Does this have steel wheels like the description says, or are they plastic like on other wagons?

The wheels (inner white rims) on the one we got are plastic. I think the wheels may have changed (from plastic to steel) since we got ours in September. The inner wheel cap on our wagon is red... it is now pictured on Amazon as black. Either way.. the tires are really nice! Very sturdy large air tires They easily pull/ride over any surface. Great wagon!

it has wheels like a car, you can air them up and it works well outside. i got it for my 83 year old mom to use in her yard after she got to weak for a regular cart. She has beat a lot of paint off it but if it keeps her occupied i am happy. She loves it ans uses it every day.

Jerimiah, The outer surfaces of the wheels, inside and outside (I even tested with a magnet), are plastic but the inner structure may in fact be steel. I did not try to dissemble to examine. I have had Radio Flyer wagons in the past but this is the most substantial wagon that I have found. As I stated in the review, the body has marks in the steel but the paint is good and most kids wagons will get dinged up with use, this wagon will take much more effort by the child to ding. Well made and should last through many future brothers and sisters. The best wagon that I have found. Hope that this helps. steve..................

The wheels are plastic. We have had this For about eight months now using it a lot. It is made of good quality and very sturdy. I would not hesitate to buy it again.

Jeremiah, I just went out to the garage to look. The wheels are plastic with pneumatic tires. We have been very satisfied with the durability. I just checked my order history to see when we purchased it. I was surprised that we bought it in April 2011. My now seven year old son has used (abused) it almost daily and it has held up very well. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Dave

The wheels (rims) are steel, while the tires mounted on the steel rims are rubber. Very nice quality!

As I recall putting the wagon together that there were no apparent ball bearings. It rollswith great ease though. They may be inside the wheel housing, but I can't tell you for sure.

The wheels inside are metal. The bar that holds the feeding mechanism is also metal but covered with robber. The only plastic part is the front piece that you see in the picture where the hose feeds through. We have had this hose reel for 2-3 years & have had no problems.

All wheels are hard plastic, but are well constructed. My daughter has had her big wheel for over two years now without anything breaking. The only downside to plastic wheels is the wheel will spin on certain surfaces and not grip to go.

The wheels are plastic but they are VERY sturdy. We load our cart to the max with beach gear and have no problems with the wheels. The cart is well designed and constructed and we are well pleased with our purchase.

Mine had plastic wheels. I am not sure if the company changed them. You can put pneumatic wheels on them.

The wheels are plastic, but they roll smoothly and they handle a reasonable amount of weight.

Yes the tires are hollow and plastic. The wagon goes over grass fairly easily, my 3 year old grandson pulls his 18 month old brother in it over grass from time to time without too big of a struggle. I don't have a problem at all unless we haven't mowed and the grass is tall. As for the rocks, I haven't taken the wagon over any rocks so I don't know.

It has two bigger wheels like in the picture and then two little ones. They are plastic, not rubber wheels. They work and steer very well and hold a lot of weight. I have been very happy with my cart.

The wheels themselves are hard plastic, the brackets for them are metal. They take a little adjusting but work pretty well.

They are hollow and plastic. The wagon pulls well over streets and rough terrain and our grand son loves it.

Thanks but am getting conflicting answers about the wheels being metal vs plastic. One person said they are not metal, but plastic with a rubber belt turning them.

Bought these for my grandsons, I believe the rear wheels are hard plastic. They are the hit of the neighborhood.

They are plastic but almost feel rubberized, I expect them to last as long as the rest of the wagon, it's very well made. My new phew recently got a lower priced wagon about 80.00, and those tires seem like they might crack over time or either over exposure to the sun, these don't seem that way at all. ;-)

The wheels are plastic. I have found this Pet Jogger to be very useful and portable.

The wheels are a harder but durable rubber. Not squishy soft but not a molded hard composition. Good in the house or outside walking the "babies". A quality doll stroller that my grand daughter has enjoyed for two years now. I would recommend it highly!

The wheels are made of plastic. I am very impressed with how durable this toy fire engine is . We have had one since March and have never had a problem with it.
