After watching the video it appears that the plastic base may slide around, particularly on carpet, has anyone had this problem?

The base can slide around, but we've had fun attaching a teather to it and dragging the horse around the room. When the baby bounces in it, it doesn't slide-if that's what you're asking.

My Grand daughter loves her Rocking rider, she is 16 months old now, got it for 1st B-Day. It is still set up in the rocking position, it does not move around on hard wood. We have not put it on carpet. If it did slide on carpet I would put a piece of sticky Velcro to hold it in place.

We've had ours for over a year and not had the issue of sliding around on carpet. I will say, though, that my little guy tends to bounce up and down rather than "rock", so that may be part of the difference. We have gotten a ton of use out of it and he has finally outgrown it. Would highly recommend to others.

As I wrote in my review of this product: YES, the plastic base will slide around on carpets, wooden or tile floors, which in turn will reduce the rocking fun. However, there is a solution to that: at any Walmart or K-Mart you can buy play mats for kids, wich are made of slip resistant foam; if you put the rockin' rider on such a mat there is no more sliding around and the fun can begin!! Hope this was helpful to you. Best regards, Andy.

Amanda, the base does slide on our hardwood floor, and a little on the carpet in the rocking position. My Grandson is 13 months and blind, we bought this for him because of the seat to hold him in. He absolutely loves it and just this week has figured out how to make it talk and sign. We still have it in the rocking position but think it won't be long until we switch it to the steady position.

My granddaughter's is on carpet and it doesn't move at all. Their carpet is a low plush but the base stays put very well.

As long as space on which it sits has carpeting, it should not slide. It has a few strips of velcro on the bottom that grab the carpet.

No, use hard sliders (Like these) to slide over a soft surface like carpet. Use soft or felt sliders to slide over hard surfaces.

The back of mine is against a wall and I haven't noticed a problem with it sliding even on vinyl plank floors but my cats are old, fat, and lazy, they use it but not too vigorously!

I am not having that problem.. Of course mine is on carpet. Maybe you can get those little rubber thingys that holds throw carpets down and put them on the ends of the legs.. might help and you don't lose much if it doesn't.

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

The item has a rubberized material sewn on the base which has pretty good anti-slide properties. I have not had a problem with the item sliding at all. Over time, I suppose the material could harden and become slick. If that should happen, I plan to use a swatch of rubberized shelf liner to keep the item in place.

Haven't had any problems. I didn't have to attach it to the wall and it sits just fine on the carpet. I still can't believe how nice it is for the price.

I have three on carpet and one on engineered wood and it hasn't scratched it. There are round plastic tabs attached to the bottom of the legs.

I would say it's stable and does not slide easily. I've had no problems in that regard. I've got the stand on the rubber mat that PetFusion sells.

I have mine on carpet and wanted to put some kind of slider under it. However, I found it too heavy (even empty!) to move easily since the unit spins but the bottom doesnʻt. So I left it as is. To move it, I empty it and then slowly push it using the base.

I don't have it on carpet, use it on a plastic mat over a wood floor - it rolls very easily on that mat.

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

No. But I am not sure you would want one. These stay put enough, we have half a dozen of these and I haven't heard anyone state that it moves when they don't want it to. We have all of these on those plastic carpet mats, so if they were going to glide unintentionally I would think we would have discovered that by now. Hope that helps.

I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement. However, I just rechecked my organizer to see what makes it "no-slip". I would say that the primary bottom material (my guess is vinyl) is not no-slip. The bottom border (all the way around) is a no-slip rubber-like material. My guess is that without any modification, it would slip on some plastics so it depends on the type plastic of your cargo liner. Some possible suggestions if it doesn't hold in place is to add a rubber tape to the bottom that does hold or add velcro. I guess for your purposes you could add velcro to the milk crate but I do like this organizer and am glad I bought it. I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement.

No. I have some fatties, too. The most that has ever happened is that it slides on the floor some. But the kitty who plays with it the most will sometimes sit on the cardboard center, while he pushes the ball around. Carpeting might make a difference in keeping it stationary. We don't have any carpeting in our house.

mine does, I have a regular depth type of carpet, it is not a low pile carpet. you turn the switch on the ball to on. and it starts rolling around .
