Will this work on carpet, on and/or off the track?

It sure will!! We have a plush carpet and it works just fine off the track.

Yes, this works well on carpet and outdoors. We have the track set up on carpet to help keep my son's riding contained while he is in the house but he knows how to take it off now and will ride it all over the house. Lol! When we go outside, he rides it without the track with no problem. He really enjoys this toy a lot!

Yes, but because the wheels are smooth, it sometimes spins out getting started.

No, it does not work on our carpet, the carpet is a short, nylon pile. The wheels just spin and does not get any traction at all. He uses his feet to push it. I've been looking to replace the back wheels with rubber and have not found any yet. Hope this will help someone before buying thinking it will work on any carpet. Son love the train though.

I have mine on tile and running under furniture, but I see no reason it won't work on carpet or under a rug. After installation, this wire way lays really flat even without the tape

Yes. Everything will still work. You can use the mode to move to next track.

Yes and no. It will go smoothly across carpet, tile, and wood flooring. However when you go to change gears (reverse or forward) in can leave black marks on the floor that won't come up.

Sorry for the delay. Been away. Yes, it will work on carpet. If the carpet is dry when you place it, then if the carpet gets damp or wet the device will alarm. It does need to be placed flat in its back.

I've only used it on very thin carpet and it does go further after getting off the track.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

Works best on smooth floors, i.e. hardwood, tile, etc. I've tried it on carpet and it doesn't move well.

It should work on most wooden tracks, depending on the width of the tracks. The width of the train is 1" from tire to tire. I hope this helps.

Both. I tried it in both areas. It isn't getting "hung up" on carpeting, it just stops moving.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

Since this model can be used on either carpet or bare floor, there are two switches. One of the switches is on/off and the other switch is for carpet/floor. It runs beautifully or either.

I used it on carpet during the time that I had one, it worked well enough although I believe a firm surface would probably have resulted in smoother movement in the horizontal sliding direction. I think it worked about as expected but just wasn't for me.

Yes, we use it on carpet and it works perfectly. There are foot extensions that come with it specifically designed to allow it to work on carpet.

Yes. It would not work on carpeting. I have vinyl floors and so does my daughter in law as this was a gift for my grandson. Beware--it is noisy but the kids love it.

Yes, it will drive on carpet. This is a very durable toy. It is still one of my 2 grandson's favorite toys after 1 year and several batteries.

HI....I don't see why it wouldn't work on carpet. It will stay stationary wherever you put it. Hope this helps.
