Does the cart roll easily when being pushed rather than pulled? Also, I walk a mile to the grocery store...will the wheels hold up? Thanks :)

My father walks a mile tot he store and no problems. The wheels are sturdy and roll easy. I am not sure if my father pulls more than he pushes. But it should work easy both ways.

Works better being pulled but with 2 handed push is fine. If your mile is on pavement or relatively flat then the wheels are okay. Made for level ground, the wheels are smaller than I would like. I use it a lot for festivals and other events where I need to carry things or to have a place for my purchases. The insulated pouch in front isn't great but does help keep a few water bottles cold using some ice packs.

It's much better to pull the cart. It's strong and well made. And the chair is excellent also, so you can sit anytime you want to on your long walk. It's great you can walk a mile. I bought the cart for my brother, now I'm intending on buying for myself.

I have never tried to push it only pull it aside from maybe tring to get it on the bus. But it does roll very well. I have over loaded this cart with 200 dollars worth of grocerys then pulled it over rocks and rough dirt down a trail to my house. I did this all the time and it has held up very well even through snow.This is a strong cart and the wheels are the best part better than any other cart I have had. Most cart wheels cant stand up to my abuse but these do. The time one did fall off it was easy to just put it back on and lock it back in place didnt just fall apart like those old metal shopping carts.

We've had no problems with the wheels yet. We use it almost daily around the house. The handle is a little wobbly, but I think that's more due to how I assembled it. Haven't taken the time to try to correct that. So far really happy with it.

The cart has four wheels, two large wheels on the back, two smaller wheels on the front. Once loaded, I use it as a two wheeler, relying on the back large wheels.....easy to maneuver and is stable when filled. I use it mostly to transport groceries from my car to apartment. It is sturdy and I use it frequently and have bad no trouble.

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

The wheels do not really roll. They are just there. I either pick up the cart or just slide it in bare floor. Pretty stationery and it is a handy dandy size. It does just the trick in my little powder room/laundry. I don't think you need rubber covers.... Although you could find something in Lowes or Home Depot.

No problem at all. I was reluctant to buy this unit since it costs so much more than other ones on Amazon. This one is built really tough and I expect it to last awhile. Plus, our son can haul in all of the groceries at one time vs. making separate trips to the car. The bottom of it is is a rubbery non-skid surface so it doesn't slide around. Best of luck.

I do it all the time. Just pull it up slowly (from behind). Only time I have broken wheels was when I was trying to push it up onto a curb, and accidentally stepped on the wheels while I was pushing it. These are very durable carts. I've had the metal carts, and they are not only much harder to use, their wheels break easily. Just my experience. But I have bought 7 or 8 (given several away) and they are way bettter than metal carts, in my opinion.

This cart is definitely not a heavy duty type. For a few bags of groceries it is just fine. For 20 money bags full of change, I just don't think it will work. Jerry S.

"I am looking to use this to wheel items to and from a car . . . Why do y think the wheels will hold up?" I don't know about the wheels holding up, I pushed this cart with about 10 lbs of stuff on it and since it was a smooth floor, nothing fell down and it was easy to push. If the area between your car and where you're loading the stuff from has small rocks/gravel, then I don't think there'll be stable enough to support the cart and it will tip over.

Hi, yes! Its very easily moved and the wheels are sturdy and have never been troublesome. Its a fantastic product! Very well made.

Yes it rolls quite easily. But NOTE: the top part (the actual popper) does not actually attach to the cart. It merely sits on top of the cart. So be careful when you move it so you don't tip the popper off of the cart.

I don't know how much weigh it can carry but I can load an entire month's groceries in it and do not have a problem with it holding. It has velcro straps to hold it to the cart. You should not have a problem loading anything in it.

This cart is the handiest thing! My wife uses it with a milk crate fastened to it using a bungee cord to transport her frozen food purchases to the freezer in the basement. We have a standard cart which is much larger and the tires are always needing air when we go to use it. However, the regular one will handle larger and heavier loads. Hope this helps!

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.

Not heavy duty as we would normally define it. I have been using mine for six month with no difficulties, though. It works fine for general grocery hauling. (Even through the snow). All wheels are locked in position, so you will have to tip it to steer properly. I think it is just fine for the low price!

I'm not sure how great this would be as a dedicated cart. A lot depends on how much weight you're hoping to carry and the surface it'll be on. When I've got one fully loaded with comic short boxes, I can move it around a bit, to swing it out of the way or shimmy it aside. But the wheels will get hung up easily on small lips or seams in the floor. Also, when it's fully loaded, it doesn't necessarily feel sturdy and rigid enough to haul things around. It feels like if you're not careful, it can tip relatively easily. Something with larger casters that swivel more easily and a sturdier frame might be a better bet.

Roll, no. It's more of a drag it along. The wheels arenet designed to go through sand but will slide along with the right amount of pull. Even though it doesn't go in sand easily, I still found it to be worth the money.
