are the front wheels locked in place or move for easy turning?

Front wheels turn 360 degrees. Extremely well designed walker. Top bar is well padded as is seatcushion, which makes it very comfortable when I turn it around and use it as a seat.

The front wheels turn. It's very easy to navigate. It's a great walker, especially for a shorter person. We have two for my mom (one for upstairs; one for downstairs) and have been very, very pleased. The one on Amazon saved a lot of $$ over the local medical supply store, too. Bonus!

Yes, the wheels turn. This walker belongs to my almost 86 year old mom and she is very pleased with how it functions. it is really terrific. I don't think they could possibly improve upon it. Lightweight but sturdy.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. I just talked to the manufacturer and they told me that the wheels can be switched so that the locks can be put on the front. I hope this information helps with your decision in ordering this product. If we can be of any other assistance, please feel free to contact us.

The front wheel doesn not pivot, you must lift it slightly off the ground to turn it. It's easy to push for sure, but turning it will require lifting it up a little.

The front "axle" turns with the handlebars, powered by good leg. Easy to move, easy to steer. Assembly is a challenge, though, but finally got it.

No, it is fixed and this is the only issue with the cart. When locked in place it gives a leftward bias. We only walk with it so it is not a real issue and anyway your weight will mostly be on the handle thus slightly lifting the front wheel and negating the issue. You turn by directing the rear wheels anyway, meaning subtle inputs from your hands. It is beautifully balanced i should add!

The front wheels are plastic and they do not turn. I am a very small framed person and I used to push this with one hand and walk my 60 lb dog with the other hand 3 blocks a day and had no problems at all. It is very light weight and super easy to push.

No, you can't actually turn the front wheel. However, you can apply downward pressure to slightly lift the front wheel, allowing you to keep the bike fairly straight. Also, you can stop it pretty quickly.

The benefit of being able to lock and unlock the front wheel is, if you are going to jog with yhe baby then you need to lock the front swivel. This will avoid it moving should you roll over a rock or something. When you are just walking or in a syore, unlock it for easy manuevering.

Only the front wheels swivel. The back ones do not, but it maneuvers very well.

The back wheels are stationary. Only the front wheels turn. However, my granddaughter had no problem turning in any direction she wanted.

The handle bars are directly attached/operational with the front wheels. It's pretty easy to steer. It was very difficult for me to get it assembled correctly and tightly enough.

My wheels are locked, but I cannot remember if I had to install them or not. If I installed them it was easy, and they did lock on. You might reverse the way you slip them on. Sorry I cant help more.

Yes and no. There is no lock. It moves easily but also very awkwardly . The wheels are in the front. A better placement would be for them to be in the back because most people lift the front and scoot the back when moving. It's just a stupid design flaw. That said, it is light enough to move easily should you need to but heavy enough to stay out. My older kids are always climbing on it and it's pretty sturdy.

Yes, but only the front castors. I know the two front corners lock, the center front castor may lock also. I've had zero trouble with movement, highly recommend!

Mines a bit different but if the front wheel is locked so it doesn't swivel then yes

The front wheels rotate, they can also be locked so they do not rotate, the back wheels are stationary.
