Front locking swivel wheels applied by hand or foot? Is the 'braking mechanism' located on the handles (similar to this &Atilde;&uml; on a bicycle?)

The mechanism for the front locking swivel wheels is between the wheels. I suppose you could use your toes if you have a very small foot but it's designed to be used by hand. It's easy to do and takes only a second. The braking mechanism is brakes for the left and right rear wheels located on the axle and used by foot. Again, easy to do.

On mine, rear brake is a fender that you step on. Works pretty well, actually. Front brake has a hand control.

Front wheels are connected to handlebar. Turn the handlebar and the wheels turn. Just like a bicycle.

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.

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.

On the front of the wheel there is a tab that is used to lock the front wheels in place. This tab also helps stabilize the wheels. You can lock the wheels when your path is straight and smooth and unlock the wheels when turning or on rough terrain.

This bike has both front and rear hand brakes. They work really well too. I would have preferred the other type as I had never used hand brakes before. I am more familiar with them now and it is all ok.

Hello, yes the front wheel does swivel or can be locked in place. Thank you.

I installed something similar on my wife's bike and it has a small lever inside of the housing that you set for your brake type. It was explained well in the instructions. I assume this is the same.

The lock is near the front wheel,under the footrest and it works in a vertical motion from top to bottom, locking and unlocking the wheel. There is a remote release lever located under the right side handle. Pull to disengage the wheel and push to engage the locking device. We are loving this stroller, best investment made on baby items.

The swivel wheels do not lock, they just swivel to go in the direction you steer them. As for assembly, I had no problem, in fact the front swivel wheels may already have been attached. Even if they weren't it they are easy to put on, just four nuts and bolts each. It took me about 10 minutes to put the cart together and most of that was making sure that I got the washers in the right order for the rear wheels. I have found this cart to be most useful and I am fully satisfied with it. The only minor thing is that there is a clicking sound from the front wheels when they roll and other than that this is a great cart.

Correct. To brake the rear wheel, you stand on one foot and press your other foot on top of the little fender/bumper to slow the wheel. You can brake front and back at the same time. Back break takes a bit of balance and practice, hope that helps... Awesome scooters.

I use my "U" lock from my bicycle to lock it around that angled bar just behind the front wheel. I lock it up at places where I won't be very long like the store. Don't think I'd lock it someplace for longer if I couldn't keep a periodic eye on it.

There are two brake levers for each brake. Two small ones on the top of the steering bar, so big ones behind the curve of the handles (you are going to use them while leaning on it). I used the small ones once, because the right big lever broke.

There is a gear in the handlebars that connects them to the wheels, so when you turn the handles the front wheels turn.

The front wheel is quick release. The rear wheel is conventional and needs a wrench to take off.
