Are the folding wheels durable? I've had 2 Magna Carts &amp; the folding mechanisms are plastic. They both have broken within a year of having the cart.

I have not had this one for a year but I carry my heavy bass amp on it and take it up and down stairs and it has held up well. I had one before but made the mistake of giving it away. The guy is still using it and he carries amp as well. These are rugged tires.

No, they're plastic except for the parts that matter - axles, gears, etc. With care and minor maintenance (cleaning, occasionally lightly oiled, kept dry, fresh batteries) they should last a long time. The electronics are compact and durable as is the whole set. I'm not sure what you mean by "fast", but speeds are reasonable, variable and realistic. Sound matches movement. Because the loco uses internal batteries, the wheels don't need to be metal. I operate mine on powered metal track that also supports the more standard electric trains. For that reason I'm glad the wheels aren't metal (making a short circuit). Hope this helps. Len.

Yes, it has a fairly decent set of plastic wheels. They've held up well, for me, over the couple years I've had mine.

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.

My problem with the same train is a little different. It carries all plastic weight inside the carts, but it will not run more than two or three rounds before it derails and rests on its side. I have not t ride to put any other weights other than plastic fruits . My grand son loves it, but the train is made very cheap.

The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often! (About 3-5 times a week during sping/summer)The only "complaint" I have is that, while it is a BG wagon, it clearly shows 2 children sitting comfortably in it, but I guarantee they will be stepping on each others feet and there knees will be touching if they are 2+. I only have one child so it has only been an issue twice when I was walking my friends child and my son. This may not even be an issue for you, but I figured I'd give that info. Besides that, I absolutely love it. The wheels are made of a very hard, thick, durable plastic.I have never had an issue with the wheels and we use it quite often!

I started using mine almost 9 months ago and I use it pretty consistently. It has held up fairly well, however, I've noticed the the loops on the handles attached to the bag are starting to tear. I also attach it to my stroller frequently so that might be why. Overall, it is in good shape still.

I have not noticed any heavy wear on my cart. We walked about a block to get to the beach and I had my cart fully loaded (cooler, umbrella, towels and toys). The wheels appear to be solid but they are plastic so I would expect normal wear

I have had it for a couple of months. No issues. Came to us in perfect condition. I have two children 11 and 7 that look at it and spin it often. I recommend it.

At a point about where those metal rods intersect with the handle shaft, there is a piece that slides UP. This piece may have a lock mechanism. Once this is slid up, the cart will fold. Be sure to unlock and fold the single front wheel back first! I hope this helps.

They appear to be a hard rubber wheel. The cart has worked well so far, but the only thing you can't do is flip up the bottom support without the wheels folding. They are connected and once the wheels unfold, so does the bottom support. It's not really a problem, but something to mention.

I assume you're referring to the Magna Cart Personal 150 lb Capacity Aluminum Folding Hand Truck , also sold on Amazon, and this one.This one is tubular steel tubing, and it's slightly heavier than the other cart, which is made of square aluminum tubes.

The wheels are like your basic umbrella stroller, but double. I haven't noticed anything strange about the wheels not rolling straight. It basically goes where I push it. It's reasonably durable. I've had it for about six months now. This stroller gets a lot of use. The only wear I've noticed is that the handle foam is breaking a little, but I always hang my bags off of it. Also the seam where the chair is stretched out, but mainly because I let my 4 yr old sit there with one of my twins on his lap while the other twin sat in the other seat. I use it multiple times every day to go places with the twins. ( I keep it in the trunk of my car). The wheels are like your basic umbrella stroller, but double.

Have not had any problems with the wheels but we do not use cart on a regular basis although we have used it with very heavy items and it was fine.

This modern version looks to have a plastic hinge. I have an older version, made circa 1970s right here in the US (not made in China like this new one), and the only plastic parts are the wheels and handle. But, they haven't broken in the 40 years it's been around, so I wouldn't say they'd break at all.

Sorry. The one we bought was the first one we purchased. Our granddaughters LOVE it. They've only had it since Christmas so I hope the wheels are still working. Let me know if you find out where to get replacement wheels. The way they're using it, they'll need them also.

Used 2 of them for 4 weeks and no breakage. For sure they are not strong but I think it likely they can be replaced with wheels off a standard shelf from a hardware store. Still a great buy!
