Can you push this cart in front of you or do you have to pull it behind you? I'm looking for something I can push rather than pull.

Yes, you can push it. Going up a flight of stairs, I would pull it. But going down, you can let it go down first.

I gave it to my mom as a gift but i'm pretty sure you can push it. You can't lean on it though like a walker.

Yes. To sit, you lock the brakes. turn around. When ready to get up, stand, turn around and release the brake

I prefer pulling it but you can also push it but I find that a little bit awkward.

As long as you "pull" behind you and not push in front it should be ok...same at the beach....this cart performs better pulling rather than pushing.

Hi Nanette. I haven't tried dragging the cart up stairs so I can't answer this. I will tell you that we use it to take supplies to and from our boat and the cart travels over a rough gravel parking lot and then down several LONG wooden docks to the Marina then down more docks to the boat slip. The wheels have held up fine so far. Karen

No, I used this for my son when he was learning how to walk. I just filled it up with can goods to weigh it down so it would fly forward. My four year old daughter still uses this grocery cart. Love this cart!

We have mostly wood floors and area rugs. My daughter has no problem pushing the cart across the carpet, though it is fairly low pile. She has struggled with the transition from floor to carpet because it takes a little finagling (she is about 16 months old now and is getting the hang of it).

Remove the little plastic pieces. Stand the cart on one end (preferably on a carpet where it won't slip). Press the wheel on the metal piece very hard (using your weight if necessary). You will hear a click and it will be on. Turn over and do the same with the other wheel. Good luck. I love mine.

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

I don't know why you would want to. They do lock, so the cart doesn't move. I really like mine.

Yes you can either push or pull it. It takes both hands to push if you want to steer it. It helps if you buy some plastic crates, similar to what Wal mart sells you can put two on and stack them. It is very sturdy and I use it to haul rocks for gem shows.

the manufacturer would have to have the option of having the stair friendly wheels you see on other products to make stairs easier for some of us. Not sure you could have those type wheels put on the cart. But I just pull it up behind me when I need to. I'm not sure what the difference the stair climbing wheels are to the wheels on the cart you still have to pull the cart up the stairs.

Yes you can push it using the handle, but steering and walking with its easier when pulling it.

Yes--it's very heavy as well. Make sure you have at least two people when you try to place it on the finished cart. The island is great, everything we wanted, but placing the granite on top got a little scary when it turned out a wheel wasn't in securely and popped out. Once you're past that bit, you're good.

I have used my new cart all spring for light loads and heavy loads (wood from tree trimming). I just love this cart. I think it would be great for dog shows and product fairs. It is very maneuverable, it turns and go backwards well. If you get it, I hope you love it as much as I do. Good luck with the dog shows and product fairs!

No worries it tracks directl;y behind your bike. The tongue is angled. As to another respondent saying it id unstable......This is a two wheel cart so you have to use common sense when loading it. I load mis with fishing equipment uce chest all the time and haver had no stability problems. If it is not attatched to your buike it wiil tip. I attached 2 adjustable kickstands to the front and back of mine. Proiblem solved. This cart is well worth the money. I love it.

Yes, you can push the cart. It goes very smooth on the sidewalk. This is my second cart and I'm very happy to have it. The last one was not that strong so this model is much, much better and will last longer.
