Does anyone know if infants would have difficulty using this walker on carpeted floors? Our home has carpet and I want to know if this would work.

On flat carpet. Best on hard floor. Can you push high chair with wheels across carpet easily? If not dont bur

This walker does not move easily on bare floors, so I imagine it wouldn't move well on carpet, unless your baby os over 9 months old.

Hey there,I would agree. It works best on hardwood floors and short carpet.Thanks!

No, there is no way to lock in the wheels. It doesn't like to roll very much on carpet, so maybe putting something similar underneath at mealtimes would keep it stationary. It's a great walker since there are no do-dads on it like the other brands. I found that part appealing.

My answer to you is to go in store and look for a lighter walker. My daughter was about 20 pounds when we got this piece. Though it has so much fun to it, she was not able to move in it at all. The lowest it will go was more like she was kneeling down. The middle adjustment, was to high, in addition to our carpeting floor, it was just impossible for her to move around. I just think that it's truly too heavy for children and that's just my opinion. Your grandkid being premie you have to be extra careful with what you offer him. Good luck finding his walker!

Certainly. Now, it depends on how small the child and what type of dexterity you expect. It takes a bit of wrist strength to maneuver the head around obstacles. But for general vacuuming, not too much of a probloem - especially on hard surface floors. It takes a bit of a push to get it to move over carpet.

We have wood floors and a thin rug. So depending on your carpet would be how well it would work. My daughter is still slightly short to ride it (29 inches) but loves pushing and pulling it around

Our children are adults, not living at home. I have had ours slip out of my hand a couple of times ---but it landed on the carpet and it survived. How about using it while sitting/laying on the floor?!?

We have it on a hard surface. It is very heavy and very well made. I think it would work just fine on carpet.

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. The walker gets stuck on every rug I have. I still think it's the best walker out there. I'm really happy with it!

I used it on carpet during the time that I had one, it worked well enough although I believe a firm surface would probably have resulted in smoother movement in the horizontal sliding direction. I think it worked about as expected but just wasn't for me.

I purçhased it when my son was 5 months old. I do not reccomend this walker because it is very unstable and flimsy. It was also impossible to move across carpet

It can be used on carpet, but the thicker the pile the harder it will be to move across the surface of the carpet. This walker is best on hard flooring.

For my grandson it wouldnt even budge i pushed him around on the carpet it moved okay he still loves to sit in it but its been over a month and still wont use it for a walker :)

I have a fairly high and loose pile carpet and it worked fine. It obviously depends on their strength to move it around, but I find they didn't really move themselves around it on their own anyway until they were strong enough to cruise on their own, in which case, I didn't need it. But that was just my girls. They are 15 months next week and still love the table though, especially the piano section.

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).

I don't think that it will work well on carpet or rugs... it is a fast moving toy, and it the wheels will likely get stuck on carpet... on rugs, it may just run slower, but then this toy is fun for toddlers as it goes really fast...

It seems to roll a little slow on carpet, if a child learning to walk that's perfect because you want it to go slow. An toddler will have no problem on carpet, my granddaughter zooms around everywhere!!!

I am using it on a carpet. I have no problem with it. It looks and works fine on a carpet. From the looks of it, It should work fine on the hard work floor. I am expecting some type of stain on the carpet when I remove it, although I am not sure, you may expect some type of streaks from the rubber when you use it on a long run. Overall it is a good product.
