Are the wheels plastic or rubber? How difficult is it to assemble?

The wheel and tires are plastic. Allow yourself about 1 hour minimum for assembly.

Gouda, both the wheels and tires are plastic. You should set aside 1-2 hours for assembly. The most time consuming part of assembly is putting on the decals.

Putting the wheel together and getting the rubber on the wheel is the most difficult part of the assembly. Strength is needed to stretch the rubber. Otherwise assembly is straightforward.

I believe they are plastic as they are solid, not soft. We used it inside until summer. After it was used outside the wheels were roughed up and I didn't want it to scratch up my floors. It's been a great bike though.

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.

It is NOT rubber. I just got ours and it is a hard plastic frame wheel with a hard foam material for the tread.

just the wheels need to be screwed into the bottom corners, pre-drilled holes. Very easy. The entire thing practically comes pre-assembled.

The wheels are a hard plastic but very sturdy. They lock so they do not move much at all. I have not had any problems with the wheels.

This requires a very minimal amount of assembly. If I can do it -- anyone can! Although in their assembly the screws limit the movement of the wheels so it doesn't roll. Huge bummer!

The wheels appear to be rubber. We've had this chair for about 6 months, and have not had any problems. We often use it on parking lots with uneven, rough surfaces (for the many doctor's appointments) and "off-roading" on grass at the community ball park. There may a scratch or two in the wheels, but they are holding up quite well. I highly recommend this chair.

The arm extensions and the center of the wheels are metal and are very sturdy. The actual wheel material is plastic. Really cute bike, My little girl loves it!

Not that heavy... I think it's made of aluminum metal. And they require assembly but it's pretty easy.

Wheels are plastic. I have had mine for 17 years. We have laminate floors and its not a problem. It's been left outside in the weather and it's still going strong 17 years later.

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.

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

They are plastic wheels, and I wouldn't buy this stroller again. I take my dogs for a walk just about every night, and this stroller hasn't been a good expense. It is uncomfortable to walk behind because the height is really low, and it just takes a lot more effort to push than it should.

Gee I gave it to my grandson, but I think it is metal. That's what surprised me, was so much of it is metal. The wheels of course are plastic, but it seemed to be made quite well, and my grandson (3 yrs. old) is rough on his toys!!

The wheels are indeed plastic. My grandson doesn't play with it because it seems to have a hard time staying on track. Make me an offer and pay shipping and I'll send it to you!
