. The wheels are not real oversize. But for pavement, or hard packed grass / ground, this little cart is a gem. Used it today to transport decoration boxes from garage to house and back

We have used it without stakes on the grass, but it will move around a bit with every throw. I think it would be frustrating to use it on a driveway, unless you don't mind re-positioning it after every few throws.

I love it, but I do not have to worry about tipping over. It is stable for me, but truth be told, I could tip it very easily. It is not very wide. And it is not very heavy. For someone elderly, you might want to get a bigger heavier model. Or, if you could attach this to a heavy base with 4 U bolts.

The wheels are better suited to flat surfaces. Rolls well on carpet and tile, would likely be good on the sidewalk. The grass may take some effort to push it

It is very wide which gives it nice balance. If it is on a flat surface it would be very difficult to tip over. I would not place it on any kind of uneven surface especially if your child is strong.

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.

I would add that I have had mine only since Sept and it is broken; one wheel will not swivel and makes it hard to turn. It was used only inside. It works poorly on carpet, and I would not try it on grass, sand or gravel. Customer service refuses to assist me with a repair; I am going to talk to them again after the first of the year and if I get no assistance at that time, may report the problem to the safety agency.

I have been able to turn around in the seat in 1 spot, weeding 360 degrees. I have been able to shuffle it along on gravel but I don't think it's good for the seat. I usually get up though.

Ours is on an upper deck which has indoor/outdoor carpet on it and it is very stable. If you have a thick pad under your carpet it may have a slight spongy feel but I would not think you would have a problem with it tipping over. It does have rollers so you can take it in the kitchen or anywhere with a solid surface. The sports club I attend has theirs on a thicker carpet than ours and they are stable. The machine is very nice and easy to put together in about 15 minutes.

Ya, we have kids from 16 down use it in our driveway. We live on 3 acres and the kids have fun with it. It has lasted 2 seasons so far and is still in good conditions.

Yes. It will turn sharp. We have turned in a public bus and it will 3 point turn just fine if needed. Yes it will tip over on a hold or uneven surfaces, we sure have. Not great on grass but can manage if watch for holes, or a hill. We love it, and would get another.

Grass should be OK but rocky driveways/gravel may be a problem as this scooter has no shock absorbers/springs. It goes better on smooth asphalt.
